Like I said earlier it's unlikely to be permitted at this stage for the outcry from Saints, Wigan, Leeds et al, who would be disadvantaged by the sudden late change.

But maybe there is no bid, but it's a good way to get in the press and say well if it had have been allowed I would have stopped Burgess going to Union etc...

Regardless of whether Burgess would have signed for Salford or not.

I think other clubs would have been informed about a marquee player rule as well as Salford. The way RImmer was talking about it on bbc Manc I think this will get the go ahead, or maybe it already has??
