Super League clubs have voted AGAINST granting each other exemptions to the salary cap and the overseas quota to sign players from Salford Red Devils, Love Rugby League has been told.

Given the ongoing crisis at Salford, the clubs gathered on Tuesday to decide whether or not to modify the restrictions governing the salary cap and quotas.

Many clubs around the competition have expressed interest in signing Red Devils players if the club needs to sell some of its major assets to obtain finances. However, they remain hopeful that further investment will prevent this situation from occurring.

Love Rugby League reports that certain clubs will be unable to conduct business due to the current situation.

The clubs voted against implementing adjustments that would have made transactions more easier. Only a few clubs will be able to do business with the Red Devils if they opt to sell, given how many are already full on both the cap, the quota, or both.

As it stands, only three clubs, Huddersfield, Leigh, and Wakefield, have spots on their overseas quota for the 2025 season.

Some clubs, such as Hull FC and Castleford Tigers, have salary cap space to make transfers happen, but they can only do so with domestic, non-quota players.

The scenario for the Red Devils, who were said to have voted in favor to relieve their own load, remains unclear.

A release from RL Commercial read: “Clubs were updated on the position at Salford following the conditions placed on the advance in their central distribution in December, and a number of options were considered – at this stage no changes have been made to salary cap regulations, but further proposals may be considered.”
