Are you signing him until the end of the season?

If so I think provided he's got over his shoulder injury he'll go well as he is playing for his career.

Have we got a new buddha then

He is fat, unfit and finished.

Hope we don't sign him. With no relegation we need to try out some of our younger players.

That's an interesting one - where have you heard this?

If he's fit again then I'd like to see us give him a chance. We'd have someone else who can offload the ball other than Cashmere and his ball handling at times is quality. He does make a few mistakes but who in our team hasn't this season? Would hopefully add a bit of excitment on the field anyway.

It says in one of the papers today that it will be announced this week that Bradford are releasing him from his contract.

Someone on one of the forums mentioned that he thought he was going to Salford until the end of the season because he wants to play for a contract for next year after being told he isn't being resigned by Bradford.

I've no idea if any of this is true but given the way he was playing for us befoire he got injured he would play well for Salford if this happened.

I understand that we don't want to become a retirement home again, but I'd be more than willing to take a chance on him. He is sheer class when fully fit and IMO could do a very good job for us for a season or two.

As far as the rumour I heard goes. It's until the end of the season so that he can put himself in the market place.

A short term deal like that would IMO be benificial to Salford as he'd play his socks off.

In a heartbeat..............if he is fit.

Would be a brilliant move for me.

Howmany remember fondly watching Cartwright off load in some incredible situations?? and he was as old (if not older) the Solomona.

The kind of class he has you dont lose with age, get him till the end of the season and see if his skills rub off on the talented young playersaround him as for me there isnt many better off-loaders in the game at the moment.

Have you seen the size of him??

He must be at least 3 or 4 stone over weight......he has always been big, but now he just looks fat!!!

He has magic hands thou, just what we need another pivot, Come on Simms bring home the bacon

As a wakey fan l can understand your optimism, but honestly he will not be worth the gamble, he will be expensive and will make as many (if not more) errors than great passes!!!

Apart from cashmere we have very little if any 2nd faze ball at the moment, yes he'll be unfit but im wont ask him to run around like a loonatic, draw a tackle and give me a good quality offload which doesnt hit the floor on the way to our player and David you could turn this boat around

Do you have room for him, excuse the pun, on the quota?

He was a great player.

Pretty much sums it up.

how we going to get a shirt to fit...thought kooga gone bust.

he could borrow mine



but I think I am a little fitter than he at present

We might have one of Neil Baynes's old shirts knocking about

Im sure we can fit him in somewhere.

Whats the worst that can happen? he'll be a Martin Moana, start of brightly (scores the try in the semi final against leigh) and fade into the darkness after a bit.

Whats the best think that could happen? He'll offload so we get a chance to get into other teams underbellies and do some real damage become a force to be reconded with in attack instead of the drab one man rugby with no hope of a clean offload unless its cashmere.

he would be a great signing in my opinion we can't always buy young players coming through as thats seems to be suggested if we're linked with anyone 30 or over .
it was the same when we was mentioned with briers and every one on here was slaggin him off and saying he's past it but the only thing i'll say to that is he didn't look past it on sunday

If that fails just have to stitch 2 together & the opposition wont know which arm he is offloading with

It'd be a squeeze?!

Was a class player and fit or not class in permanent , IMO I would rather see a academy player given a 6 game run to see what he can prove ( Or someone else's academy players ! ) .

If he is coming it will be to prove his worth for a contract for us next season ( Kolpac / Resident ? )
