One that they clearly have no faith in which is presumably why they don't want to field any of those players for the game against us...

If it was a virus sweeping through the squad they'd have a point. Injuries and a raft of suspensions is no reason. Koukash will have to get his wallet out and get loanees in.

Re: Salford game : Mon Apr 27, 2015 7:39 pm  

Just looked at there board and someone has put a potential team on there with 14 players, add Ian Watson then you only need two more from the 19s or loanees. Is even bet a couple with play injured with injections etc.

Really really poor by Salford.

Salford can just stick to the rules and play a raft of U19s, they cannot be allowed to break any rules on loan players or salary cap.

I'm sure some are genuine injuries preventing those players taking the field but how many of the injured are just niggles who would ordinarily play but because they don't fancy it they're declaring them unfit to play thus making the injury situation seem worse than it is.

I guess we'll see on Friday but I'd put money on some of those on the injured list turning out.

We've had to register coaches to play before today so I have little sympathy....plus were desperate for the points so sorry Marwan.

We played all our A team when first team went on strike.
As for loan players not sure of present rules but we had 19 Aussies playing mainly A team games living in 2 houses in Hawthorne Ave.,
Know different game then but still RL .

Salford could be granted special dispensation to bring in 3-4 loan players to fulfil the fixture according to their local journo.

well i hope all other SL teams decline the option to help them out! as other have said, could become ugly at the end of round 23 if by some miracle we were battling for 8th n 9th with salford and lose out!

Apart from Morley who's out that didn't play against Cas ?
