Kelepi to Leigh in exchange for Ava Seumanufagai.

That's the rumour going round, with an overseas prop coming the other way. Tom Amone, Ava Seumanufagai & Ben Nakubuwai would be the options if true.

Don’t Leigh have a quota spot same with Salford so not necessarily have to be overseas if that is right…not sure.

I can see us bringing in Sidlow who may actually bring some aggression and fight to some of our middles.

Tanginoa is a good player, but an excellent player, not often enough.
Mark Applegarth will know who is and who isn’t up for it. If they aren’t, why keep them?
More to follow that’s for sure. Shame it’s so late.

Podcast with MC and the HKR chap, explaining everything how why the deal came about. Having listened to the first part I’m more convinced than ever we have the right men in charge. From the sound of things possibly more comings and going’s, hold on tight folkes. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... AI8L6Np1qv

The coaching staff now know who is and isn’t up for it. It’s very reminiscent of our early years in SL. Put a team together that can scrap, won’t be pretty but it might just work.

He’s been a passenger for a few seasons now, sparking into life just occasionally. When we had a much better team we could afford that but now we need players who perform week after week even if they are less spectacular.

Listening to Matthew Shaw's podcast he said Dagger and Hall had the same agent!

Sadly I agree. Kalepi was on fire when he first come over. Signed a long term and probably big deal and we have rarely seen that player since.

He’s still good but in my opinion he doesn’t look as fit or as strong and looks to have lost some muscle mass gradually over the years.

If we aren’t going to get that Kalepi back then it’s worth considering a deal imo.

Yeah, I agree. We should have pursued the Shaul signing. When Max got injured, it was clear for all to see just how much disruption was caused and just how little strength in depth we had throughout the squad. It made the team look like it had been picked by drawing numbers out of a hat! Shaul would have just stepped in like-for-like.

What did you think about the bit near the end, regarding the CEO position, MC didn’t want to reveal too much, but indicated talks were progressing. Also the bit about spending £300,000 on Academy etc, didn’t realise it was that much, sadly he spent 10 years building it up, but relegation could damage all that.

Is it any different from the days of Westwood , Ellis , Jackson, Woods, wright, Atkins , all going to pastures new . All this huffing and puffing and threats of walking away , been there done it and got the T shirt and still the club stands ,and will do long after the faint hearted fans have parted company . Let the club sort the playing side out and let’s us back them , because all the back biting and sniping in the world won’t change a thing now , move on and get behind the lads .

Leigh have a full quota.

And there is no way Sidlow will be leaving Salford. First choice, 2 year deal, team going well. Not gonna happen.

I’ve not heard it yet, I was going more on what I heard yesterday. I know things are happening both long and short term and people will be moving in and out. What I don’t know is who.

I do know that we are going to make our opinions known regarding the Academy but what effect that has is anyone’s guess. I’m

Doesn’t always work like that. In my experience it could easily happen just as easily as it won’t. Clubs and players do all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons.

They had all the off season to sort out the team but it would appear the main motivation was a reduction in the player budget. What they are now trying to do is cover their mistakes by appearing to take action but all this involves in bringing players on two week loans and removing our better players replacing them with who knows.
It would be good if they had actually bothered to put together a squad the we could get behind. I would suggest they are forcing supporters away and when it comes to sniping I would suggest you read the statement from MC blaming the supporters for not turning up in sufficient numbers.

Jeez you like to take the dark view.
I can tell you they are not trying to drive supporters away or covering mistakes. They are just doing their best.

I realise it will be a shock that you are not the driving force for their decisions but alas it is so.

"Doing thier best" is tame though isn't it.

They are frantically trying to change something but at no cost the club with no to little additional spend.

We are literally throwing the dice 1 more time. But even then Doing it on no money at all. If the new stand is going to make us into overnight millionaires why aren't we spending a bit of money in advance (or even borrowing to spend if we are minted for life).

Also, let's be honest we're in this mess because our recruitment has been shoddy for years now. So I think we have a right to be annoyed

I didn't say you don't have a right to be annoyed. I'm annoyed.
But saying, as Scarlet constantly does, that the board are trying to make bad decisions and blaming the fans, is incorrect.

Yep there not DELIBERATELY making bad decisions. But still there have been some absolute stinkers.

Well as a Leigh fan it won’t be Amone, you can be sure of that - top 6 club player he is.

The other 2 have size but haven’t particularly impressed me, don’t really know much about your chap but as an outsider he sounds like he’s on one of your bigger contracts and your trying to cut costs - really hope I’m wrong and you regroup and kick on

But those pushing the clubs narrative are suggesting it's all about survival in 23. So I'm sure there's nothing to see here.

Tanginoa was linked with Warrington last season might be a deal with them .

They are not deliberately making bad decisions but their driving force and lack of experience resulted in bad decisions. He constantly bemoans the fact that we never reach the threshold of supporters they need, but we never will based on the performances over the last few seasons.
I admit I have never believed they had the know how to run a rugby club and have pointed this out over several seasons. We have survived not due to those running the club but despite them, unfortunately they have finally produced a playing structure that even the players can overcome.

One of our bigger earners and better players. Be a good pick up for you if it's happening.
