Nah.He was just careful not to specify which year.Clever these Yorkshire folk.Warrington fans should look and learn.

It would be a very welcome announcement if Whitehead agrees to sign. I know a few supporters who have been getting a little frustrated after so much media speculation linking us with so many players. Some fans I know can't accept having to wait until August before the club reveal who is coming in. They have interpreted this as a potential problem suggesting other clubs are making announcements so why can't we.

Hopefully if this happens it may quieten or appease some of the doubters.

I do love the ridiculous logic from people criticising him for having no ambition if he comes to us. We have to actually sign decent players to attempt to become a top side.

Someone might want to change the thread title as well, as it's misleading at the moment considering he hasn't actually signed.

Bit of a strange one this . Didnt he say he wanted to join a top 4 club ?
That said I really hope it comes off for you guys, its about time some other teams gave the so called big boys a run for there money and who knows FC v Salford 2015 grand final could be on the cards

"Top four" spenders obviously... Good luck guys, hope the Dr delivers all promised..

I may possibly be wrong

but I think the delay may be for the announcement of the gentleman to take over the running of the business side.I don't think it possible to just abandon mult-million pounds projects;there needs to be a timescale for succession planning/show someone the ropes.
I am quite surprised the Bradford press have suggested Carvell has signed for them when he will be playing for Warrington in the play-offs and possibly in the latter stages of the Challenge Cup.But it may be that they no longer have a fixture against Bradford - I ain't looked.
I actually think the RFL should look at the naming of players being transferred because it does seem a bit messy,notwithstanding the players are professional and will *continue to give their best for the club they are leaving.*
* Of course they do *

Hopefully this deal will be concluded pretty quickly. If the Bulls have managed to attract an offer around their 100k asking price then I am quite content to see him leave. Nowhere near 'one of the best 2nd rowers in SL' but if he is willing to knuckle down and work hard then he has the potential to be an England player one day. Great offensively and with good speed, defensively he is weak.

If Koukash is willing to pay the transfer fee and deals professionally then I have few complaints.

Or it could be part of a marketing/publicity strategy to launch the new Red Devil branding, next years replica shirts and 2014 season tickets.

I really like your idea


It would really remind me of a professionally run club.Nah,can't be true.Salford ?
If you are correct I am going to remember you,theredshed.You have really cheered me up.
I do like that idea.

Thanks Marwan.

I wonder if the Doc actually does have eyes and ears on here?

This squad should just fit within the salary cap if you compare it to Warrington.

What's the cut off day/time for a player to be registered and able to play Friday?

Would be a nice fillip at the very least to have him with the Doc in the fans bar pre game but even better out in the starting 13.

Apparently not as an outspoken chairman has indicated [url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/KR-chairman-claims-Paea-privately-admitted/story-19327475-detail/story.html#axzz2Wdc3EF8i?2205777573&redirected=trueHERE[/url

I quite admire Hudgell,even though he is a solicitor,but it does show the player movement(s) long before the season ends.
I don't like it myself.

The things I do for you !

REGISTERING BEFORE MATCHES

C1:2:7 A Club must ensure that for Matches played on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, all documentation (as set out in C1:2:4 above) is received by the Board in the case of Super League Clubs by no later than 2.00 pm on the Thursday of that week.

You need to get out more.

Can you while you have 5 minutes let me know Lord Lucan's address and the true meaning of life.

I await your reply.

Me neither. How many times over the years have you seen Salford players lose focus towards the end of a season? This was simply because players were tapped up and knew they were going to be playing somewhere else the following year.

The situation was even worse with relegation before the franchise system because if you were near the bottom it attracted the vultures from other clubs to tap up your better contracted players. This I suppose has been one of the +'s of the franchise system.

Elliott has signed for Catalans. So dont get excited

Catalans haven't made an offer for one and two they can't match the transfer fee we've offered the Bulls, he'll be signed on at salford tomorrow.

You come across very confident about this. You must be in the know because it's a very bold post to make otherwise. Catalans are a cash rich club and they have lost Louis Anderson for several matches through injury.

Are you sure?

It's what I heard. Something to do with taxation and costing them less to pay players compared to English clubs. I think this is why they have had the money to redevelop the stadium.

Employing people in France is considerably more expensive for an employer than in the UK
Equally, being self employed and operating as a company as I believe many do in the UK also costs more in France.

The french may have no word for entrepreneur (thankyou Mr Bush), but they certainly invented the word bureaucracy!
