Same thing that happens to every team in this country found guilty. A tiny fine that makes no difference to a minted chairman and a points penalty that might help them into the Middle 8s next season where they'll start on 0 points again.


Which has worked really well for Salford this year...... :lol:

True. But not really that much down to the points deduction. They should still have had enough quality to walk that Middle 8s, but have somehow managed to lose to London and end up in a terrible position. Yes the points deduction helped put them in there in the first place, but they should have still been good enough to get out of it. For whatever reason (and I have my opinions on that too), they're bottled it.

Maybe the points deduction has a bigger effect on the players than we might think. Look at our example, and now Salford.

London are a decent enough team, erratic like us, but not a major surprise for them to beat Salford especially if Salford thought it was a bye

Not sure there is much of a connection with our case, tbh. Mainly due to us going into admin, which, considering the players we lost due to TUPE before the season actually started, I think maybe contributed considerably more to our demise than losing the points ever did.

We also never got to defend our position in any kind of play-off. Other than the whole season play-off which our denuded squad had to play, preceeding our dropping out of SL, of course. Salford, as the Hamster correctly [imo] says, should have been good enough to win through.

The James Clare to Leigh rumour was shot down by Rohan Smith on Bulls Banter Facebook last night

O'Brien? Why would he sign a new deal towards the end of the season and then decide to jump ship?

No doubt all of our players will have SL buyout clauses in their contracts.
It would be a shame if any SL side came along and cherry picked our talent, but it's always a danger when you're playing in the lower leagues unfortunately.

He's been on there at least a couple of time IIRC in a very professional fashion, and well managed by the two ladies who moderate the "Banter" forum. In some cases they have put fan questions to him and in others he has replied directly to other posted comments.

It seems to have been well managed tbh and I actually think its a positive step to have some direct contact from the club.

Obviously I expect this to come crashing down when some berk takes the pi$$ and gives him some expletive ridden torrent of abuse, etc but for now I'm a big fan of reading what he has to say.
