I don't understand it from a fairness point of view I'm not a fan of the loop fixtures as they just serve a purpose of getting more fixtures due to it being a 12 team league.

None of them, none of them

Half a mill isn't a small amount of money..... Bet the Salford fans who took a loan out to help the club are well chuffed.
