MEN quote
The Reds owner has allowed Andrew Dixon To join Leigh and could do the same with Tony Puletua whose own chances of first team rugby could be limited this term.

Do I smell a space on the cap for a new "Pritchard" like signing ?

Does/did Puletua count on the quota?

If he does that will free up a space on the quota, if not it would still free up space on the salary cap

I don`t want to set hares running but I`m sure I saw a tweet saying Marwan was to make a significant announcement on Thursday. No idea what and I`m not going to add to any rumours but role on Thursday.

Playing wise I`d be surprised this close to to the start of the season but who knows.

I also saw we have sold more season tickets than last year !!

Not seen anything on here I`m wondering if I really did see the tweets,

I hope someone else saw these tweets otherwise I need to lay off the caffeine...

was on the clubs twitter feed a couple of times

Given that the media day was cancelled due to the weather does anyone know what the announcement was/is?

Nobody seems to know. It will probably be anti-climatic when it comes. Which is also fine, as I had my fill of built-up announcements last year.

I'm sure Mr Barker in the MEN can make something up

Unless the media day was cancelled because the 'Big News' didn't materialise? Heavy snow was the reason for the cancellation but it was nothing more than a light dusting.

It was to announce the signing of Isaac Luke for 2016.

But what was the big announcement? Was wondering with Adamson leaving London if he was 'coming home'

I'd donate my legs to see Luke in a Salford shirt.

We can dream I suppose...

Grassy Ar$e, that's you not defending your bum kicking world crown are kid.

Sometimes you just have to retire undefeated.

Really ! I felt he reached a promising plateau then went backwards, just ran in without making a break or offloading

If we can attract Locke we can get Luke , providing we've a quota spot and can absorb 200K salary - and of course he's another Cuz of Rangi's.
and he was RLIF international Hooker of the Year 2013.

on the negative side , what does that say to our present squad vying for the 9 shirt.
and there's the small matter of his South's Contract.

If can use facts you can dispel any rumour, it's just more fun until the season starts playing the we've signed God game.

For what it's worth the Doc has hinted at something huge on the horizon for next season (going back some time) so I wouldn't be surprised to see us sign another big name player, would also like to see the club having people look at the lesser nations at the RU world cup seeing if we can unearth the odd gem from the likes of Georgia or Namibia.

Oh, which Luke are you on about Mr Butcher ?

Go get BURGESS Marwan - must be bored stiff @ Bath.

Id rather us start blooding some youngsters through. Apprently ryan lannan is training with the first team squad which is good news.

Issac Luke.
