I get why Rowley has done it, regardless of the reason he gave, he picked that squad as a middle finger to the RFL. But he easily could have picked a competitive squad for saints and he should have done so. The restriction should have been lifted once the take over was completed, I hope they do lift it so we can all just get on with Rugby League as normal.
This has been a poop show for the fans and the Salford players, hopefully the new owners can turn them in to a competitive team year in year out without the circus that surrounds them.

Who in the RFL did the due diligence on Salford`s new "owners" before they were allowed to proceed with purchasing the club???

BOSS HOG: Who in the RFL did the due diligence on Salford`s new "owners" before they were allowed to proceed with purchasing the club??? Reading here - very little due diligence on a "fit and proper persons" test.  “We will look at financial and company information and we will do some relatively straightforward internet searches out there". Basically a quick squint on companies house and a google.  The RFL need to accept responsibility for allowing Salford to compete in SL 2025.  https://www.totalrl.com/rfl-chief-tony-sutton-provides-salford-update-what-constitutes-a-fit-and-proper-owners-test-and-if-the-red-devils-will-compete-in-super-league-2026/
