What is the current situation re Salford?
It seems to have all gone quiet, are they hoping that if nowt's said then it'll go away?

Reading an article yesterday, Hull are putting offers to king and the offers aren't getting any further than that. It appears Salford are insistent on holding out to the last minute to get investment.

I thought that a condition of the advance was that their finances were looked into and they were told to reduce costs by 800k. They appear to have other ideas. Dangerous game to play.

I’ve little sympathy for them and I’m guessing some clubs are probably losing patience.

I’m not sure the RFL will be too thrilled by them either tbh. Wasn’t it the RFL that’s told them to reduce by 800k and Salford appear to have just carried on.

That said I’ve really lost interest in the Salford saga.

One thing that has changed in regards potential Salford acquisitions is the fact now Leeds will have cap space to make approaches for players too after the Sivo injury.

Given he hasn’t played in a competitive game I believe the full value of his salary will be removed from their cap.

Didn't Brad Arthur say that he didn't want to play any part in the demise of another club (putting aside the obvious point that NOT buying their players is what could cause their demise)? And isn't the director of rugby or something at Leeds the ex-Salford guy?

Well looking like we’re about to announce Someone. Not too sure about the Gif that our social team have used on X, looks double of Peter Sutcliffe

Salford just announced Chan on loan from Wigan so it looks like something positive is happening with the investment discussions.

Or they need players in, as players are leaving.

Thought RFL weren't allowing them to register any player until there cap was down at 1.2mil?
