There was only Sarsfield wasn't there? I can't recall any others although Haggerty was on loan at a championship club before we loaned him but he was still registered to St Helens. I think there is the occasional talent that can be found in the Championship it's just we are historically poor at unearthing them. I think Andy Coley, Fitzy and Chris Charles were the only exceptions all those years ago.

What does anybody think to Jamie Soward? he's a free agent ..32 but looked class running the show when London beat us in the middle 8's. Says he will come back if a super league club was to come in for his services

..I like Robert Lui .. he looked good early on in the season but he faltered a bit towards the end and had a mare in the MPG when we really needed him ..knocked on a coupe of times...he's been carrying knocks so maybe we can excuse that and he deserves another shot ? Soward could provide a different option for a season or so?..know we have a signed a young prop and hooker but think we need a centre and a top experienced prop as well

There"s a cue apparently for Soward's signature. To be fair to Lui he was playing on one leg since the knee injury at Leigh. I think this showed his commitment to the cause by putting his hand up. Given recovery time I think he'll go well again next year.

Lui is class and must be kept for next season, he was playing 70% fit after his knee injury. I would imagine a lot of the big clubs will be looking at our players, specially the likes of Sau, Murdoch-Masila, O'Brien, Etc. We need to keep hold of most of this current squad and just add 3 or 4 top players. Could we see a marquee player signed this season??

Is Lee already gone?? Josh Griffin will be a huge loss been immense since we signed him, shame we have lost Caton-Brown as well.

Proves what I know. Walker really does seem to be moving on. My guees is that he's Wakey bound because of the Chester connection though.

Robert Lui to Leeds is doing the rounds.

Overall I was happy with last seasons recruitment :-
a mix of proven SL experience - Kopzcak - Josh Jones -Flanaghan .
SL squad players wanting more game time - O'Brien. Joseph.
overseas players that added bulk & aggression - Murdoch Masila - Lui - Carney
opportunity for a step - up for some of our younger squad who contributed - Wood - Bibby- Lannon
and lastly a mix of championship / season loan players to provide cover - Sarsfield haggerty Andrade.

Of the signings I guess Joseph was the only 'head scratcher' , & Vidot had a mare with injury blighting his 1st season
so we Had Vidot - Lee - Johnson - Wood- Hauraki & Carney injured for major parts of the season.

Re Championship signings , I thinks its still a gamble that Watson needs to take - OK only Sarsfield was used, but for the money it's still a good bet it they come good.
I wood except 2 or 3 more , with Brinning being mentioned for some time


unfortunately with Salford being dragged firstly into the qualifiers & finally the relegation decider , most of the squad's players agents will have enquired or set up deals for their charges in case they became free agents or surplus if we fell into the championship.

This will mean a fair few ' rumours ' will continue & possibly may have ' turned the heads ' of a couple of players who may still fancy - 'out '.


Not going to speculate on who may come or go , but will continue to have faith in Watson's judgement , he's seen us through two qualifiers & if not for the points deduction would've given Salford the best league finish since Harrison .
If they want to go - let them go - If they're coming in , give them the opportunity to prove they're worth wearing the scarlet .

Think we will be underwhelmed by any new signings, due to the fact that, we don't have the Sheens pulling power

Losing Sheen's was a massive mistake, from day one should of been Sheens head coach with Watson his assistant. I hope Lui doesn't go Leeds we need to be keeping hold of our players and adding to the squad, Lui 100% is a class act.,

I liked lui. When he destroyed Saints early on in the season showed how class he is fully fit. Good player, terrible bloke, I'm speaking for most Leeds fans, we don't want him and highly doubt we'll get him

Signing for Saints and there are rumours we're getting Tasi back who apparently regretted leaving us. Another one doing the rounds is Mossop from Wigan. As for Tommy Lee, his Salford career was blighted with those long term injuries because when you could get him on the field he did ok. www.totalrl.com/st-helens-set-to ... tommy-lee/

Time will tell on that one.

Very true but when you lose that level of know-how and experiance it's going to impact negatively somewhere down the line. Sheen's was also a player magnet who didn't suffer fools and it will be interesting to see the caliber and value of the signings we make without him. The club now lacks administrative rugby experience and this is now a weak area in my view that needs addressing. I'm not referring to or criticising our young coaching setup, it's a respectable figurehead with a link between the owner/club side and the coaching/playing staff that we need. As an example look at the newly formed team Toronto Wolfpack. They have appointed Rowley as head coach and an old head in Noble as a middle man. If Marwan Koukash thinks he can cut corners I think he's kidding himself.

That's the trouble Koucash dosent think.End of story.

Hull KR prop Adam Walker has now signed for St Helens and strengthen's the rumour about Lama Tasi returning to us.

Rumour over on the Leigh board that Leigh have had a "hands off" issued over an attempt to sign Evalds, anyone know anything ?

Genuine question.

My guess is he was one of a several of our players you were targeting had we lost the MPG. I'm sure the former Salford lads at your club have passed on how much talent he has and the future potential in him. Koukash made a comment on twitter last week saying he isn't going anywhere. Considering the criticism Koukash has faced by not retaining our best academy products over the past 3 years I think he will do everything to ensure he stays, hence the Maserati car.

Adam is from bradford

Luke Burgess signed for Catalan on a two year contract. Added some size to our pack in the 8's but I can't say I'm overly disappointed with this news. I think I'd prefer Tasi who is 7 years younger and has something to prove after a very disappointing year at Saints. Let's hope Morley and Carvell"s experiance can help him reach the potential St Helens saw in him. I think Lama made a lot friends at Salford and that should help him.

Hasn't Carvell gone with Sheens to KR

I've no idea when was this announced?

I am told both Adrian Morley & Carvell among others will be going!
