According to someone on the Salford board, his best posistion is Hooker and he is quite quick when running from dummy half.

Kear has a knack of getting more out of players than McRae, so I would imagine he'll go better at Wakefield.

Like others have mentioned, he has the ability to deliver some quality plays but in the same breathe he can have some howlers. Seem to recall he knocked-on a fair few times, when you played us at the Willows.

I'm much happier to have Leo Latu than Smith at 9.

Im not !

Latu Knocks the ball on more than any other player i have seen, despite this he does add a spark.

To be honest, they both sound the same!

At least he was considerate enough to colour coordinate his trainers.

it is a good thing when he remembers the ball or doesnt put the ball back at the feet of the player who just played the ball

is he actually a scrum half our a stand off? thought he was playing 6 to mylers 7 last year

Sounds like a direct replacement for Latu to me

He'll be a revelation based on this season's performances then!

I notice that he signed a ONE year deal. Does this emphasise the can't attract players when the SL franchise is uncertain?

We had a choice between him and another 7, but he WANTED to come thats the difference.

Probably, but then Jeffries was bizarrely signed up on a three year contract, so perhaps this is more down to age and the fact he only started 4 games in the season just passed.

Because no other club wanted him?

Hope he goes well but I must admit i've never rated him as a halfback. Still better than nothing I suppose which is about the limit of our ambition.

Beggars can’t be choosers I’m afraid, but he’s definitely not the playmaker we needed.

I can remember him been absolutely awful against us in 2009.

Came over as a stand off but never set the world on fire there and, to some extent, only kept his place in the side because Richie Myler became completely and utterly awful mid season after he'd been tapped up by Warrington. Was moved to scrum half last season but lost his place quite quickly to Matty Smith. Came back into the squad in the second half of the season as a hooker alongside Malcolm Alker and played pretty well there.

Can't say i've been impressed when i've seen him play. Hopefully he's lined up as a hooker as he is certainly not the SH we require. Tommy Lee is apparently also signed up which would indicate Smith will play in the halves. Knowing JK he'll probably play Smith at loose forward.

Quick question does he count as a quota player?

Yes.

Yes he does so that means one of our current ones will be leaving or we are not signing Jessie Joe Parker and Charlie Leeano.

From my understanding we only had one space and that was filled with JJP. I was under the impression we couldn't sign Laeano and now we've signed Smith you'd imagine either Obst or Jeffries are leaving to accomodate his signature

I feel he isn't a great signing

IMO you should have been aiming for Ratchford if anyone from Salford, struggled to get a starting slot in what I feel was a weak Salford team.
I don't think he will answer your questions and is a poorer version of Obst.
Hopefully there will be someone else lined up as well. I do hope he does well for you guys though

genuinley I think your club is treating you fans pretty badly as well as the players and coaching staff, hopefully be better come October 22nd

Jeffries has been linked with Widnes... I wonder?
