If it is necessary for Salford to offload players, I’d hope we are able to strengthen our squad.
Personally, I’d like to see Sneyd, Cross, Bullock and McDonald come to us, with potential player exchanges as part of the deal.
I do wonder how the RFL are going to facilitate the situation. If it was a financial administrator it would be based on the best deal for the current organisation/creditors. I worry that the RFL might think well if we give Hull Sneyd, we’ll let Rovers have McDonald and Saints someone else…etc.
There is also the fact that whilst some players might want to come to Hull as we are offering an enhanced contract and more security, some players might may want to stay in the NW for personal reasons. However, this is the first time in over 20 years we have had this scenario, so anything could happen.
It’s an awful situation for Salford fans and players to be in, however the ownership/management of the club has been poor for a while now.
Hull are in a fortunate position of now having the funds and a squad that requires strengthening in several areas. With cap/quota dispensations, we have to make our move, as other clubs will only be acting in self-interest.
I hope Salford do pull through this situation. However, whilst I’m not against IMG, questions need to be asked about how Salford got a Grade A rating. The length of a TV gantry and Pixel definitions can not be rated on par with financial stability.
