The RFL has rejected salary cap changes for Salford Red Devils but hinted at future proposals to help the club.
During a recent meeting, clubs voted against letting Salford players be signed without salary cap limits. This was due to worries about finances. Now, Salford is facing a tough situation. They might have to sell players to stay afloat.
Only certain clubs can negotiate with Salford right now. Teams like Castleford, Huddersfield, and Hull FC are in a position to make moves. Salford actually supported the proposals but ran out of time to find new investments.
This means they have no choice but to let players go. Clubs like Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos were eyeing some Salford players, but their hopes are on hold for now. The RFL did say they might consider other options later on.
In their statement, the RFL mentioned that they updated clubs about Salford’s situation. They looked at several options but haven’t made any changes yet. However, they’re keeping the door open for future proposals.
