What a strange outfit Salford. A huge selection of jokers and misfits.

Your bordering on being a joke club.

It's laughable some on here believe with this marquee rule coming in Salford will somehow be able to attract top players because they can pay a few bob.

Top players want to go to top clubs. Salford will never fall into this category.

Good luck Kevin Locke, sadly we mismanaged from the day you arrived.

I blame that Steve Simms fella.

It's a great shame that it's finished this way.
If it's true that players are owed money,and I assume the lawyers are stating the facts,then it's very disappointing.
Irrespective of form and injuries,these are professional people signing contracts in good faith.
Every time there's a story likes this,it reduces the pool of talent that will sign for us.
I'm sure MK will cover this on Tuesday but,as redgunner rightly states,we're fast becoming a joke and it saddens me.

Amen to those comments, BR.

I'm very saddened by this story and feel the whole Locke saga (as expressed in the media) reflects badly on the club.

Aren't overseas players paid differently to British lads? Somebody once told me that overseas players get paid a basic living allowance and the rest is paid into an account they can access at the end of their contract. I wonder if any disputes could be relating to this? Maybe the club haven't transferred money periodically to these accounts (For cash flow reason's) and some players are getting a little nervous? I suppose as long as all the money is there at the end it's OK. Just a thought because if they weren't getting paid at all they wouldn't be eating would they?

Let's look on the bright side of life !
Whatever it is,and wherever it's paid,if we're being sued for non payment,it's seriously bad form.

I kind of remember this, it was "image rights" that were held in an account and released when the player leaves the country. The tax man kicked off and there was a real chance that most of the SL clubs would go bust. I think it was Leeds who went into bat against this and everything turned out OK. I don't think they are allowed to do the image rights thing anymore, though.

Terrible situation that has been brewing for months, as I have previously stated all will come out in the end and it wont just be TP & Locke who will be forced out unpaid.

As for it freeing up salary cap space?? im not too sure any of the Salford players have issues with their actual salary!

I wasn't intentionally trying to make the situation appear trivial. I just find it interesting that this solicitor Cramer who is representing both Puletua and Locke was also representing two Salford players in 2012 when these players served a winding up order on the club. Could this have been for the very same reason I mentioned in my previous post? and could this be Cramer's next manoeuvre? www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/o ... ng-up-case
