Salford deduced two points from the League for breaking the rules of RFL in the match Saint-Hélens | Rugby League news

Salford Red Devils was deducted from two points from Betfred Super League for breaking a certain number of RFL operational rules in their team selection for the first round match in St Helens on February 15.
The Red Devils seem almost some to be demolished from the elite next month because of their continuous financial problems, focusing on an adjourned liquidation order and in what form the 151 -year -old club could continue to exist.
Protests of fans and frequent songs against the club's elusive owners provided the majority of the story when the action on the ground was very secondary to the implications As they were beaten 52-16 Friday by Wakefield at the playoffs in the middle of an acrimonious atmosphere at the Salford Community Stadium.
The total of Salford's final points in the super League table is reduced from six to four following the RFL punishment, but that does not affect their final position of 12th and bottom of the ranking.
In a statement by Rugby Football League (RFL), Salford management accepted that the team chosen for the match in St Helens was much lower than it should be and several first team players announced as unable to play in the match were in fact available to be selected. The club accepted that this offense deserved a deduction of points.
Salford was also sentenced to a fine of £ 5,000, half suspended until 2029.
The decisions concerning the cancellation of the match against Wakefield and the lance invasion of Friday evening are still to come.
