[quote="karetaker":2k3qq7c9]Just seen an article where Rowley says he can only pick a team that comes under the restrictions. So this week’s cup game he can’t go above the 1.2 million which he probably would not have done so anyway. But goes on to say he hopes it’s sorted by the time we get to start of the season properly.[/quote:2k3qq7c9] Thanks. So any visibility on which squad is registered or can he just pick and mix £1.2m worth from the players under contract? It's a farce.

[quote="BOSS HOG":1jzchi67]If this situation is allowed to fester into their Super League fixtures it will make a mockery of Rugby League in the UK.[/quote:1jzchi67] 100% and end of day it’s at the RFL’s door step. They should have enforced the restrictions regardless but it seems they have allowed Salford snowball them with the takeover that’s apparently meant to have been announced this week, yes 1 day to go but I wouldn’t be holding my breath.

Glad the takeover has happened, hopefully they can just crack on with playing now

[quote="Or thane":271w6z1l]Glad the takeover has happened, hopefully they can just crack on with playing now [/quote:271w6z1l] Agreed, and if it all goes according to plan I think that Salford will be in a good position and the area around the ground will significantly benefit too.

Yes glad it's sorted. So do the RFL now rescind the £1.2M cap they applied and get the £500K advance returned? Salford played this well in their interests and the RFL let them get away with it causing uncertainty and destabilisation up to 2 days of their first fixture.
