No chance of signing Benji. You’d be disappointed if the Doc hadn’t asked the question, or pursued it but his wife is homesick as it is in New Zealand so why would they uproot to the other side of the world? The chance we had was for the remainder of the 2014 if NRL clubs had spent up to the cap, but as you can imagine when a player like Benji becomes available you make room.

I will be surprised if he ends up somewhere other than Cronulla.

WHAT ! What are you talking about ? Out of touch, more like touched in the head !

No there is more chance of our new Head Coach, CEO or our next Football Director still being here this time next year than there ever was of signing Benji Marshall.

Dunno if the following is correct : - [iLOOK out NRL club bosses. Salford’s millionaire owner Marwan Koukash is headed Down Under.

The big-talking Koukash was due to arrive in New Zealand at the end of this week, where it’s expected that he will make his first play — for Kiwi fullback Kevin Locke[/i.

Yes the Doc's heading over to buy the New Zealand Warriors and oversee the logistics of their transportation to the UK.

heard greg eden was training with the red devils today?

https://nz.sports.yahoo.com/league/news ... e-salford/ Seems there is still plenty of work to do, much longer than the speculative 48 that's been reported.

Has anyone got the right time as my clocks must be slow?, I'm sure the ever accurate article said that the high profile signing was due to be clinched within 48 hours and that was early Wednesday morning.

Salford lose twice over Easter: We are signing Locke.

Negative headlines over Noble sacking: We are signing Marshall.

I just hope we beat Widnes, as I don't think I can take 'Doc targets Inglis' followed by bringing in Ben Cockayne on loan.

Welcome to 5 hours ago.

A little observance over the titles of topics would have helped here. It's either that, or you were trying to be clever. Either way, you've failed.

I think the 48 hrs report was started in the MEN and followed by other 'investigative' journalists.

Reading the RFL report it seems Dr K has targeted Sunday night for an update on 2 players of interest.

Patience is a virtue

You really have to be wary of these NRL player agents. They have a reputation for being as slippery as a wet fish coated in Vaseline. Don't be surprised if they are just using Koukash and his millionaire profile to drive up the value of a new contract elsewhere. Ask yourself how the Australian media found out about the interest from Salford? The information was planted for a purpose.

Let's just wait and see what happens before we get the champagne out of the ice bucket.

48 or 480?

nope it was meant as a friendly warning about expecting too much. your fans are a bit like ours in that you sometimes expect a big name and then end up with someone nowhere near to what you were expecting. it would be nice to have big name signings every few weeks but even wealthy clubs can disappoint sometime with player recruitment. that said we'll wait and see on this one with interest.

and on a more practical note how much cap space do you have without offloading players?

Players will probably have to go, but I'm just guessing. I have no idea what the financial situation of any Club really is. Like every fan. No point people harping on about the cap. Salford will be scrutinized a little closer than others due to our owner blabbing about the cap early on after his takeover. A misguided attempt to make a point on his part that he's not repeated, thankfully.

As for getting something less than we expect, most people will know that Salford fans will always air on the negative side. We're pretty used to picking-up the scrapings of other Clubs over the years, so maybe we can be forgiven for a little excitement every now and again. The Doc will probably come back from down under with Slater, Thurston, and Locke...

...Donald Slater, Albert Thurston, and Gerald Locke.

uumm, looks like Joel Tomkins has already signed with Kevin Locke swiftly behind from this article

Have they got their wires crossed and actually mean Logan?

Ben Teo For. 2015.The latest name to be linked

First Marshall. Platt was signed instead.

Now Kevin Locke.

More like Devon Loch.

And Koukash, who had been expecting to fly to New Zealand this week to possibly agree a deal with New Zealand Warriors fullback or halfback Kevin Locke, [size=150has told Total Rugby League that he has decided to postpone the trip[/size
