RUGBY league chiefs headed to Salford yesterday for crisis talks aimed at ensuring that Friday night's Super League game at Leeds can go ahead as planned.

A number of senior Salford players have threatened to pull out of the fixture amid renewed uncertainty surrounding the club's financial position.

That has prompted RFL officials, led by chief executive Tony Sutton, to call a summit meeting involving all parties at the Salford Community Stadium in a bid to reach a settlement that will minimise the impact on the integrity of the competition.
