Here's a response from me you crave for, If I wasn't getting  paid I'd go somewhere where I would to keep the bailiffs away,  never having been involved with bailiffs you have me at a loss maybe you've had experience with them with you unnecessary mention of them, as much as I have sympathy for the two players that you mention and sound as your acting as an agent for, there are families far worse of in this country than those not on decent money with no chance of any savings and probably can't even spell the word mortgage or aren't they high enough on your list? btw I never mentioned anything about the beleaguered staff just Watkins, What I did say was and it's there for you to read again now you've done your grandstanding is that I don't have any understanding on the financial situation at Salford and I personally don't think he's good enough for our club, and just to keep the post on a rugby footing I'm ever so glad you managed to scrape a lucky win at home to Leeds keeps the locals happy from further embarrassment.

I never said I would be happy. I wouldn’t be, but I would do what was expected of me in my role to at least the minimum whilst looking for another job. 

If I were to sit at home despite receiving payment albeit late and deprive my talent then I would also be in breach of contract too I would expect. 


If the intention is to deprive the business of my talents then I would leave and give notice or find a resolution with my current employer either with the union or of my own accord. 


How long would you say he should withhold his talent for from the club that’s paying him.


1 week? A month? A year? 

I suspect it will continue most of the season. Even if Salford manage to get back to having a competitive team it would only diminish the comp integrity further with the scores run up by a few clubs. 

People are forming view without any facts.  Did the club looking at these players say "If you get injured the deal is off".  Much as we as fans look at it a certain way Callum Watkins has to focus on his family and what is right for them.  He may have the principle that he doesn't want to play for a club whose owners seem to be shafting them at every turn.  Mentally this must be terrible so do not just judge him.  


If he signs for Leeds, us or whoever it doesn't matter.  He has always struck me as an honest man and if you look back previously has struggled with mental health issues so come on give the bloke a break.

Quote isn't working for me so I'm replying to Trojan.

1) Didn't say you were happy, I asked if you would be. Clearly no one would be happy at not getting paid on time.


2) it all depends what the contract says of course but I imagine it says when they'll be paid. So they are in breach of contract. What you do after that is fairly moot but I'm sure there is a correct procedure.In relation to your comment, I'd say this is his way of saying he wants to leave.


3) Salford are in special measures. They can't play their whole team. They have to choose a team that fits the criteria. So they have other options.


4) Given everyone knows the situation I can't imagine it will affect any future recruitment for him. Except maybe the contract terms as they know it is a buyers market.


5) in my opinion, based on what I know, which is only through the media, the only people at fault are the Salfird management team.


And I don't think he's saying you don't have morals.

or more correctly... If you don't like my morals!... I have others!
