Breaking: Wakefield confirm Salford move to take Paul McShane on loan could not be agreed - Wakefield wanted Theo Fages on loan

What were they seriously expecting?

We have one HB currently and they wanted him in return?

What were Salford seriously expecting Wakefield to say?

Worth a punt I guess!

McShane has always played well against us so I'd be more than happy with that and he would definitely strengthen our hooker options. Not sure there's anyone else we could tempt Wakey with tbh,..... maybe Tasi with him leaving at the end of the season

I like Tasi but think we've got more cover in the front row and we're crying out for a decent hooker. McShane and Hood would be a far more solid combo at 9.

McShane ( 25 ) signed a 2 year deal in 2013 so I guess he's coming up to negotiation for his next club in 2016, with the Clubs pledge to look in the UK for future squad building he'd be on short odds for 2016.

He's always played well against us whether at Leeds or Wakey .

I've bumped into him more than once in the West stand at recent games -
no harm in trying , after all we lent Tim Smith back to them last season ..

You'll have to look sharp, according to the rumour mill both Hull clubs' are after him.
