The 1.2 restrictions apply only for this weeks cup game they will be at full cap for 1st league game.

All turned out well in the end I guess. I doubt Salford will need to return the advance, they just won’t get it again when the rest of the clubs do.

Could the RFL have legally been able to enforce the sale of players? I guess the sustainability cap would have forced Salfords hand eventually, but they rode it out and it paid dividends for them.

Just need Cas to get their takeover and stadium plans sorted and the clubs look in a half decent state hopefully - though still heavily dependent on owner finance of course.

I’m glad they’re available to batter Saints next week.

Salford certainly deserve to be punished, but sadly that will do nothing to redress the damage that has already been done to the integrity of the competition. Rowley behaved like a petulant child with his ridiculous team selection and the nonsensical reasons he gave for it, and Salford basically chose to screw over the rest of the league just to make a daft point. Rowley has always come across as a prickly character, and you can now even lose the 'ly character' part from that description, it seems.

They & he have not done themselves any favours. I have moved them up the list of my least favourite teams (that will teach 'em).

Never liked Rowley, pity he wasn’t out there with a Salford shirt on facing the saints forwards, I’d would have paid to watch that

A slam dunk of a case - bringing the game into disrepute via the national broadcaster and 400K+ viewers*.

My opinion is nothing will come from it since this as gone on for far too long in the first place.

As it stands restrictions still in place this week and also a story going around the new CEO as left.

Looks like a solution has been found...... (Not before time). https://x.com/M_Shaw1/status/1892257700408410202
