[quote="karetaker":2layl8tt]I’m stunned how they can afford to go to Portugal.[/quote:2layl8tt] I’d imagine it was booked last year when they were feeling flush, they clearly have cash flow issues, but no point not going on something that had already been paid for, doubt they would get any money back.

[quote="ratticusfinch":7gg74i91]Let's get Loghan Lewis in[/quote:7gg74i91] I've quoted that on the Leigh forum. Had no response but, hey ho.

Sod Lewis, we should throw some money at Nene McDonald, and i like Tai but nene would be a big upgrade on him, swap deal i'd be happy with that. Can't actually see that happening though. The portugal trip sounds like a "it was fun boys, really sorry but lets have some fun sunny training before you leave" Feel sorry for the players as it must be nervy time not knowing if were you stand for your career

Watkins?

We can't have another year with such attacking weakness in the centres.

[quote="Gaz3376":2vabr76n]Watkins?[/quote:2vabr76n] Apparently Saints have been in touch about him.

It’s believed that there is a meeting at 15.30 with potential investors.

I’m not sure how McD can add any worthwhile competition to that position. Can he play prop?

I understand that Warrington are putting faith in Hayes and Leyland but a little surprised that they're not linked to Marc Sneyd - would be a great foil for Williams.

Buy ageing stars 'ha look at Warrington, will they ever learn?' - put faith in youth 'stupid Warrington not signing proven OAPs'

[quote="ratticusfinch":1auukbbr]We can't win can we? Buy ageing stars 'ha look at Warrington, will they ever learn?' - put faith in youth 'stupid Warrington not signing proven OAPs'[/quote:1auukbbr] I wasn't calling Warrington stupid at all. If anything not making a move for someone like Sneyd or by replacing Drinkwater with an experienced overseas half seems further evidence of a change in policy. Historically, I don't think this would have been the case particularly given the potential for it to be a good combination with George Williams.

Can he play prop?[/quote:d12v04gg] He wouldn't add competion he'd take that spot immediately, the guys a freak and would be a massive strike weapon for us. But Lewis from what i saw and heard about is a bit of a Tank, like you said could be a gem of a signing. But i'm not sure if we'd actually be in for any of them, only time will tell

[quote="MadDogg":31xzo4xd]I understand that Warrington are putting faith in Hayes and Leyland but a little surprised that they're not linked to Marc Sneyd - would be a great foil for Williams.[/quote:31xzo4xd] Thinking we might go with Dufty at half back this year as 1st choice with Cai Taylor Wray getting the no 1 jersey.

[quote="Sparky1967":3e9c47p2]Thinking we might go with Dufty at half back this year as 1st choice with Cai Taylor Wray getting the no 1 jersey.[/quote:3e9c47p2] I seem to recall reading that he played 6 as a junior but he stood in at half for one game in 2023, at home against Leeds (loss), and I'm pretty sure that he was a flop. Also, too soon for Taylor-Wray.

[quote="Velcro Boots":qtogvycn]Lewis?[/quote:qtogvycn] Yeah Loghan Lewis, the player i replied to rubber duckie about.

[quote="Or thane":31xlnfax]Yeah Loghan Lewis, the player i replied to rubber duckie about.[/quote:31xlnfax] Ah i was trying to think of someone from wire with the name Lewis... to early for me

Warrington will run with Williams and one from Leyland or Hayes as half back. Whoever gets the first go will presumably depend on how Hayes has gone in training post-injury, but Burgess was very happy with him as first-choice last year so I don't expect that to change. Dufty will be full back; I'd expect Taylor-Wray to play 8-10 first team games and be first understudy to Dufty.

Dufty at full back all day long but Taylor- Wray will surely get some game time same applies to Lindop.

Apparently Alfie Johnson has been hugely impressive in training and is way ahead of where Sam and co expected him to be. Will be interesting when he gets an opportunity.

Salford lost the least of all SL clubs last season - they are just in trouble because they don't have a wealthy benefactor. Where would we be without M&M? rather than trying to cherry pick from their carcass, wouldn't it be better if the clubs got together to try to work out a plan to keep them going as a viable SL club pending some meaningful outside investment? If we don't start looking at the bigger picture we might not have a professional game to support soon, they could be the first of many dominoes to fall.
