pirate Salford are borrowing money just to pay wages and only have players as assets. The interest rates without a mortgagable asset means high rates. They don’t have many, if any players to sell after dupree, croft and ackers went. The council gave them money to pay wages aswell. They have had supporters lend/give them money to survive also. Salford, like castleford, have people with short pockets. Their business plan relies on others bailing them out on wages day.
Leigh would have been 13th in the IMG table if they’d have processed the Cas error when they processed the rfl error. They are bring bullish about being in when maybe they should be bricking it.
Interestingly London are putting forward a case plan to stay in the top flight. Since the rfl have stated next year is a 12 team competition, that would ruffle a few feathers if they even considered it.
