Carl Webb yes please, always been one of my favourite NRL props and would compliment Cashmere wonderfully, Quinn is a class winger (though to be fair didn't think a winger was high on our shopping list).

Think we should bring back David Gower and then we can have my favourite Cricketer and Actor in the same team, now feel inspired to go watch my favourite film The Guns of Navarone again.

Quin is apparently coming to Super League and I'd be happy if it was to us. I think we do need a winger/centre to replace Talau (depending on where Gibson plays).
I'd be happy with Webb but I think we need a prop who can bring some genuine impact off the bench.
David Gower has gone to St George Dragons from Wests so we won't be getting him back.

With Tyrer returning from loan and McGilvary being injury prone I'd say sell McGilvary and get a new winger, saying that I think we need a centre and a prop a lot more.

Also heard chris Nero has signed

FFS, him and Anderson are like going backwards ...

Why? Surely Nero will be better for us than Talau? and Anderson has to be better than say Sibbitt's been in last couple of years? Can't see how this is going backwards? Would Sibbitt get in Warrington's 17 every week? I admit I don't expect them to set the Willows on fire but they will be better than what we have got now. You have to be realistic, we are not going to attract top international players in their prime or up and coming stars from any other Superleague clubs are we? Maybe we will have a bit more pulling power when we get in the new stadium with hopefully bigger crowds, but right now I'd imagine it's a very hard sell however big the offer!

Maybe Nero's not but Anderson, I mean I wouldn't say hes much better than what we currently have and his wages will be quite a bit, I'm just saying we could probably get better than Anderson for what he'll be worth and Nero well I'd rather have him than Talau yes.

I'd say Anderson would be an improvement on Sibbit, Parker and Littler (depending on how much effort he's willing to put in). By the way Quins fans think he's a cert for them next year. Strange how things change in a week, one minute looking good and feeling optimistic, next we're back to doom and gloom.

I have to disagree strongly because if you look at Anderson's stats he averages over 7 meters per carry. Compare that to all 12 current Salford forwards and he blows them out of the water. The closest to him is Rob Parker who has averaged 6.5 Metres. This is one of our problems we don't have enough go forward, three of our current back row are actually adapted centres. Further to this Anderson also puts in an average of 20 tackles a game despite being spelled for long periods.

Average Meters Per Carry Stats 2010: Alker 4.6 Mts - Sibbitt 5.3 Mts - Littler 5.5 Mts - Adamson 5.3 Mts - Swain 5.4 Mts - Cashmere 6 Mts - Leuluai 6.3 Mts - Jewitt 5.5 Mts - Boyle 5.9 Mts - Sidlow 6.3 Mts - Neal 5.9 Mts.

Compare this to Wigan and you'll see why they are top and we are where we are: Paleaaesina 8 Mts - Tomkins 6.3 Mts - Fielden 7 Mts - Coley 6.7 Mts - Hansen 6.9 Mts - Prescott 6.9 Mts - Riddell 5.7 Mts - Farrell 7.3 Mts - Mcllorum 5.9 Mts - Bailey 6.6 Mts - Mossop 7.1 Mts - O'Laughlin 5.4 Mts

I think it's very conclusive that Anderson could be a good signing for us, just for you info Adrian Morley averages 7.98 metres and Jamie Peacock does 7.5 per carry.

According to the MEN we are Fighting with Bradford for Paleaaesina, which I think would be a bad move for us, if Cashmere is penalised for trying to play the ball, Paleaaesina in a Salford shirt would be penalised each time he ran into the tackle.

I think Paleasina would be a terrible move - he's only ever on the park for 10 minutes, and if Wigan couldn't get him fit what hope is there for us doing it? Even with a it more investment we're likely to have a pretty small squad - get a couple of injuries in the forwards and with one only able to play very limited spells it is a nightmare

Notice his agent is Endacott & Peter Brown , I wouldn't offer a half sucked Polo Mint to Peter Brown on principle .. [size=50Idle Bast*rd had a stinker and lost us the Lancashire Cup Final [/size

So we're after Feka Palea'asina, Chris Nero, Carl Webb, Vinnie Anderson, Stephen Wild & Sean Gleeson (and we've got Patten of course) when did we turn into Man City?

His goal kicking that day lost us that effin game!

Is this the Peter Brown that after constantly attempting to kick off with various Salford players got leathered in the last minute of the 1991 Div 1 Premiership Cup Final?

Not only that he replaced David Major who played a blinder at Prop in the Semi and took over goal kicking from Peter Williams ....

Yes he was was THAT Halifax player [i( You must Buy the Video ! )[/i who took exception to either Dean or Kerry or both ..

Oooh. I have the video. Always worth a watch once in a while. I seem to remember Steve Kerry getting so annoyed with the shenanigans going on in the scrum that he kicked out and nearly caught the Fax prop (perhaps Brendan Hill) square on the chin.

Despite the fact that Peter Brown was clearly crackers, the fight he basically started in the last minute was immense. Ha, and the commentator who was so parochial in Salford's favour getting giddy when it was going off, describing Brown as a "disgrace that wants banning from the game" before carrying on to chant "Salford - Salford..."

LOVE IT!

and I know the background to Brown and Mick Dean's tittle tattle

Aaaaand you're going to leave that story just there right? Talk about dangling carrots Pev.

Yep Mick was a mate of mine a few years back.

But not now though. Come on Pev. Dish the dirt. We won't tell anyone.

I thought that Palesena was meant to be signing for Saints? Would be a dire move, Carl Webb would be a better move, korki would be a better move, hell get Dai Young rumbling forward again and that would be a better move.

Not to sure on Gleeson from Wakey, not really seen enough of him to say yeh or ney.

Double signing to be announced in the morning.

No mate, they'd never sign him have nor do they really need him. They've got JoshPerry James Graham, Bryn Hargreaves, Tony Puletua, Jake Emmitt & Gary Frodsham already. I did hear he was linked with Hull KR, Bradford and us.


I'm haven't seen much of him this season but from what I've seen in the past, he a pretty useful centre, I'd be very surprised if we got him, although those stories about Ratchford heading to Belle Vue won't go away, and I know we signed Patten but on the Wakey board someone reckons we've signed Balymire?

For us ?
