I must disagree about the journalist reporting the information at a time when there is very little rugby league news about the future.
It gives information to the supporters of two Super League clubs.
It also gives information to Salford supporters with plenty of time for the club to reassure their followers about what has gone and inform them that the end of the world is not nigh.They are still in existence and just another hurdle for the club to get over.
It may encourage their followers to put more finance into the club at a crucial time.
It is much better than being kept in the dark - and perhaps not able to help until it is too late.
I like the idea of supporters being kept in the loop.
With Castleford conducting themselves in the professional manner that they should the Salford fans may have been kept in the dark until September time.
I dont think that you could be any more wrong.
Regardless of lack of news, this story has been put out at the wrong time by the wrong people (ie, not by the clubs involved), yes, Salford have now said Evalds is leaving but, only after the story was leaked out.
Evalds leaving, far from encouraging investment, is more likely to make others follow him to the exit and reduce outside investment, as potential investors may believe that the writing is on the wall.
Yes, it's great for supporters to be kept "in the loop" but, there is a time and a place for all announcements, which either limit damage or, maximise exposure - this is more likely to cause damage.
Castleford dont appear to have done too much wrong here but, there is some "karma", with the goings on in the past
