The Salford Red Devils are enduring a nightmare season in the Super League, with their performances sparking debates over whether they are the worst team in the competition's history.
With a string of heavy defeats and a points difference that makes grim reading, the Red Devils are in danger of setting an unwanted record. Fans and pundits alike are questioning how a once-proud club has fallen so far.
What's Gone Wrong for Salford?
Analysts point to a combination of poor recruitment, financial instability, and a lack of leadership on and off the pitch. The club's struggles have been compounded by injuries to key players and a failure to adapt tactically.
Former players have expressed their dismay at the current state of affairs, with one ex-captain describing the situation as "heartbreaking."
Can They Turn It Around?
While relegation isn't a concern in Super League's current structure, the damage to the club's reputation could be long-lasting. The board faces mounting pressure to make significant changes before the rot sets in permanently.
With some tough fixtures ahead, the Red Devils might need to brace themselves for more pain before any potential recovery can begin.
