Early news from the press conference is that Tim Sheens is the new Director Of Rugby as of next week & players have always been paid on time and in full since he took over.

Under Armour are owed around £35,000 I think, plus I believe Kooga have one from last season that is still not paid.

One of the Aussie players had baliff's at his front door because the rent was unpaid for 9 months however I am not sure if that was a CCJ or an eviction order.

Are you suggesting that Salford are trying to get around the salary cap by giving benefits in kind IE we will pay X £ for your accommodation to players and then not paying up ?

Lots of clubs do things for players like paying for accommodation, cars, jobs for wives etc. It's all covered by the salary cap. They do it as it helps lower the tax the player would pay and/or they have sponsors or links with companies who will provide that kind of benefit as an alternative to a direct sponsorship deal.

Nope, I am suggesting that a certain player who is of Australian heritage and has played for several sides in Super League had a knock on the door from people trying to evict him due to unpaid rent.

For all I know it could be an arrangement to pay the rent from his salary but through the club. Either way it didn't get paid and yet another person is owed money by the good Dr.

Guess Rene Mathis has paid Minolta Konica bill this afternoon
