[quote="Tarquin Fuego":w0vus29g]WTF has happened with Salford Disgrace to the Integrity of the Competition and IMG[/quote:w0vus29g] As part of the ‘special measures’ for taking the funding advance they can only register 1.2 million pounds worth of player on the salary cap until the takeover if fully ratified by the RFL. The owners at Salford claim assurances have been made, debts paid off and all paperwork has been submitted for this to be complete. You can kind of understand them being annoyed if it’s the RFL now dragging its heels, but these things just have to take time from a legal point of view, it’s not the RFL who left it 2 weeks before the season to buy the club. The new owners obviously have decided not to risk injury of players etc if they won’t let them field their best side. I just don’t understand it though as the 1.2 million side they played last week was decent. Brierley, Cross, Marsters, Macdonald, Nikorima and some first team forwards. It could have made a decent fist of a game on BBC. It looks to me like Salford are being awkward to ‘prove a point’ not sure what it achieves though really.

[quote="JACK DETH":2t1cf2jw]Kendall for some reason seems to find the smallest offences when he is reffing us. Does anybody actually know when and if we have won a game with him in charge? Anyway last nights game was free of ref interference. I doubt very much if ours will be the same.[/quote:2t1cf2jw] 2024 London A Lost (Lane yellow) Rovers H Lost (Fash and Balmforth yellow) 2023 Salford H Lost Saints in the Cup H Lost (Griffin red) Wakefield H Won Warrington H Lost 2022 Saints H Lost (Galed red, Wynne yellow) Warrington H Won Rovers at Magic W (Fash yellow) Cas H Won (Sao red, Wynne yellow x2) In 2021 he reffed us six times with a total of one red and five yellows. so tonight the odds are we'll lose and have someone carded.

[quote="Jake the Peg":1rxb2ehy]Yeah same and as I was 11 I couldn't even drown my sorrows. Definitely robbed[/quote:1rxb2ehy] I was 12 and had a couple of cans of Long Life on the bus home. Didn't ease the pain though. Nothing wrong with Brays' try. Definitely robbed.

30 years old and on a Thursday to Sunday trip from half way on Hessle Road (how much did we drink on those trips) felt a real sense that we were robbed and watched it back so many times since and we were. But it was certainly a sombre old night in the Prince of Wales in Drewery lane!

Fash v Rovers (2024) was Fash being totally petulant looking for a fight, so his own fault. Griffen v Sts in the Cup ( 2023) although frustrating, was Griffen’s fault, he should have just kept his mouth shut and gone off for HT. Gale v Sts (2023) was a careless kick and followed by trying to pick Lomax up. So we can’t blame Kendall for any of those. Can’t remember the other incidents. However, a bit of perspective is sometimes a good thing. If any of the above cards had happened in during other teams’ matches I doubt we would have disagreed with the decision.
