Seems as though Salford have been in touch as to acquiring the two but have been told no chance.

Salford also entering a CVA and paying up all monies owed. There is some brass in RL after all.

According to Radio Manchester the CVA will be to pay off creditors in 5 years!. Maybe the new multi-millionaire owner is not quite as benelovent as some thought.

Strange how the players he is targetting are all out-of-reach (Chase, Morley) ? Maybe trying to get the Salford fans onboard before the inevitable name change ?

Next quote from the Dr "We have approached Melbourne Storm about the availability of Cameron Smith but he wasn't ready to play SL just yet."

Why would he need or want to pay all of it up front if e doesn't have to?? If the creditors are happy with that (which they would have to be for it to be approved) then what difference does it make? Man City pay £25m for a player but pay it over a long period of time, not up front & I'm guessing you don't think they are short of a bob or two!!

Like Jamke Emmit and Daryll Griffin? They also signed up some guys from austrailia.

They must be near the salary cap surely ?

You must be joking. We've probably only got two or three players even on anything remotely like a good wage. The rest are kids. The players coming in will be filling the cap up but it'll be a long way until we're at full cap.

I'm sure they could get Emmit on loan for a bit, at least, if he's not getting any first team action. Better to be getting SL game time in an enviroment where players are being relied upon to step up.

He'd also get to join up with his former Saints forward chums Dixon and Ashurst.

And so they should be, we have only played three games, & some one comes in for a player who wont get a work permit for a English club, bar the club he is at.

If he wants to bolster his squad he should be looking in the Championship for some one wanting another chance, if he wants a decent prop he could get Jackson, for a song, or maybe Jones, i dont thing even Cas would sell their best player, three games into a new season

We also have a very small squad. Even though some players like Mason, Emmitt and Fleming have'nt had much or no game time doesn't mean they are out of favour. I don't think we are in a position to let anyone leave at the moment.

Salford now trying to sich Sam Tomkins:- www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... 07/8523324

wow.

Certainly trying to ruffle a few feathers. Morley, Chase and now Tomkins. Serious of just mischief making ?

More like making a statement of no-intent. They get to look ambitious in the knowledge they'll be knocked back and not actually have to splash the cash.

He's just making himself look silly, who next? Audacious bids for Slater, Cronk & Smith?

He's just having a laugh now ...


... or to put it another way, he's making sure that when Salford fail to grab a big name signing he can say "it's not my fault: look how hard I tried".

Looks like Dr Kukash has learnt form the Adam Pearson school of squad building.

Ah, the Adam Pearson signing policy!

I understand a cash offer was made to Wigan for Tomkins for 440K and was turned down. The offer for Chase didn't even get to the money stage.

they would get more from union for him
