For Salford the situation seems to be spiralling out of control. If anything, after a brief respite when it seemed they were over the worse, they would now appear to be in an even bigger mess than they were a month ago, before the Saints debacle. It now has all the hallmarks of ending very messily and it's difficult not to feel for the Salford supporters watching their club slowly disappear down the plug hole.
For the game as a whole it is a bad image causing, as Chris says, damage to the integrity of the competition. A club who, to some degree, are one of the game's historic outfits are slowly unravelling before our eyes.
Watching all of this unfold I cannot help but think 'there, but for the grace of God, go we'. Have a feeling twelve months ago we sailed far too close to this scenario for any of us to be too comfortable. We were rescued from the brink of oblivion last year, this could so very easily have been us staring down the barrel of nowhere, I thank god (or Thirkill and Hood in this case!!) it is not ourselves going through this tortuous process of survival.
