Andrew Dixon is rumoured to have signed for Salford for next season. Another second rower, but a much better prospect than Matty Ashurst. Shades of Lee Gilmour in his running style and a lot of Saints fans unhappy that he's been let go.

If we get Dixon does that mean no new deal for Adamson? I think Ashurst has been very good for us so if Dixon is better brilliant! Glad to see confirmation that Williams has agreed a 2 yr deal as well. Also I asked Sean Long if he is staying long term & his response was 'all will be revealed' - watch this space I think!

Or maybe Anderson? I think they're both off contract at the end of the year.

Just 2 words.................YES PLEASE!

Oh and thanks for Ashurst, for me he's been first rate

Slightly o/t but can anyone shed any light on [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=27&t=530224&tsmp=1339705694number 2[/url,please ?

That will be Mike Eccles. Was the fitness conditioner at Salford last year but was one of those who was let go by Matt Parish

Has anyone heard any rumours regarding players for next season yet? Being that the pack is a priority the OOC player I think could be worth considering is Morley, Cooper, Watts? Any other suggestions? With Smith more of less some I hope PV lets Marc Sneyd have a crack for a season see how he goes. I'm not sure about Towers at FB, I think someone mentioned he had a shocker in the 9's and was terrible under the high ball, McDonnell would be a decent recruit but I doubt we could afford his wage as PV said he's looking for value players.

According to MEN tonight Gibson has agreed a new deal which i think is good as he provides good cover in the squad. Also says that we are looking for 5 news signings (andy Dixon from saints rumoured to be one) and replacements for Patten, smith, Gleeson. Also says Vinnie Anderson and Luke Adamson are after new deals.....not sure about either to be honest

There is a rumour on the Cas forum that Anderson is going there.I did see Millward in the stadium on Friday night.
Cas have announced that Ellis is going there from Hull FC.The press yesterday reported FC making an offer for Danny Brough.If so,it should put to bed the MEN reports about DJ.

Wouldn't be unhappy to see the back of Anderson, good in patches but you'd guess one of the higher earners currently on the books.

The rumour about Youngquest to SCR is a no-goer.He is retiring at end of this season.

heard a rumour an old player may be returning from huddersfield dont quote me on it but just a rumour

Not to sure where I'd stand on that one. Would he becoming as a Hooker or Half? Think he's better as a number 9 these days but I'd be happy Godwin / Howarth and Owen for the long run. Maybe he replacing Smith, I'd prefer to give Sneyd a season to try and establish himself can do no harm. One for the Full Back situation next season, presuming Vievers prefers an attacking option, I'd try see what the chances of Russell from Wigan coming on a season long loan. That being if this Towers is not being retained.

There's a poster on the Hull board saying we've signed Holdsworth. He's usually spot on with his info to. Broughy is staying at Hudds.

Pretty certain he's got another year to go on his contract so there would have to be a fee involved, if there isn't one offered I'd hold him to his contract as we gain nothing at the end of it anyway.

I was under the impression Pearson was only going to buy British players.
It seems a strange one.

Salford have put a fee of £80m on his head.

They seem pretty certain over on the FC board that this is a done deal. I can't imagine we would release him from his contract so I presume a fee is involved? If we have released him then were clearly in a bit of a mess for next season.

Not good going into pre-season having to pick up a new 1,6,7 and possibly even a 9 (depending on Godwin) with the little money we seemingly have to recruit with.

Has Moon got another year or is he OOC? Could be a busy miserable winter!

but even for a transfer fee ( which wouldnt be anythin like the myler one) why would we agree to sell our best player? Especially with Matty smith going. Unless Holdsowrth is unhappy which wouldnt surprise me going off some of his twitter comments this year.

However, surely it frees up a large chuck of salary cap space. I heard patten is on 120k per year (thats how we signed him ahead of shudds), holdsworth must be on 90/100k (again we beat hudds to sign him on extneded deal), then other players like smith, adamson, feka, vinnie all potentially leaving. If we get all this money to re-invest then we could sign some handy players on these amounts! IF they are available and IF we can convicne them to join us!

Watts , Pitts , Arundel , Ellis, Crookes already signed , We are looking at Bateman and Whitehead too. Paea & Holdsworth were both mentioned a few weeks ago , Both 3 year deals . Again , This poster isnt usually wrong.

heard that morley has signed for one year and a few lads at the the england game the other night luke robinson is coming back

That Robinson rumour is doing the rounds, I've heard of rats jumping a sinking ship but never jumping back on again. Morley no thanks, well past it he should never wear the red of Salford imo.

according to a poster on saints forum we are signing a player on loan to be announced this week to cover half back....any ideas?

I haven't seen the particular post but.......I have noticed another rumour about Andrew Dixon and although this half-back has signed an extension to his contract a few months ago I would NOT object to seeing a friend of Dixon playing for SCR - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_T0_13CEqEGary Wheeler[/url

Under Matty Smith thread. Dont think the loan signing is specifically from saints...just that we are signing 'someone'
