Salford deducted 6 points at the tribunal. Cheats never prosper...

We will probably feel the full backlash from this on sunday now

Let's hope so.

With the game being played on Saturday we might be home with the points by then!

Sin field to kr in 3 weeks till end of season.

Damn, that means the short term deal for Thurston must have hit a snag.

Is this a guess because the RU season is finishing and he's peacocks mate

No, it's his uncontrollable need to post any old tosh on here.

Haha I'm a idiot was going as well good job i didn't set off Sunday i would get there and watch Salford giving nobody a backlash

Salford will either be unsettled by this or determined to prove the rfl wrong. If we play as well as last week, there will be no problem either way.

Concentrate on our own performance, nullify Dobbo, and we'll be fine.

I dont think that they got a big enough points deduction me i would have said 12 or more

Depends to what extent it's been broken though doesn't it, and we don't know that yet.

Besides Dobbo, they've now got Robert Lui back as well and he can be a real handful. Josh Jones also had a standout game for them last weekend against Cats in the back row, going up against Glenn Stewart, but their double barrelled second row signing from the NRL has dropped off a bit of late.

As you say, if we repeat the intensity, commitment and flair we showed against Cas (something that's been absent in our DNA for several seasons) then we should have more than enough to come away with the 2 points.

I believe we picked up a few injuries in Wood but Griffin is still touch and go.

If the RFL could prove I think there would be more teams found to be over the Cap you can't tell me that Salford are the only team. You only have to look at the squads and no way in the world are all of these teams spending within the limits.
If they are some of the younger players being playing for the minimum wage

The whole system is corrupt imo. Id say there is half a dozen teams taking the pi$$ out of the salary cap. Rovers obviously not amongst them.

The 6 points is basically a slap on the wrist, If the RFL had meant business they would have put in a sanction that might actually hurt them. All things being equal Salford would have been in and around 9th or 10th place so would have been playing in the middle 8's with us anyway. I may be wrong come the end of the normal season, and this may actually spur them on to stick two fingers up at the RFL and make the super 8's, either way it really won't make any difference come next season.

So it seems Griffin, Lee are back and Vidot is set to make his debut

Good line up that, don't fancy our chances.

We're consistently inconsistent so I expect us to be rubbish on Saturday.

Why are we playing on Saturday by the way?

Giro day.

Don't Sale get priority mind you don't they usually play on a Saturday oh I don't know Sandra

Sale are playing Friday.
