Am I right in saying that the signing of Phil Bailey fills up our quota allocation.

This puts to bed some of the more exotic rumours floating around this forum.

Yeah

J.Smith definitely going now then.

Says on the Reds FB that more signings are to be announced but just not today good news.

More meaning more than 1 meaning more than just Gleeson, I'm happy.

Of course we haven't signed Judas yet. But in all seriousness, both Bailey and Feka should prove to be two very good signings.

At first I was not sure, but they are a step forward, just need people willing to cover for Feka's defense.

And you're seriously upset about that?

Can't really see any difference in Nero and Bailey and think as I've said before that Feka is a luxury prop and not a grafting one which is what we need. OK he makes yards going forward but when were starting under our own posts as people have run through him it's pretty immaterial.

Can anyone see any similarities in Nero/Bailey and Edmondson. Think one of them would have been a good signing and the cash saved could have gone towards a better centre than Gleeson or a much needed 2ND hooker, as I half expected at some point next season Alker to pull his boots back on but the news of his back surgery puts an end to that.

About Bailey being quota I ment not about Smith going, not really upset, it was just interesting being linked with all these NRL players.

Ahh right Ok I suppose there is still a chance of forward coming over, if he holds a Fijian, PNG, Samoan or Tongan passport?

Anyone want to put forward ideas as to what our first choice 17 will be next year?

Very true, smithy predicting a big signing this week, doubt it will happen though to be honest.

Cashmere can do 60 minutes easily. He wants to play 60 minutes per game. Feka fills in for a portion of the rest. I'm happy with that.

I have no doubt that Feka will become a favourite at Salford. He gives that instant impact in attack... which can easily lead to motivating the entire team.

Don't think so. The 5 quota spots also equals 5 non-federation trained players in 2011, so regardless of kolpak status or EU passports, we only have "room" for non-English players who were contacted to British clubs before February 2008 (hence how Feka, Latu, Nero and Anderson all count as home federation trained).

[iGREAT NEWS ---- WHO'S NEXT ?[/i

Probably Gleeson.

I think you'll find if any player holds an EU passport then there is little the RFL can do to prevent that player playing super league.

Both good signings, both will bring somthing to the table, lets just bask in the glory of the signitures rather than how we get the best out of them just yet
