We are linked with Ben Murdoch-Masila from Penrith, apparently set to be announced in the next few days.

Makes sense. Tim Sheens coached him when he came through at Wests. He'll also be a pretty exciting signing for us. Power, pace, and good hands for a forward.

Just watched his highlights looks decent

BJB, MCB and now BMM - Getting rather posh.

He'd be a cracking signing, big minutes and extremely pacey for a front row forward. One who you'd think would play for the team rather than himself, already you see the Sheens influence.

Just been reading his bio.Apparently when he signed for Wests on a scholarship he weighed in at a mighty 150kg.By the time he was signed to the Wests NYC team they had managed to trim him down to a svelte 110kg.
Just hope he doesnt do a Vic Mauro who couldnt keep his snout out of the trough(please,no Cameron jokes) or we might have to widen a few doorways.

Anyone know names of players we might be looking it?

According to the Oracle that is the MEN it's easy.

EVERYONE!

In one article it seems that Bellamy might be looking overseas for his next option and then it states that Sheens is staying put and taking over as head coah. www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pre ... 7539137647 Bellamy as head coach and Sheens as DOR would for me be the dream team.

Yeah, former ELO drummer Bev Bevan...

Read reports that Konrad Hurrell is free to leave NZ, now he is the type of centre I'd love to see play.

Sa'u, Hurrell, Griffin and Carney now that's massive backline.

No matter who you sign the good doctor will undo all the hard work

No one else want to see Josh Griffin moulded into a 2nd row? He's a big strong lad with good pace and I reckon he'd do a great job there. He's been superb this season but I'm not sure he has the all-round game to be a top class centre. I think he'd develop into a pretty good 2R tho.

Having watched the recent interview it seems the penny may have eventually dropped.

So after the game I learnt that O'brian has sign so has Monaghan and this prop/2nd row from Wests. Sau has been told he can leave and from the reason Hanson has left is a bit more complicated than we think. Apparently Thursday is the day when a number of announcements will be made

Be a bit miffed if we release someone in his prime like Sa'u and bring in Monaghan, at the very most I'd offer him a 1 year deal so we can see how he goes.

Who's the guy from Wests?

The lad with the double barrelled name. Not to fussed with Sau to be honest, not a very proving centre shall we say and wrong physical build for a winger

This is an oft mooted question at Salford but with all the people we've released how many quota spots are available?

If we take it that Lui and BMM have signed following the release of Chase, Paterson, Maitua, Locke and Puletua we might still have a spot or two available.

It's non-fed trained status that you really need to look at. The Kolpack fellas don't count on the quota but do for non-fed.

Lui would count on both. BMM would be non-fed as he's a Kiwi. Dobson counts on both. Sau is non-fed. Weller is non-fed.

Who else is left for next season?

Quite a few spots left I think. The quota numbers are five max and non-fed seven? They were changed recently and I can never remember for some reason. A statto on here will tell you better than me.

I think they got rid of the old quota completely from this season - it's just Non-Fed quota now...So Non-Fed is the quota.

Anyway, just Dobson Sa'u & Huaraki by my count too.

If that's the case then it'll be the seven that sticks in my mind for some reason...

Dobson, Sau, Weller, Lui, BMM would leave two more spots open. If Monaghan has signed that'll be six, and if Carney comes that'll be seven.

You could have eight if you used the marquee signing. So Cory-Parker for 12 months as well would be nice.

7 is definitely right for Non-Fed.

Are you sure the Marquee allowance gives you an extra spot though? Sounds odd.

Murdoch-Masila has just been released by Penrith along with a player I'd love to see in the pack, Adam Docker is a beast in defense and would go some way to filling the gap left by losing Hock, HH and Paterson.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, it was more a tongue-in-cheek comment.

Care to elaborate?

I had to ask, the RFL do make this stuff up after all!
