Of the departed Players which three would you sign again if given the opportunity ?
A - Because they deserve another chance
B- Because they would improve our Squad

Finally Have I missed anyone ?

If I'm being honest I wouldn't have any out of that list. Maybe Joel Moon or at a push Ratchford due to his versatility (he wouldn't be in my first choice 17 though)

Ratchford due to being a good player and very versatile

Joel Moon - although the way he left tainted his time with us, and much as I appreciate our current choice centres, he had the best offload & sidestep Salford had seen since Peter Williams.
Adam Clay - one of those players with the ability to get over the line ( See Keith Bragger ), deserved a second chance.
George Tyson -Let go too early convinced he'll come good.

don,t remember Keith Bragger was he any relation to Ian

B*gger! yeah 'Keith ' must have been Ian's smarter brother . and not the one we paid Keighley a record fee for & them (as the myth) goes sold him to Cas to pay for Wigan's hand me down Scoreboard

I'd take Ray Cashmere in a second...

It's funny when I saw that list Ray was the first omission I thought about. I think in our current team he would be a great addition.
Very underrated by a lot of our fans when he was with us.

Blimey Paul he must be about 47 now.

The one I'd love back isn't on the list for some reason Jodie Broughton, doubt there would be a speedier back line in RL not just SL.

I was gutted when Jodie left, he scored some amazing tries for us. But I was so impressed with Greg Johnson last year, he is a top winger. So if both were in the squad, and if we take BJB as a shoe in for one of the wing spots, who would you chose. Greg or Jodie? I would go for Greg.....

I'd take Broughton, I don't like Johnson's history so applaud the shirt rather than the man.

Ok, taking the history away, who do you think is the better winger?

Broughton offers more, I'm not sure if he's physically bigger but he certainly appears stronger and better defensively.

Moon is quality and would be a great foil for the bulldozing S'au. I'd also have Stefan, Cashmere and Broughton (remember how little service he actually got while playing for us?).

Now.... if (and a bloody big if!) the guy was 100% fit I'd throw McPherson back into the mix. I think, fully fit, he'd have been immense for us but we just never got to see him at anywhere near 100%.

You could make a case for people like Anderson as well. Class on his day but far too inconsistent in a Salford shirt.

Greg Johnson for me. I loved watching Jodie in a Salford shirt, as has been said above he also scored some great tries for us but Johnson was just as good last season if not better. I always felt Jodie laboured on his work inside our own half, he never seemed to hit the line hard enough and make anywhere near as many yards as he could. In contrast, Johnson hits the line at speed every time which results in many clean breaks - a particularly memorable one was his try v Widnes away earlier in the year. I imagine he's much cheaper too!

Edit: just checked the stats and Johnson made 14 clean breaks compared to Broughton 6 last season. Both played the same number of games and scored the same amount of tries.

Same for me.

I liked Jodie, but Johnson is better.

With Butcher on the this & the 2014 stats agree.
+ for Jodie- less missed tackles, more carries- & carries from dummy run,
Johnson however almost 3 x the amount of tackles busts, twice the amount of clean breaks, Tackles & and offload game , with a team that finished 10th.
And he should be better next year with an intensive preseason behind him.
