  • RFL launches investigation into Salford fielding reserve squad against St Helens - The probe could result in the Red Devils being charged with a breach of operational rules.

The Rugby Football League (RFL) has initiated an investigation into Salford Red Devils after they fielded a reserve team in their match against St Helens, which resulted in a 48-0 defeat. This decision came after Salford had to play their game just 24 hours following a previous match, leading to concerns about player welfare and the integrity of the competition. The RFL is looking into whether this action breached any competition rules, especially since Salford had already postponed a game earlier in the season due to player shortages. The investigation will consider the implications for the competition's fairness and the welfare of the players involved.
