this salford team has one off the best foundations of the team for many years to come , MR WILKIE you should sit down and talk with the players agents , of myler , ratchford , adamson and turner , and sign these players on long term contracts what ever it takes , as this really will be money well spent , with these four players you have the core of the team , i am 100% sure all four of these players will play for england and possibably GB i only hope they do it in a salford shirt, i feel if you could get these players to sign long term contracts the future will really be rosy



KEEP THE FAITH

Nice one, he probably hadn't thought of that...

no thats the sad thing , he will probabaly will let them all go ,instead of fighting tooth and nail to keep them , no matter what it costs it will not be a gamble re- signing these players ,longterm , i only hope the directors have the sense to do this ,as to let this crop of youngster go to other clubs really would be a crying shame


KEEP THE FAITH

whats the crack with jason walton? anyone reckon he will make the grade? not seen much of him tbh. Any others coming through? I seen palfry and spencer briefly play at leigh early in the season but thats it.

i hope if they do play for england they do so in an england shirt, otherwise they wouldnt see much of the ball

I was kind of hoping this thread would be about the new stadium....

That simply isn't true. I hope we can afford to keep them, if not we'll have to move on.

how would signing these players be a gamble ?????????????

all quality players with super league experience

These players have played their ways to earning a decent amount from this game. Fact is.... can we actually afford to keep them when the big boys come in ? After all... we can only spend what we have... so don't be shocked if we do end up losing them... we must be realistic.

So can we afford to lay out thousands for 4 players... and be sub-standard throughout the rest of the squad.... or if the day comes... do we concentrate on having a full squad that can compete at a decent level at the expense of a large percentage of our salary cap being taken up by 4 players ?

It's a tough one.

the sad thing is,if the stadium doesn't happen (which seems more than likely !!) we may as well wave goodbye to these lads

Equally we cannot fault them if they move firms for better wages.

thats why we must compete,we cannot let these lads go ,last night ,adamson and myler were immense , we must do all we can to make sure the board sign all the quality youngster on long term deals







roll on friday


KEEP THE FAITH

Yet at the same time you have to question ourselves as a club if we can't actually keep any of these players.

I've said before what is the point of developing talent if other clubs are just going to poach every promising player from you - especially now that the franchise system is in place, it just goes completely against the idea of every club in the league developing young talent. We need to get our young players signed up on longer contracts, even if it's just for another 2 years until the "2nd round" of franchises kicks in.

Seems simple to me-
assuming that the players are jsut gona go where they can get paid the most (which everyone seems to be doing but mite not happen) then that's not gona be us!

So either we're gona keep them because they want to stay or there gona go for more money of the chance to play consistantly at the top of the table.

There is a real team spirit and it is very evident in the performances. This, I think, has been the foundation of the performances over the last 2 months. I think that with the addition of 4 or 5 new players, to compliment our existing better players, we can have a very good team.

I do love smithy68's new found confidence, I have to say. Considering his first few posts were all "sack the board, get McRae and Simms out, Wilky should go because we've not won anything since the seventies..." Ad nauseum.

got it before the hull game , check out keep the faith on my post

Shame you weren't keeping the faith when we were getting beat every week.

the quinns home game really got my back up ,i felt cheated, i paid my moneyand they didnt show no pride in wearing our famous shirt , i am wrong to sound off or just let it happen , you tell me, you seem to have all the answers





I AM KEEPING THE FAITH .
