Announcement tomorrow. Salford, who fell head first into a massive bucket of crap get bailed out by a multi-millionaire and come out of the said bucket smelling of roses with their licence intact.

So that's Wakefield, Bradford and Salford having run rings around the licence system.

Next up?

I don't think anyone is having a go at any club as such.

The thing is, the RFL introduced a set of criteria that has not been adhered to on multiple occasions except to be used against any club that they see fit.
Any disgruntlement or anomosity is directed against them.
At our level we feel like lepers who are being allowed to die off.

Having bypassed the rules to fit Bradford as a "iconic" club that could not be allowed to go out of buisness they now have to apply the same with all other Super League clubs to avoid discrimination.

it would have been interesting to see how much help they would have given Salford if the Bradford incident had not happened.
Much less if any I suspect.

Salford are as much a part of good traditional Rugby league as anyone else and as a club it's great news that they have now got what looks like a strong backer.

Have a good season and lets hope your away from the problems.

Definately not and it's heartening that the RFL can still attract the money men. What is abhorrent is the complete disregard to, and pointlessness of, the licencing system. It is one big fat joke and a complete sham. Good riddance to it in 2014 and i look forward to welcoming Salford to the Shay again in SL2.

Mate the game isn't well enough to have one super league never mind making two full time leagues. Wishful thinking that mate.

Re: Grim at Salford : Fri Jan 18, 2013 3:29 pm  

There will be one full time SL and one semi-pro league.

Are there enough quality players for two competitive 10 team Super Leagues

Ha ha and you really think after all this hard work the RFL put in to bring in an investor sell him the super league dream and the year after dump his said team who he plans to spend millions on in a semi pro 2nd division? You really are deluded!
