From what I've read here

Salford will only be able to register players up to their new cap limit of £1.2m. They've got a CC game against Midlands Hurricanes next week, so they'll be able to put out a weakened side. Once Super League starts, unless their situation changes i.e. a take-over is completed, they'll have to proceed with a £1.2m squad with the remainder of the players, presumably the highest earners, unavailable but still being paid.



For the potential buyers - it's very much in their interests to run the clock down.

I get why Rowley has done it, regardless of the reason he gave, he picked that squad as a middle finger to the RFL. But he easily could have picked a competitive squad for saints and he should have done so. The restriction should have been lifted once the take over was completed, I hope they do lift it so we can all just get on with Rugby League as normal.

This has been a poop show for the fans and the Salford players, hopefully the new owners can turn them in to a competitive team year in year out without the circus that surrounds them.

I wonder if the investigation into last weeks team selection will be forgotten about now.

Never mind the team selection issues .... Is anybody going to Salford on Saturday afternoon just to watch The Happy Mondays do their pre match and half time set ?? ... Or will it just be me in a primrose and blue bucket hat ??

I know of a few Wire fans that often go up to Salford games.
