Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

As a Saints fan, I will happily take the win and the points difference as opposed to a full strength Salford who have been a real pain over the last few years with Sneyd kicking us to death. Will be disappointing if what @Cerrertonia says is true, and not sure why if so, Salford would throw a game that was very winnable for them.

They've been spending far more money than they had coming in for some years, have had to be bailed out by the RFL and as a result are currently restricted to a salary cap of £1.2million, until they can show they're operating sustainably. Instead of doing that, Paul Rowley decided to pick the club's academy side (which I imagine counted for less than £0.2 million on the salary cap) in a rather pathetic attempt at a protest and to not name a full 17, in spite of the fact that he had players from other clubs on loan.

Kudos to the Salford fans who went to the game anyway though.

Got something to say?

As suggested on the blog of the esteemed @kev-eats-owt this is a place to discuss all things relating to rugby league. The Superleague season kicks off this weekend, the NRL in early March and hopefully we have a world cup to look forward to in the Autumn.
