he did, bet he regrets that now!

General Pattern is the only decent player they've signed.
They'll be battling it out with Quins & Frogs for wooden spoon again next season

And Feka

Thought he (Feka) was going to Bradford?

Nope, confirmed at at Salford.

He's been unlucky wth injuries these last couple of years and I doubt he's had a long enough run of games to show what he can do.

Salford have made a few decent signings now, all they need to do now is get rid of that clueless coach and they might improve next year.

Around the time he rejected a move to us, he was one of the best back rowers in the country. Playing some awesome rugby and unlucky not to gain more rep honours.

He had a better chance of trophies at the Giants so it's not like it's a bad move to reject us is it.

I agree and obviously this move means he knows that Salford have an even better chance to win trophys at than us or Hudderfield.

Indeed. They are cashed up and spending to the nines. We're signing players with removable tibias.

tell you what now, salford have recruited well for next season, plus there will be more to come

A few years back I'd have liked Wild at Saints but he's too old now especially considering we are well stocked for back rowers

What???!!!
Patten, Wild, Vinnie and Feka are brilliant signings for Salford, i can see them doing well next season although Alker will be a BIG loss.

They aren't that good signings.

Whilst they are all improvements, Anderson and Feka are too inconsistent to be judged as great signings.

There good signings for the level that Salford are at. Feka isn't, hes rubbish, but the others they have signed are all pretty good signings for a bottom have SL club.

Anderson couldn't get motivated to play well for Saints or Wire after a length of time, why would he then turn it on for Salford?

I can't comment on Patten, I don't know him

Feka isn't rubbish. He's inconsistant and his defence can be poor but on form he's very dangerous with ball in hand. The only problem for Salford is that he's very much a luxury player and I really don't think that is what Salford need as they don't have enough good props to start with.

I expect Feka to balloon in weight again this year. He couldnt keep it under control in what I believe is the hardest training regime in SL, he has no chance at a club like Salford.

Anderson, as already mentioned, blew hot and cold at Saints - awesome when the weather was nice and we were steamrollering teams, and nowhere to be seen when the going got tough. It will be tough for most of the year at Salford. Anderson is not a player they need to get them out of their current predicament.

They would be much better trying to sign the likes of Flannery and Hargreaves than Fatty and Anderson.

Patten is just Richie Mathers with a bit more pace.

I worry for him.

Think you could be in for a suprise.

He can run, kick, pass and tackle for starters.

IMO Patten will be one of the best fullbacks in Superleague next season.

Salford have made some good signings for next year.

Patten, nero, anderson, feka and leo latu(spelling) will improve them alot.
