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'

Wouldn't say no to Wheeler or Gaskell until end of season but I just can't see us bringing anyone else in. The more likely scenario is Longy or as is going to happen this weekend Sneyd. I'd much rather have Sneyd in than put Howarth at 6 & DJ at 7. DJ is in brilliant form at 6 where he gets more time and his defence is unbelievable at the moment!

We are more Likly to sell than buy be lucky if we have team next year

I know what I am about to say isn’t relevant for this thread so apologies in advance.

Why is it that everywhere I turn on this forum you are popping you with negative comments all the time, I know it’s frustrating at times being a Salford fan but there is no need for this constant barrage of negativity. All you are succeeding in doing is winding everybody up further and making us all feel worse than we already do.

I know you are entitled to your opinion but unless its positive or a valid opinion of some sort then please don’t say anything at all because I imagine I am not the only one who is getting abit fed up of it.

I come on this forum for a couple of reasons, the main one being the love of the club and don’t want to read your predictable depressing comments everywhere I look.

Players come and players go, we will move on as a club.

Apologies everybody, I had to get this off my chest.

You could make him a foe or just ignore him, as most people do with Dantes ([isic[/i) Inferno [iet al[/i. All you'd be missing would be some barely readable variation on "Wah! Boo hoo! Something's wrong and someone, somewhere should do something about it".

Someone on facebook site has posted that they are friends with a warrington player who has told them that solomona is on his way to us for next year......hope not!!

Seems to be a noticable lack of rumours regarding our recruitment for next year. Lets hope we are being quietly efficient behind the scenes and that its not a case of struggling to attract anyone

I'd take Solomona as he adds a bit of grunt to the pack. If we can manage his weight he's a class player with the hands of a halve.

i recall something simular being said re Feka, another luxury impact player we cant afford

Ryan Brierley has confirmed he leaving Cas, appears to have stood out at Championship level. I think he may well be on Vievers radar. Not sure of his best position thought half back / full back. I would rather have this kid than someone like Wellens / Mathers / McGoldrick.

I believe he's scored another hat-trick tonight for Leigh!

He's also signed a 2 year deal already there. But with the inclusion that if any SL side wants him he's free to leave.

I'd be very happy to sign Brierley as always thought he looked like a good quality half and can cover a couple of other positions which is always a bonus. You'd also think we'd not have to break the bank to get him either.
