Carty said Westerman is 12 to 18 months away from being SL ready, so he should only play he we arr really short.Briscoe had a good game, and we also have Litten to come back in and Rapana to slot in there is Cartwright thinks Moy is right to play FB.

Has Harvey Livett got a club yet, if not and he has been keeping fit, I'd offer him a 4 week trial, see how he goes.

[quote="Dave K.":2zzihf71]Has Harvey Livett got a club yet, if not and he has been keeping fit, I'd offer him a 4 week trial, see how he goes.[/quote:2zzihf71] Don't think so, there's also Luis Johnson and Sam Royle who are both without a club I believe, unsure if there's any decent prospects in the championship either who could step up to SL.

Not sure about Johnson, been at a few clubs and not impressed. Royle could be worth a look, again on a short term contract to cover the backrow. None would sent the cap too much and give us some cover with potentially 3 out.

Livett always reminds me of Beaker from the Muppets.

The club are lining up a couple of players we've been offered a few but turned them down, I'm glad the club are not panicking into signing anyone.

Matty Lees is a name I've heard a few times now that we have enquired about. I would be shocked if he A) left Saints and B) chose us over a Lancashire or NRL side.

We would probably need to offer him marquee salary to get him here. I'm not sure a prop on a huge salary is our priority. I think Halfback, backrow and maybe a centre is a bigger priority.

Wonder how long Dodd will stick it out in aus if it continues him not getting picked .

[quote="Windy winger":1qrwu3wf]Wonder how long Dodd will stick it out in aus if it continues him not getting picked .[/quote:1qrwu3wf] Dodd like Richardson looked great in a dominant St. Helens team that was beating everyone. Both looked world beaters when they broke into the Saints team but faded very quickly and once removed from the St. Helens set-up look decidedly average. Dodd has at least managed to get a gig in the NRL, but I`ll be surprised if he doesn`t return to the UK and follow Richardson`s career path. Better for FC to be patient with their own youngsters and wait for them to be ready, rather than splashing the cash on the likes of Dodd.

Two year contract extension for Harvey Barron. That's good news, he's come on well in the last year.

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":cldgnzfz]Two year contract extension for Harvey Barron. That's good news, he's come on well in the last year.[/quote:cldgnzfz] Good news, pleased for him. He’s come on a long way since he first broke onto the scene and had a couple of tough games

Great news

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":11sowwmy]Two year contract extension for Harvey Barron. That's good news, he's come on well in the last year.[/quote:11sowwmy] Good news and well deserved as he's our most improved player. Also shows the youth system Pearson invested in a few years ago is working.

[quote="UllFC":26jwh441]Good news and well deserved as he's our most improved player. Also shows the youth system Pearson invested in a few years ago is working.[/quote:26jwh441] Announced at 4.30pm which is a bit unusual. Maybe some more news at 6.

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":1szby4yk]Two year contract extension for Harvey Barron. That's good news, he's come on well in the last year.[/quote:1szby4yk] Great news for both Barron and the Club. As has been said he’s had a difficult baptism like most of the young lads that broke through over the last couple of years but has shown great resilience and the willingness to work hard to improve.

Very good news , I'm a little surprised its only 2 years and not 3 as he is still only young .

Hope Salford can resolve with the RFL and avoid another terrible situation like last week.

Jacobsen group look to have pulled out of the deal?[/quote:rij3wuem] I’m not an expert on these things maybe it’s completely normal but for me it always looked a bit dodgy having a Swiss banker with no media footprint as the frontman of the consortium, i’d have felt dodgy about it if it was us. Now they’re saying it’s friends of Kristnan Inu who’ve bought the club? I suppose it does say that though that the request was tabled on the 11th (last Tuesday) and they were still pretty adamant all through the weekend that it was all done and dusted so maybe it’s not as bad as it looks and possibly just a reshuffle of shareholders or whatever. I don’t believe it’s the just the normal RFL incompetence that’s holding this up though something can’t be fully right with it all.
