| Quote ="NickyKiss"We’re not messing about when it comes to investment in to the club. That would be a pretty major appointment. I can’t help but look towards the money being ploughed in by Mike Danson and thank Ian Lenagan for what looks to be his final gift for the club. To find the club a new owner, who is cash rich and cares about it as a fan, is something he can be extremely proud of and one that gives us such relief as supporters.'" Don't let the wendyballers hear you say stuff like that ![Smile icon_smile.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_smile.gif) But can't agree more.
As for Betts, interesting choice if it comes off, so long as he doesn't get any ideas about returning to the men's team (still have nightmares about some of those 04/05 games - 75 nil anyone?).

| Quote ="MadDogg"Great to see the Nsemba renewal - I'm sure he'll be in the 17 most weeks next year.
Fingers crossed we hear positive news on a renewal for Harry Smith soon too. Would also be very interesting to know what the status of the marquee player spots is and what the plans for them are going forward with all of the big names, recruits and young players developing. It would surprise me if there is room to keep all of French, Field and Smith post 2024 considering the salary increase Smith will warrant after his contract expires.'"
Only just seen his interview on Wigan tv, a very mature response to all the questions. There more I see and hear from him the more I like him. The sky’s the limit for this lad if he can keep clear of major injuries and continue to progress with the help of the coaching team.
Nice to have a Christian as part of the club and not afraid to make people aware of his faith.

Nice to see Betts back at the club.
IL said at the gala dinner that the policy is not to recruit women's players from other clubs but focus on developing pathways. 100% the right way to go and this should be something that is essential for all clubs both on the men's and womens side.
I will never understand how player production is not part of IMG criteria.

| Not for me and not for Nsemba.
If it’s irrelevant to you then fair enough but I was speaking for myself. If you don’t like my comment feel free to block me.

Don't be putting that on poor Dennis ![Wink icon_wink.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) A certain Ian Millward was in charge then.

Great move that. If I could pick a coach to help him regain his confidence it would be Rowley and Salford have rebuilt a few players in this last 4 or 5 years.
Hope it works out for him.

I'd love to see it, but there's no way it's going to happen. I suppose, just conceivably if the so-called Farrell deal turns out to be nothing, but if OF does come, then there'd be no room on the cap, not without further losses, and we don't want those ... everything's neatly balanced at the mo.

| Personally, if the idea of the OF deal is true, I hope the club are treating that pot of money as a separate one to anything else.
On the playing side of things and outside of the marquee rule, it's a massive opportunity for Danson to not only flex his cash, but gain a massive advantage. Getting talent from outside of the sport is an avenue that no other club have either really explored, or have the funds to exploit properly. Make no mistake about it, there's some serious talent in RU and if we can leverage that, outside of the cap - then it's a win win.

Absolutely, whether there is anything in the Owen Farrell deal or not the sport in this country should be looking to RU in Wales and England for talent. The big wages are just not going to be on offer as widely as before in the other code and for players who can see that their international ambitions are not going to be realised, jumping ship to RL should be a realistic back up option.
We should keep an eye on KPP's "little" brother at Saracens!

| Good luck to him. It’s a shame his body has let him down in this second spell because I thought there were some really good signs there when he got on the field. He was an absolute handful in quite a few games. Fingers crossed he stays fit at Wakey and if so, he’ll go well for them.

That’s true, I think it is. Wigan, Union, Wigan, a few clubs and then Wigan again and now he gets to play in front of the Benidorm flats. He’s hit the jackpot!
