Do you have evidence to support this? I was under the impression that he wanted to join Salford as he was raised in the area and his dad played for them.

That was part of the story to make it suit all parties, but I can assure you H did want to stay.

Sounds like another wonderful conspiracy theory then. We'll have to wait until H writes a book

Don't you think that just reads as incredibly implausible in professional sport? He spent the best part of 10 years at Wigan when secretly he always wanted to play for Salford?

He went for the money just like all the other signings at Salford have (even Morley).

There's no shame in that for him or Salford.

Market forces and all that . Salford paid him what they thought he was worth . Wigan would not match the offer or did not think he was worth that . Wigan were compensated by Salford . Fair play to H he has to look after the family and no shame to him in doing that . No sentiment in professional sport when there is a mortgage to be paid .

Clubb done his ligaments in out for a few weeks, Sutton with concussion so unavailable next week.

Clubb
Sutton
Lockers
Farrell
Bowen
Hampshire
Thornley
Pettybourne
Flower
Charnley

The injury list grows...

Previous reports were josh would be back for magic weekend but im more concerned about who we can have in the pack and still have subs to replace them, losing clubb and now sutton is a blow

From the interviews it sounded like farrell may be back next week and hopefully captain fantastic is back

Hopefully one or two of Pettybourne, Farrell and O'Loughlin will be back next week - we'll need them to be competitive.
