So what are you suggesting? , would whoever didnt play SL opposition be playing for points?



If not then how could it work?

So instead of jumping to conclusions now you dare to ask questions before you jump to stupid conclusions! Thankyou sir, for your patience in this matter.



Heaven forbid anyone inquire the time in your presence. You would surely reply "So you plan on setting off a bomb and you dare ask me for the time!?" Wait until you have even the smallest fragment of truth before you take it to the absurd.



I'm suggesting that like it or not we may be forced to be short of a Super League club in 2012 and therefore when the magic weekend comes around, we would in that case be short of a club to even things up. These are facts. It might not happen but Salford are not fulfilling fixtures as it stands so it very well could.



This means one club, namely, my own, will find themselves out of an opponent for one of the biggest days of the year. This, again, is a distinct possibility at this stage. Therefore, I came up with the idea that they play a friendly representative game rather than be put in the distinct disadvantage of not having a game at all.



A friendly. I am not sure you have heard of them but they work without points.



It's not an ideal situation to find ourselves in but that's the point isn't it?



So no, there will be no points up for grabs. Where you got that idea from is beyond me as I never implied it. And you've repeated it twice now even though I clarified in my last post that this would not be the case.

So you are suggesting that a SL club would play a season with 2 less points available to it than the rest of the clubs?="Chris

No. Like I said in the earlier post of mine, there would obviously be a bye round.

Do the maths, it doesnt work

It doesnt work for each team to have a round where instead of playing salford they play nobody?



Seems to work elsewhere!

Not in this context it doesn't.

No it doesnt, odd number of teams and odd number of games doesnt work, do the maths

10 minutes Chris, have you sussed the flaw in your cunning plan yet?

It is late to be fair...

No they didn’t.



After the initial loan, which Bradford failed to pay back a penny piece, they then gave them some more cash & took the lease off Bradford’s hands.



The biggest conundrum is why are Bradford receiving less Sky monies for the next two years?



I would hazard a guess that in two years time Bradford will hold the lease once again & the other clubs have received a bonus payment for their complicity.



You’re right, the two situations are very different, Bradford had a tangible asset to bargain with, and Salford have got sod all.

Bradford's then owners were quoted as saying that the RFL had basically taken back the cash they'd been given for the lease, as repayment for the loan they never paid back. I don't have full details but it sounds like one at least of the sums advanced was taken away prior to administration.





Isn't this repayment for the SL monies advanced to pay wages?





I guess we'll see, but I don't think that's what the deduction of Sky monies is for.





We're also at two different parts of the season.
