Really? Any proof of that, or just a good "story"?

I don't do stories......the statistics point to away teams from outside of the heartlands getting less penalties in the championship. London got beaten last week with a 10-2 penalty count against them....10 to frigging 2? One of the 2 we got was for a head high that warranted the bin according to the ref....it was a straight red every day but the definition of "head high" seems to differ from county to county too............and country. Catalans get the short straw in SL.

BTW, Leigh had an appalling record in the disciplinary this year....no matter who they sign or what they spend, if they try to bully their way to the top again they'll come unstuck again!

Chase will be over 100K, left Cas to a payrise at Salford, won't have taken a paycut to sign for Leigh, same with Hansen. Patterson will be close to 100k, so maybe nearer 400k, that's still 40% of the cap on 4 players.

Chase was on £220k at Salford.

No doubt the new players will improve Leigh but for the 23 matches of the regular season they will be an expensive luxury playing low intensity matches. They may lead to an increase in attendances and other revenue streams. It will be interesting to see if they are able to lift their game in the Qualifiers when they should add value.

Wow. Over 25% of the cap on 2 players probably shows at least part of Salfords problems.

Correct.

What makes it even more stupid is that you spend that money on two players that are prize bell-ends off the field. Was never going to end well...

I think with Sheens taking the reins the squad Salford will have next season will have a completely different make-up, cohesion, and direction.

So are Salford paying some of Chase's wages at Leigh, or are Leigh just going to break the cap as promised?

or a third option, is Chase taking a cut?

How long was his deal and would anyone take such a massive cut to play Championship RL when you could sit it out at Salford. Some deal has been done, hope it's all kosher and the relevant salary caps adjusted.
