Salford Red Devils: Jon Wilkin Slam Super League Club for ‘unpleasant’ game with a ‘irresponsible’ select of the detachment | Rugby league news
Sky Sports Rugby LeagueJon Wilkin marked Salford’s “irresponsible” selection of the “unpleasant” detachment after St Helens dropped them 82-0 last week.
Rugbi Football League (RFL) has launched an investigation into the club’s decision to make a spare detail in their record defeat.
The investigation could result in Salford accused of violating operational rules, which, if proven, would expose the club a series of potential sanctions.
“It’s a mess,” Wilkin said Sky Sports News.
“To give people some context, Salford had several problems with financial course. They were set up in special measures, fans threw them out with the audience, requested £ 500,000 pounds of money due to financial problems.
“Simply put, Salford has been living out of his funds for some time. This inserted them into a position in which RFL remained under no choice, except to put a sustainability limit on them. Basically (you have been said) ‘If you don’t throw out costs valuable £ 8,000, you’ll start decay ‘.
“Not only did they do this, but they will impose restrictions on the limit, so they can only spend £ 1.2 million on the field. Salford knows about it for some time. This is not a surprise for Salford.”
Wilkin: Like you have Ferrari without insurance
Due to the limit of the salary, the red devils were denied the use of numerous older players for the match, but the head coach Paul Rowley still decided not to launch other, more experienced members of the composition that were available.
The Saints 15-TRY ROMP was the biggest victory in the history of the Super League and pulled off the criticism of the rival, including the lead coach Warrington Sam Burgesa, that he threatened the integrity of the competition.
Salford Boss Rowley said after the defeat of Saints that they had told him he could not use any players who played against the hurricane Midlands at Challenge Cup and that he decided not to appoint a mix of youth and experience.
Wilkin continued, “I’m just interesting that coach Paul Rowley said,” It was like Ferrari couldn’t drive in his garage. “
“My answer to that would be, ‘Paul that is not.’ It’s like you have Ferrari in your garage you can’t get to be secured, you can’t afford to put a gasoline, and you just got a nice Ferrari to say you have a nice car and not the ability to use.
“Each Super League club has a request from a rich ownership to save them from a financial stream position. Twelve months ago, I said they were an alarm bells in Salford because they didn’t have it.
“They took him by the eve of the season and what they tried to do was embarrass the game by going so weak team. It was irresponsible to do it.
“I thought it was a bad look for sports, a bad look for Paula Rowley and a bad view of play.
“In the game it is accepted to rest players. The teams before the big games rest the players. I never knew it was acceptable to happen in the first round, not when the week before Paul threw out a team worth £ 1.2 million on the field. “
Salford wants to confirm the investment
The RFL chiefs met on Monday morning and found that the club could have a case to respond to potential breach of competition rules, which require that each club “has a team enough for players at all times to fulfill their obligations in all competitions.”
Salford announced the completion of the download last week, but it is understood that the details are yet to be finalized enough for RFL to raise current restrictions.
“There is some investment. It’s from abroad and these people are also checked because it is a foreign investor, it takes time,” Wilkin explained.
“It’s not like going to companies, where you can see that Joe Bloggs has 25 years of accounts. As it stands now, money or investment, there is no basis for whether it is valid or not, so I welcome RFL for strong, firmly and consistently and regret Salford’s behavior.
“I think Paul Rowley, who is a man of real decency, will think about it.”
