I have not heard any of the Salford management say anything bad about this deal or criticise the Bulls for "tapping up". In their position they would surely have said something if they thought any rivals had acted inappropriately and were suspected of trying to take advantage of their financial plight.
I have not heard that the RFL have decided to investigate either because a club has complained about an inappropriate approach or ,in the absence of a complaint, they felt something untoward had taken place.
I have not heard any of Sidlow's former teammates criticise his or his agent's actions.
So are there any similarities between CK and Sidlow? Tenuous at best-- the words straws and clutching come to mind

All this from the fan of a club which asset stripped the Sheffield Eagles (we'll rename the new club by taking 'Hudders' from Huddersfield and the 'field' from Sheffield and play the games at......Huddersfield) and now feels he has the moral high ground because we've taken on a single player from a club!! You couldn't make it up!

"Maybe you trying to deflect away from what the RL Giants really are, you might not like it but heyho its history and you gonna have to live with it."

There were actually rumours that it was to be a straight swap for Platt. But Salford's situation has meant they're unable to sign players so that part of the deal fell through.

In fact, didn't Sidlow or someone reporting the transfer say that Salford had said to Sidlow "If they offer you a deal you're happy with you can go with our blessings"?
