Steve0: Last week people were moaning the RFL were taking too long with the due diligence checks, this week they're moaning they didn't do proper due diligence texts, as incompetent as the RFL are, they can't win at times.Batchelor is a brilliant signing, just what we need, and a massive upgrade on lane.
TBF think it was mainly Salford as a club and some of their fans complaining about it the time the RFL were taking, think most people feel the RFL probably didn't go tough enough
We know ourselves that the checks take a while when AP sold to AT & DH
Think the only think the RFL are guilty of is not spotting the issue along with IMG whilst doing all the auditing for the Grading etc
As Pete said the timing of Salford announcing the financial situation so soon after the grades were awarded seemed more than a coincidence.
On to the signing of Batchelor, think this is a great signing and hopefully shows the signs that the club with new owners and a well respected Head Coach is back to being an attractive club to sign for
Not taking anything away from Jordan Lane but Batchelor is certainly an upgrade for 2026.
Look forward to more signings of that ilk to come.
Also think its fair to say Myler deserves credit to as the DoR and CEO getting this signing done.
