Again I asked marwan about Jodie and all he said was he only wants players who want to play for salford and If Jodie can't see what's happening at salford then so be it.

or Wigan, or Hudds, Wire not mentioned actually, may not be Smith's type of player?

Well, he was offered a deal by the club, he decided to look at what other clubs were willing to offer and made a decision to move on for a longer deal than we were willing to offer. It's a short career and he has to do what he thinks is right for him. Gone are the days though, where I worry about players like Jodie moving on because we might not be able to afford anyone equivalent or better and I never thought I'd ever be saying that!!

I told his dad that I wish him well wherever he goes as long as he has a mare when he plays against us in the future.

Broughton would not be a huge miss in my opinion. Yes he has pace but can't defend for toffee. Ship Danny Williams out too please

Jodie has done nothing this year, whether his head has been elsewhere or not but if he wants to leave I wish him luck and thanks for the service.

Koukash definitely confirmed tonight that Rangi Chase has signed for us, amongst others...

He's going Saints.

Also I'm going to defend Danny Williams who I think is a quality player who I've always defended. In my opinion is much stronger and tactical aware but slightly slower version of Jodie. My opinion for the past 2 years has always been Willaims <Jodie.

Jodie has looked all over the place and lacking in focus since rumours of his departure emerged; Williams has looked like that all season.

Jodie still has many flaws to his game but is at least redeemed by blinding pace; Williams just has many flaws to his game.

Broughton > Williams.

If we're to progress next year we'll now need two new wingers. I'm not sure where we'll get them from though.

I was told last night that it's Huddersfield on a 4 year deal?

I would put money on it beening Huddersfield

I heard two weeks ago that Wigan wanted him to replace Richards.

Not needed Briscoe has replaced Pat.

From what I understand, TB is Headingley-bound on a five yr deal

Quote ="Wayward Fan"From what I understand, TB is Headingley-bound on a five yr deal'" From what I have knowledge off Leeds do not want him: Quote Peter Smith ‏@PeteSmithYEP 16 May Leeds Rhinos deny interest in Hull's Tom Briscoe: tinyurl.com/c5vd5bz #YEPleeds @leedsnews @leedsrthinos @hullfcofficial'" An Australian Journalist known as the 'Mole' is very reliable: Quote The Mole ‏@RLW_Mole 14 May In the Mole in @LeagueWeek today - English star Tom Briscoe's proposed move to @Cronulla_Sharks is OFF - @PWilkinsonWIG knows why'" From another perspective, why would Leeds want to sign another Winger? Ryan hall and Ben Jones-Bishop (When fit) will surely keep their places on the Wing for the Rhinos.

I've just been told Huddersfield aswell, by the same person who told me he was going Saints last night.

Think we need to refine out sources

Wilkinson also said not Wigan.

So Broughton has signed for any one of 5 teams

These rumours certainly cover all bases

He's signed for Swinetown so he can play with Warringtons crocks and it classes as missionary work with the less fortunate.

I wish him well if he does go but we are in a situation where we can now afford a line for like or higher quality replacement.

We'll just have to wait and see, but he definitely is not off to Salford.

Would like to see him at the Bulls but I doubt it,we haven't been one of the teams somebody has heard he's signed for

Somebody said on this topic,that Evals could fill in for Broughton when he leaves.It is a good job that person is not the coach,if and when Broughton leaves he will be replaced,but just do not park Evals on the wing,is position is fullback and when he comes into the team that is where he should be playing.

asked marwen about Broughton the other day he said he was going to cas as part
payment for Chase i said 100% he replied 200% (then he gave me a tip for saturday that won at 20-1) top guy.

As someone who is keen,probably more keen than the next person,to know the latest gossip I think it may be best if the information passed,perhaps in confidence or as a favour,is kept from the public domain.
Neither the giver of the information,or the person about whom the information is passed,may want the information viral.
I didn't think the information Ed Farish gave at the last Forever Reds meeting should have been given out.

I express this opinion NOT just because I am always the last to know

but because something may go wrong or more importantly alert someone else to the availability of certain players.

Gazumping is a reality.



PM's may be the best way of passing the information.Mine is always available.Sadly,money cannot be paid for the information.

Point very well made. People will spoil it for themselves and others if those in authority at the club decide to withdraw information due to it being posted on a public forum before any news is made official.

I'm sure those at the club just want to give supporters some private positive news to enthuse them. They probably don't expect that some people are naive enough (in the kindest sense) to post it on here for the world of rugby league to view.

How is it part payment Jodie out of contract so could sign for whoever he wanted
