Quote: Khlav Kalash "Well its nearly pay day again and as far as I can see no major investment has been forthcoming and season ticket take up has been pitiful, stands to reason Trinity need to offload another player to pay the wages as per Tim Smith.'"


You might have just jinxed your team there mate, well with what I've heard anyway.

The situation with Tim Smith is different to those from the Crusaders and should not be confused. Salford signed him but he unlike those at the Crusaders had employment so in theory could not be classed as being disadvantaged by staying at Wakefield. The Crusaders had gone into liquidation therefore the RFL to assist the players who were not responsible for their demise an exemptions to allow them to be able to find a club at short notice.
This was announced by the RFL to alert teams therefore I think it is unlikely that Smith will be classed as exempt. I presume this is Salford's attempt to try to justify the number of players from overseas. If the rl do change the number of non uk players I am afraid Smith will still be on quota.

If we had a pound for every time a Salford fan "in the know" came on here predicting this and that we'd have enough money to start buying your players.
Pipe down, our chairman has said he is unaware of any deals so unless Dr K is up to his under hand tricks again, "what you've heard" is worth little.
Jeez!!!

Call me wrong but Smith is Australian and will stay on the quota. We are not questioning that you have signed him but the fact that some Salford supporters assume he is exempt giving you an additional spot. We are not in the position Crusaders were and therefore assuming our publicised money problems are the same is wrong. If you had an exemption I am sure the RFL would need to declare it rather than give Salford exclusive rights. If they had then we could question if we got the best deal because other clubs were disadvantaged thinking they would be signing a quota player.

Not sure about this but didn't clubs have to vote to decide that players would be given dispensation at crusaders. More than likely this would be the case and doubt they would just hand Salford a unfair advantage just like that. Salford and and the DR along with the RFL are going to make a mockery of our sport. Who actually wants to watch their team that contains mostly imports and a journey man and one that may spend a bit of time in front of the panel from time to time?

Latest is that hodgson at wolves has been released. If he goes to Salford something really dodgy is happening. This could add a few hundred to Salfords gates but may drive supporters of other clubs away as no one want to watch a sport were rules are different from one club to another.

Let it go. I'll enjoy watching their players play and I'll enjoy it even more when we manage to turn them over.

The Doc has probably painted a bullseye on the Devils for next season and most teams will go extra fired up.

No problem whatsoever with Salford. If successful it will be good to see another team up there in the mix. Dont think they are doing anything that other clubs havent done in the past, just maybe a bit more vocal/honest about it.

For so many years they have been struggling at a similar level to us. Gives us all a bit of hope!

Agree with these sentiments. Salford will be working to the regulations imposed by the RFL. Who's to say other clubs won't doing so.

Salford Red Devils RLFC. [quote="Gotcha":y7izhg01]Salford won't win Super League in my lifetime. Even saying in jest they would sounds stupid.[/quote:y7izhg01]:



Quote: Trinity 61 "Agreed I'll not be going to the away game at Salford because of this!
Why because somebody on the Wakefield forum has come up with their own theory? Dont be so pathetic.

Also the originally poster supercat, grow up. Why would the RFL hand Salford an unfair advantage? All clubs are permitted to play to the same rules. They fined us £10k for christ sake when we fielded 14 players for 30 seconds against Castleford earlier in the season, this was then reduced to £5k but with the deduction of the 2 points. If the RFL were really giving Salford an unfair advantage we wouldnt have been punished so harshly.

Just because a couple of Salford fans think their in the know (when we all know their not) dont get your knickers in a twist.

We shall see down the line whether the doc pays any attention to the rules. Personally don't give a monkeys what he does more interested in putting my money in Trinity's coffers than Salford's !!
