Salford lost the least of all SL clubs last season - they are just in trouble because they don't have a wealthy benefactor. Where would we be without M&M? rather than trying to cherry pick from their carcass, wouldn't it be better if the clubs got together to try to work out a plan to keep them going as a viable SL club pending some meaningful outside investment? If we don't start looking at the bigger picture we might not have a professional game to support soon, they could be the first of many dominoes to fall.

I can't help thinking the problems at Salford ,which are not new, should have been discussed before expansionist London was forced back to the Championship.

Great post. Another RFL masterstroke. Relegate a team in an expansion area whilst keeping a team that is very close to being bankrupt. Oh and leave the issue dragging on to within 3 weeks of the start of the season.

They purposely, imo, held out so it was too late for the rfl and the img grading to have an affect on 2025 and guarantee they remained in SL despite the issue.
