I think a mix between Grix and McNally would be good this season, get a feel for them both, play Grix in Centre when McNally is at fb. I'm slightly more confident, I was impressed with McNally when I saw Ireland Scotland.

Couldnt agree more.

Personally I am of the opinion that unless its a [icurrent[/i Aussie or Kiwi international then we shouldnt bother.

what about Patten??

Good quality player. If you have a top conditioner + rehab man (and physio) could certainly do a job for 2011. Even with top sport science guys I would be loathe to risk 2012. At the Bulldogs he required lots of 'rehab' week to week in 2010.

Have salford got a good conditioning team, better than 2010, as players like Patten / Wild / Anderson need top notch support to get them through a season.

l,m with conor, you have to give youth a chance, l don,t care lf we loose a few games, ultimately, we will strike gold, no P&R, we have nothing to loose and much to gain, l would like us to sign overseas players , but only if they are top quality, players we have signed eg Mcnally, Wood, Wardle, Carlyle, have to get blooded, and sooner, rather than later.

Grix is a quality player but fullback is probably the worst position in the many that he can play. Nothing wrong with his defense or attacking play but he is pretty woeful under the high ball.

Wouldn't mind Widdop myself and he wouldn't take up a quota spot, originally a local lad and still young, seems to be the sort of signing the club are going for, would he want to leave Oz though?

Melbourne or Meltham? I wonder.....

A lot of opion also seems that given the salary cap in Aus, and the current financial situation you dont get much Aussie for the £ today so it might be simple not worth looking to the Antipodes for a player.

Like I said, if we can get a player thats good enough for at least SOO, then we might as well not bother.

Then could a fullback be one of our two overseas signings?

That article is dated 25th March 2010.

OOPS panic over we now have more full back options.

What about Patten?

You've obviously never seen him play, he is one of the best young kids around, along with George King, these are the future, mark my words.

he has gone to Salford.

gregg wont be coming back to haven, huddersfield wanted 10k for him to join us for the season and for him to play full back, you only paid 15k for him so whitehaven have decided against the move.

he will be trained as a full back this year by huddersfield but will also spend time out on loan, swinton are leading the chase for his signature

obviously you are wrong because i have seen him play a number of times up at laund hill ymca for the reserves and he never stood out considering all the hype around his signing.

greg johnson, elliot hodgson, macgillvary,walker though always stood out...

but we will see if he can make it now as a full back seeing as he has failed to break through in his preferred position ... another hemingway in my opinion

Sorry Mush, I obviously don't possess your all omnipotent appraisal abilities and bow to your superior knowledge.
