Website is likely ran by an agency whereas social media is in house - I used to work for an agency that ran the websites of some pretty big companies and I know that they've been furloughed for a while now
A fair point, Olyy, but the problem with having too many information streams for one organisation - for example FaceBook and/or Twitter and/or TikTok and/or Instagram and/or whatever the latest briefly fashionable social media might be - together with a website is that unless you update them all with news at the same time, especially late breaking news like time and location changes for a match, a fair number of the intended audience will miss the announcements ot get confused.
There is also a sizeable chunk of the overall population, both rugby and wider, who do not "do" social media or who are leaving it because of the amount of rubbish on there (I believe that FB's user base was shrinking, for example, even before the current advertisers' boycott) for whom the website is the main source of information.
As a general observation and not related to out of date player profiles, or indeed Sale or rugby, etc. if a website cannot be updated speedily for whatever reason then they should have a clickable link to their social media stream of choice stating that all late breaking news can be found there. That way, no-one will miss out on the news merely because they don't subscribe to or monitor all social media streams or get confused about which are updated immediately and which are not.
