A bit unlucky.



I think 4 points would have been more appropriate, but perhaps your Chairman's tweets might have not helped the cause.



2001 - Wakefield Trinity - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2003 - Halifax - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2003 - Hull - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2003 - St Helens - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2006 - Bradford - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2006 - Wigan - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2007 - Bradford - Salary Cap Breach - 2 points

2007 - Wigan - Salary Cap Breach - 4 points

2011 - Wakefield Trinity - Administration - 4 points

2011 - Crusaders - Administration - 4 points

2012 - Bradford - Administration - 6 points

2013 - Salford - Fielding Extra Man - 2 points

2014 - Bradford - Administration - 6 points

You're 3 wins better than us at Cas mate the way we performed against HKR.







On a more serious note what happens now? as some have already said the sensible way forward would be to take the 6 point deduction and crack on. The worst scenario would be the middle eights and I can't see you having any problems coming through them and I doubt if attendances would suffer much.



The problem is Marwan has once again put his foot in it by saying (I think) that he would go to war with the RFL if points are deducted. Does he go ahead and get the club in more trouble or does he back track and lose face?



At least you should get through to the next round of the CC te way we are playing which should help to pay off the fine.

Regardless of what happens on the field, this is going to be a bigger disaster off it.



Koukash has gone off on another rant on twitter blasting the RFL and has retweeted tweets implying the Catalan Dragons are also breaking the salary cap and they should be investigated.



I wonder what potential sponsors and possible corporate hospitality guests make of the club now?

Those 4 points we could/should have picked up against Wigan and Wire looking costly now. We can still make the 8 but would take a massive effort and a level of consistency for the remaining games that we tend to struggle for. 3 wins from the next 4 games is now imperative and let's see where we stand then.

Normally I leave your opinions to one side, SM, as many are less a half-empty pint but a whinge about the glass as well. However, in this case can we not have a bit of reality? There are parts of the tribunal that have gone in our way. We are very capable of winning the "mid-eights" (allowing for injuries). Carney has signed for us (as you said AND I DOUBTED). In my estimation, it could have been a lot worse.



As for potential sponsors (etc.), show them an opportunity to market their goods and services and we could be running a club based on Games of Thrones ethics. I doubt they'll be put off by the chances to make money, save taxes, and build business links. All we have to do is to present those possibilities.

More than deserved 6 point deduction. We actively sought to break the salary cap by executing backhanded agreements which were only brought to light once said agreements weren't paid. After the costs of settling Puletua's tribunal, the associated legal fees and now the £5k fine, 6 point deduction and associated legal fees in preparing a defence I bet Marwan is wishing he paid Puletua's £48k second year instalment as he did with the year one instalment.



It's more frustrating that this current group of players are facing the consequences of poor administration from 2014 on players who weren't worth the contracts they were signed up on.



I'm just glad it's done and we can move on.

Salford will now finish in the bottom 4,A top 8 spot looked achievable,this means the championship clubs looking for promotion probably facing harder opposition.They to also suffering with this decision.

6 points What a joke

You weren't three wins better in the first half of the season, what makes you think you will be in the second half?

Sky sports news are reporting that Salford are to appeal the six point deduction. If they fail would an extra game be added, I think I remember a precedent being set in the past.

Oh poop.



It is worth the risk appealing? Unless he is just appealing the severity of the 6 points?



He is obviously incapable of keeping his rants to himself.

We surely have nothing to lose by appealing. Even reducing the deduction to 4 points would make a huge difference. An even if it were increased due to the appeal were already joint bottom so no worse off.
