Special mention should be made of Salford's hardcore fans - the real victims of this ongoing farce. Knowing that they were on a hiding to nothing; they travelled to Saints and took said hiding whilst supporting their colts throughout the rout and beyond.
Mr Integrity should (but won't) hang his head in shame.
The begging bowl went out in December and was duly filled but with strings attached. Since then Agincourtian bow fingers have been waved at the RFL, fellow SL teams and now broadcasters - the paymasters. THROW THE BOOK AT 'EM!
But what good would that do? What's still left in the book?
Points deduction? It would seem after today that Salford (barring again their hardcore support) don't value points.
Relegation? Is it still in the RFL's arsenal after IMG were called in?
Massive fine? What is the biggest allowed under our existing rules? If it is relatively paltry, hit them again and again until they toe the line. Maybe their new backers will start to get cold feet - if indeed they pass the fit and proper test!
After a great first few games of the new season (three really tight ones and an upset in Perpignan), tonight's debacle is what will stick in the collective mind!
