Salford have been plagued by financial problems during a protracted takeover, leading to the late payment of wages. That in turn has led to a salary cap being imposed by the Rugby Football League (RFL), and an exodus of 11 senior players, severely weakening Rowley’s squad.
Rowley last month accused one player, Sam Stone, of “downing tools” by refusing to play against St Helens, leading to him departing for Warrington Wolves on loan.
The RFL confirmed that they had scheduled a meeting with the club, players and the Rugby League Cares charity on Wednesday.
Rowley added: “That was at the request of the players, they’ve not come in on a white horse. It’s been at the request of the players just for some clarity and some good chat and they’re kindly doing that, so that’s all good. It’s not the gravitas it’s been made out to be.”
