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

[quote="Wires71":4w7yi4bi]Yes glad it's sorted. So do the RFL now rescind the £1.2M cap they applied and get the £500K advance returned? Salford played this well in their interests and the RFL let them get away with it causing uncertainty and destabilisation up to 2 days of their first fixture.[/quote:4w7yi4bi] 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.

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.

I have moved them up the list of my least favourite teams (that will teach 'em).

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

I get why Rowley has done it, regardless of the reason he gave, he picked that squad as a middle finger to the RFL. But he easily could have picked a competitive squad for saints and he should have done so. The restriction should have been lifted once the take over was completed, I hope they do lift it so we can all just get on with Rugby League as normal. This has been a poop show for the fans and the Salford players, hopefully the new owners can turn them in to a competitive team year in year out without the circus that surrounds them.

I wonder if the investigation into last weeks team selection will be forgotten about now.

Never mind the team selection issues .... Is anybody going to Salford on Saturday afternoon just to watch The Happy Mondays do their pre match and half time set ?? ... Or will it just be me in a primrose and blue bucket hat ??
