Their CEO revealed (fan's forum event), that the club have NEVER paid their full monthly rent. The shortfall of over £300k per annum is paid by the tax payers of Salford.

Imagine if we had an extra £300k to spend on our squad!

(But that we didn't do it by not paying our mortgage).

Some very handy out of contract quota players playing for Leigh today.

O’Donnell
Asiata
Nakubwaii
Stone

The tax payers of Wakefield gave us £2 million pounds towards our new ground and I believe but on this I am not sure provided the money via a delayed loan to secure the ground.

No, WMDC gave all the pro clubs in the district £2m to put towards sustainable legacy ventures and activities.

That's entirely different the SRD, defaulting on their rent and the council having to pay the shortfall, as a result of the finance package.

Salford council are liable for all SRD stadium commitments - if SRD don't pay, the council have to.

SRD COULD pay their full rent if they wanted. They choose to default on it and spend money on players instead.

So somthing tangible rather than into the pockets of players.

Oliver Holmes leaving Warrington. If he wants a club 'nearer home' Wakefield would seem an ideal move to pursue his career.

I think Asiata will be at Leigh next season.
I really hope we keep O'Donnell.
Stone is going to Melbourne Storm
Not sure what's happening with Ben Nakubuwai.

Certainly built a strong squad this season. Can’t see Batley coming close tbh whereas I would have given fev a small chance. Strange how things turn out.

Thanks for clarifying some of those.

Asiata been class this year for them. Would be a great signing for any SL club

If we are looking for new young star we might as well look at the championship award winners. Maybe young player of the year. Eseh I think his name is.
....oh wait......never mind.

He makes Kyle Amor look small.

He’s already a trinity player Poptart.

Great call sending the lad on loan. He’s had a successful campaign in a top champ team making 20 or so appearances. Will have done his confidence the world of good.

Looking forward to seeing him get another pre season under his belt and stake a claim for a bench spot. He’s got all the attributes to make it if he’s willing to work hard.

It's almost like I knew that and was being sarcastic Trojan......

It’s almost as if your sarcasm got even more sarcasm batted back



Can you remember the last time we had a prop come through with as much potential?

Im having to go back to Steve Snitch…

Let’s not forget Shaw who I also think shows promise too. I hope we re-sign him.

Reading the Warrington forum seems Holmes on his way out and maybe Bullock too. I rated Bullock at Wigan but not seen much of him at Warrington.

Holmes and Bullock are two very good players in an underperforming warrington team… very much trinity type signings

Certainly have my permission to approach them …

I really don’t rate Bullock from his time at Wigan. He looked good for a couple of drives to catch the eye but ultimately that was about it. Lazy in defence and low minutes. From what I saw at Wire this year when it became obvious Powell was overhauling the pack and he would be on an outer he looked to step it up a bit but do we really need a player that only plays when they need to earn a contract? Maybe a rolling 1 year deal may keep him interested.

Holmes is an odd one. He’s as tough as they come and a real warrior on the pitch. He took the money on offer at Warrington despite not really liking Powell because it was too good to turn down. He is familiar with Wakey having been a scholarship player. He could be a great pick up for us in my opinion should he become available.

Bullock I’m not sure on as you say. For a player with his size and frame he should be doing some real damage but sor whatever reason isn’t.

Holmes the Warrington fans seem that they can’t wait to get rid. Saying he’s lost too much weight and by all accounts been poor for them. I’m sure Apelgarth will do his homework.

The Holmes at Warrington was certainly a shadow of the one at Cas. Ditto with Peter Matautia too.

Reading today that Ruan has been signed by Leeds

Well that one burgeoning talent not spotted by our new coach or highlighted by Vastman our new expert of players in the academy and championship. I look forward to the announcement that Vastman has been made the assistant coach because he certainly fits the criteria and what he does not know he apparently phones a friend.

Even I’m getting bored of petty posts like these now. Just contribute your own views if you wish even disagree and put your reasons but from a Doncaster player signing for Leeds (rumoured a month or two ago) you’ve managed to have a pop at the new coach and Vastman to get a reaction.

Do you know why he left season? before you start having a pop

Course he doesn't.....
He's just sh*t-stirring again.....


But the post above yours from Trojan is apparently accurate.

I knew Stuart the third minion would soon come to Kevins defence but did he not say that MA would be able to promote the best from the academy due to his in-depth knowledge, I guess this was one he missed.
In answer to the subject question we look exactly the same as we did two weeks after the season ended or have I missed a signing.
How can anybody be less than confident until we actually start to see the quality and quantity of the signings.
