Last week people were moaning the RFL were taking too long with the due diligence checks, this week they're moaning they didn't do proper due diligence texts, as incompetent as the RFL are, they can't win at times.

Happy with the Batchelor signing, several more signings of that calibre please.

I don’t know about mega rich, there seems to be little to absolutely no information about him about him available, or the other named guy who was named in the consortium and as a shareholder alongside Krisnan Inu. 

TBF think it was mainly Salford as a club and some of their fans complaining about it the time the RFL were taking, think most people feel the RFL probably didn't go tough enough. We know ourselves that the checks take a while when AP sold to AT & DH. Think the only think the RFL are guilty of is not spotting the issue along with IMG whilst doing all the auditing for the Grading etc. As Pete said the timing of Salford announcing the financial situation so soon after the grades were awarded seemed more than a coincidence.

Aaron Bower reporting that the RFL have given Salford dispensation to name 5 different players from the original cap side that played Midlands Hurricanes in the cup because of injuries and suspensions, so the likes of Sneyd and Watkins have been added. He also says Salford look to have convinced the players that they will actually be paid so they’re open to playing Friday, maybe not the walk over people expected for Cas. 

James Bell rumour going round on twitter.
The quota spot would put me off though. We only have 1 spare going into next year

Very pleased with the Batchelor signing. Very good second rower.
A decent start to our 2026 recruitment.

Plus it wouldnt surprise me to see Balmforth move to 13 in coming seasons
