What a disgrace. Putting a team like that out first game of season. Completely takes away all the great spectacle that Wigan and Leigh put on. No super league team should have a score like that put on them. Does Saints a massive favour with points difference. Could do massive damage to the game, people watching that on the bbc.Totally thrown their toys out the pram, and blame the rfl for the mess they created.

Special mention should be made of Salford's hardcore fans - the real victims of this ongoing farce. Knowing that they were on a hiding to nothing; they travelled to Saints and took said hiding whilst supporting their colts throughout the rout and beyond.
Mr Integrity should (but won't) hang his head in shame.
The begging bowl went out in December and was duly filled but with strings attached. Since then Agincourtian bow fingers have been waved at the RFL, fellow SL teams and now broadcasters - the paymasters. THROW THE BOOK AT 'EM!
But what good would that do? What's still left in the book?
Points deduction? It would seem after today that Salford (barring again their hardcore support) don't value points.
Relegation? Is it still in the RFL's nal after IMG were called in?
Massive fine? What is the biggest allowed under our existing rules? If it is relatively paltry, hit them again and again until they toe the line. Maybe their new backers will start to get cold feet - if indeed they pass the fit and proper test!
After a great first few games of the new season (three really tight ones and an upset in Perpignan), tonight's debacle is what will stick in the collective mind!

More trouble brewing for the Salford Red Devils - https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/rf ... ontroversy
Rowley's childish explanation for picking one team for the Challenge Cup, an initial squad with Sneyd and Watkins and the Academy side he eventually put out against St Helens, is picked apart in the article by Aaron Bower. Hopefully when the RFL throw the book at Salford, I hope it hits the two fingers that the Red Devils are holding up to Super League. This is not a good look for the sport and Salford are still in a precarious position with IMG gradings. |

Absolute disgrace from Paul Rowley, brilliant coach arguable best coach in the league with Lam but he was way off the mark with this one.
The side he put out last week against Midlands would of given St Helens a decent enough game. Its not the RFL, super league or anyone's fault other than Salford regarding there finances.
2 points deducted required imo.

My take is both sides are at fault. Salford for spending more than they can afford is the crux of the problem and they should be penalised as such. The RFL for allowing the situation to drag on. They should have allowed Salford to field their strongest team and punished Salford with a points deduction rather than letting this farce play out in front of the BBC cameras. Unfortunately, we have no strong leadership or common sense in the RFL.

I agree the RFL have handled the whole situation poorly, ever since the request for advanced funds was made. But the team selection made by Rowley was an absolute disgrace. They knew and accepted the salary cap conditions as part of receiving the advance, and what that reduced cap does is stop Salford from fielding a team that is funded by an advance not available to other clubs.
To not pick the first teamers they could pick was bad enough. To only go with 3 subs is dreadful. There should be some punishment dished out for this, and given their willingness to throw these kids into impossible situations, I'd be asking serious questions about whether they should be allowed and elite academy license. They ought to be put on notice that they will revoke that if they pull such a stunt again. |

What I can’t get my head around, is why img didn’t spot any issues around there finances when they were doing there gradings. As for Rowley saying about players meeting each other for the first time, total .

Narked RAMBLE ALERT!

Were Bongser to have his thoughts “dissed” by the real ee cummings, he would indeed be flattered (if a little alarmed, as said gent has been dead for 62 years), but he accepts no pale imitations! “Diss-missed!”
Bongser spoke of the collective mind, not yours. As B got into work today, the cleaner, Brian (Manc, works Sunday to Thursday) spoke not about Wigan 0-1 Leigh, but about the farce with Saints.
Derek has been very supportive of Salford in their inpecunity (see his posts/tweets passim), but he seems well dischuffed with Rowley’s shenanigans:
https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/derek-be ... ed-stories
The RFL also seems less than impressed:
https://www.totalrl.com/rfl-launch-inve ... ens-clash/
Though, with the RFL as ever moving slower than an iceberg (will there be any icebergs left by the time they act? And, no, Bongser is not talking about lettuces (or Liz Truss)) will anything meaningful happen. They’ve given Salford a week to respond. Why a week in this “instant” day & age?
Postpone any ratification of the new ownership until a response is forthcoming; keep the sanctions in place; and if Rowls (to borrow a cudgel from Leythig) pulls the same stunt again versus Leeds on Saturday, come down hard!
satanic mills, Bongser presumes that you derive your name from William Blake, He also wrote, “There is a grain of sand in Lambeth that Satan cannot find.”
Is there a grain of integrity in Mr Integrity? Will he hold up his hands, admit that he behaved deplorably, apologise and accept the consequences? Or will he come out all-guns-blazing like Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid?
If the latter, Bongser can only see a picture of Paul Rowley fade into sepia to a Bacharach soundtrack concerning raindrops and a dikk-ead!
Rant over!
For now…..

| ChatGPT to the rescue - "Non-payment of wages to a sportsperson may not automatically render the contract null and void, but it can provide grounds for termination or legal action, depending on the terms of the contract and the applicable laws or regulations. Here’s how it typically works: Contract Terms: The contract itself will often outline the consequences of non-payment. If there is a clause stating that non-payment is a material breach, the sportsperson may be entitled to terminate the contract. Material Breach: In many jurisdictions, non-payment of wages is considered a material breach of contract, especially if the payments are a significant part of the contract's obligations. Right to Terminate: If the non-payment constitutes a material breach, the sportsperson can issue a formal notice of breach to the employer, giving them a certain period to remedy the situation (often referred to as a "grace period"). Governing Regulations: Certain sports are governed by specific regulations (like FIFA Regulations for football players or player union agreements). These regulations often provide mechanisms for resolving wage disputes and may allow contract termination if wages are not paid within a certain period. Legal Action & Damages: The sportsperson may also pursue legal action for breach of contract to recover unpaid wages and potentially claim additional damages. Null and Void vs. Termination: - "Null and Void" typically means the contract was never valid from the start — which is rare in wage disputes.
- Termination means the contract was valid but is ended due to breach.
Conclusion:Non-payment of wages does not automatically void a contract but is likely to provide grounds for termination and legal action. The specific outcome depends on the contract terms, the governing regulations, and the laws in the relevant jurisdiction." |
