Reports suggest that the game may not take place on Sunday due to there money problems e.g. they have let go of lots of players today and have no money in the bank! If it goes head it will be Wigan v Salford reserves

Salford players not paid. I'd say it's not looking promising for Sunday but we'll see. 

Tomorrow (Friday) both clubs have to name their 21 player squad.Interesting to see how many players are named by Salford and who they are!

MP already said Chan can play for them, obviously no obligation to do so but if other clubs could loan them some fringe players so they can fulfil their fixtures it would at least keep them going short term.
Sad but it's hard to see how they're going to be in SL next season

Hard to see how they continue in SL this season. What a mess the club has been left in. Crazy contracts handed out to big names players over the years.

The previous excuses of international money transfers taking a while now surely don't stand up? I understand days or a couple of weeks but not months. I feel for the staff, players and fans. We are very lucky that we have strong ownership.


Very awkward situation for the RFL as there is no doubt an obligation to play 6 fixtures a week for Sky so I'm guessing they would be due some cash back if the club were stood down. The integrity of the league has already been damaged as I've said before.

Also if they do field a reserves or academy team, I hope we do the same. Rest everyone ahead of the match next Friday.

Isn't Farrimond going to Salford after this weeks game? 

There needs to be blame attributed to IMG for this as well. If we have a grading model then these financial issues should have been identified much earlier.

Surely the RFL are the ones who are validating / checking salary cap submissions etc, Yes IMG have implemented the grading structure, but are they receiving data from clubs and checking it? i genuinely dont know but would assume that IMG in conjunction with the RFL have agreed on criteria, and then the RFL validate it?
