Chris71: number 6: weaver93: Sneyd off to Warrington.. https://www.alloutrugbyleague.co.uk/news/warrington-wolves-salford-marc-sneyd-1028674 yet go over to Wires' board and they are wanting forwards as they claim to be weak up front, another club signing a player in a position not needed? Would seem then that Salford are still up zcreek without a paddle despite all their insistence that a take over has been completed and money is there, otherwise why sell you best asset at the club? Perhaps he was one of the ones behind the refusals to play and they've got shut, either way the saga of Salford continues. Wonder if we or any other club with available cap and/or quota space will test further Salfords resolve for any other players, following the sale of Sneyd?  You'd think we'd have another nibble at them , Seeing Sneyd leave must be disheartening for the other players .

It’s certainly not what you can call a positive statement is it, just reaffirms what we’ve all being saying that Salford have just being using smoke and mirrors to buy time. 

It doesn’t bode well when the group of the apparent take over can’t produce the funds. 


As has been said £75k won’t go far at all and isn’t likely to cover a months wages for players and staff, even with Sneyd off the payroll. 

For Salford the situation seems to be spiralling out of control. If anything, after a brief respite when it seemed they were over the worse, they would now appear to be in an even bigger mess than they were a month ago, before the Saints debacle. It now has all the hallmarks of ending very messily and it's difficult not to feel for the Salford supporters watching their club slowly disappear down the plug hole.


For the game as a whole it is a bad image causing, as Chris says, damage to the integrity of the competition. A club who, to some degree, are one of the game's historic outfits are slowly unravelling before our eyes.


Watching all of this unfold I cannot help but think 'there, but for the grace of God, go we'. Have a feeling twelve months ago we sailed far too close to this scenario for any of us to be too comfortable. We were rescued from the brink of oblivion last year, this could so very easily have been us staring down the barrel of nowhere, I thank god (or Thirkill and Hood in this case!!) it is not ourselves going through this tortuous process of survival.

reminds me when we had been taken over by David Lloyd, ok, he put money into start, but soon turned sour and we all know what happened in the months after not putting any money in, read on social media that the new Salford owners only bought the club as they wanted to build on the land around the ground, council refused (sounds familiar), so they are with holding funds for the club....once again its the players/staff and supporters that suffer, the RFL need to take some accountability too as they ok'd the sale!

If happily sign Cross, think he is a better option than Briscoe short and long term. Add some pace to the backline.


Don't see many better options for next season without a quota spot, makes us stronger this season too.


Think we can all see now the way Sezer plays, Sneyd would have been a mistake to resign. Good signing for Warrington though.


Looks an absolute diaster at Sakford, best thing could do if reset, play in the championship for a year or two and rebuild like Rovers and Wakey did.

Also no one knows what and if that meeting happened.


At the time it looked like Salford where going to be ok, he is under contract, so he could have been rightly told by Salford he wasn't allowed to go.
