    An investigation's been launched after Salford's decision to field a reserve squad in their record English Super League defeat to St Helens

    An investigation's been launched after Salford's decision to field a reserve squad in their record English Super League defeat to St Helens


    The 82-nil romp was the biggest winning margin in competition history.

    It came after salary cap restrictions saw the Red Devils denied the use of a number of senior players - but other experienced squad members were available and not selected.

    Rugby Football League officials say they've opened an investigation to determine whether Salford have brought the sport into disrepute.

    Competition rules require each club "has at all times a squad sufficient to meet its obligations in all competitions".
