Where exactly has Salford tried to keep the game going, I'm sure you've noticed but I'll remind you just in case, Wakefield has suffered as much as anybody and more in most cases than other clubs regarding having players unavailable, this has resulted in the club having to bring in players they would not necessarily have needed, that is trying to keep the game going and also bringing youngsters into the team which because of Salford's lack of a youth policy they cannot do, but there is a loan system available with plenty of championship players available, they've simply taken the easy option which I doubt would have been the case had relegation been on the table.
Salford brought in two players from the championship in Gilmore and Ashall-Bott, plus recalled guys who were out on season long loans and not budgeted for like Chamberlain. They only restarted their academy this year, so most lads are nowhere near ready, they just haven’t played. Despite that a couple have appeared in the first team. When the loan window shut they had plenty of players but a major run of injuries and covid has left them short of a team. They played on Monday with two players going into the game with broken ribs and one suffering with a bad sickness bug and picked up two or three more injuries. They now have 19 players unavailable.
I’d say they’ve done their best to keep the game going.
