A company may deduct Tax and Ni from your wages but that does not mean that they have paid them to the taxman straight away, some pay monthly some 3 monthly and some 6 monthly. Most peoples wages are paid straight into a bank account so there is no actual cash involved just a number, at this point your deductions are just a number until the bill is settled, so no cash has been "deducted" a number of sports clubs delay paying taxes until other revenues come in. The most famous being Leeds United and we know what happened to them. There is also a Tory policy to encourage and support new businesses and ones in trouble by allowing a tax holiday where the company will still deduct the Tax from your wage but can reinvest in the company, which means you would be a shareholder, I don't think the tories have realised this yet, of your company. So Salford settled the tax bill early and keep overdraft costs down through the months of low income.
Lesson plan "your wage packet and who takes what?"

I don't quite follow how settling any tax bill early would keep overdraft costs low.

The payment of wages and salaries is not just a number. It is a transaction that has gone through the bank account to settle the liability of wages and salaries. As such it reduces the bank balance. Depending what state your balance is already in this could leave you still with a surplus, take you overdrawn or increase your overdraft.

Companies that are struggling often use the money they have collected in VAT or PAYE & NI to meet their cashflow needs. This is usually only sustainable for a limited time before HMRC decide enough is enough.

That what fans should be thinking. get to your academy games and cheer on your young'uns. give them some confidence and make them fee required, they'l up their game and maybe we'll see a better England team one day...

Think he's either HKR or Wakefield bound. We are too far away.

All your recruiting is done for next season.. and Holdsworth is the last, what about Broughton then? Everyone seems to think hes nailed and signed already.

I'm pretty sure someone said he's training with Salford at the moment?

Maybe they've made all the signings they're going to make, but haven't announced them all yet. I'm sure someone somewhere said that the Broughton signing can't be announced until January for some reason, while we all know that the signings of Billy Slater and Johnathan Thurston are nailed on but just haven't been made public yet.
