Stavely’s dad did come out and say that 1st May was him starting a new work contract and nothing to do Nick JR so I doubt there is anything in it. People are just fishing

Don't think we'll see Wynne play for the club again.
Came back out of condition after his injury and attitude is way off.

Brown, Lovodua, Evans and Balmforth heading for pastures new and highly likely Savelio too.
Think Staveley is 50/50.

Think Satae will get a new deal and 3 others have got new deals with 2 others having offers on the table so far.

Looking at some championship players and the NRL especially for a hooker.
TS is a big fan of Jeylan Hodgson and said to be making good progress so could well get a squad number next season.

Wonder if we'll take a look at Thomas Doyle in the champ. Thought Rovers were linked with him when Smith was there

If its true about Wynne not having the right attitude, as good as he could/can be then I'd have no issue in the club letting him go. TS has been brought in to change the culture which as we have seen there is something not right somewhere when it comes to the attitude & application in the playing group and its been that way for years.

As fans we have wanted AP to get an experienced coach in and sort the mess out which he has now done, so we have to trust in the decisions being made by TS who has a proven track record of turning teams around.

Be disappointed to lose Balmforth, has fantastic potential, saying that as someone has mentioned about, we are very strong at hooker, a couple of highly rated prospects including Hodgson.

Brown is under contract next year, so we would be entitled to a fee, really hope we don't give him away for free. Still think he will make a very good SL player.

I'd agree with you Dave, in Brown I do wonder if part of his problem along with the likes of Wynne have been and are down to learned behaviours/attitude which they have picked up as youngsters coming in to a group that seem to have has poor discipline/attitude within the playing group?

I'd like to see Brown given more of an opportunity but we have to trust in what TS is doing.

Rumour on the TRL board of Tyler Dupree to Hull. Cannot see that, as I heard he turned us down prior to going to Salford

I just can't see it, seems happy, just got an international call up and only signed a new contract in December.

Saying that, he won't be on a high wage and with his performances and international call up, he might be depending a pay rise that Salford can't afford, especially with the Croft deal.

Very unlikely though.

Completely agree, and while I like Wynne's aggressive playing style, do we really think he is a potential England or even England Knights full back? We have enough 'tries hard but not quite good enough' players out there as it is.

I hope I'm wrong, but don't see Pearson paying a fee, especially someone who would be much sought after and wouldn't be cheap

I don't think we are flush with cash, but announcing we have paid a fee for 'highly rated current England International' gets some pounds through the shop and ticket office, sometimes you need to speculate to accumulate.

Yeah I ageee, be vert happy with this signing,, the type we need to make.

Not heard or seen this rumour anywhere except here, just can't see it.

Disagree really Staveley and Balmforth both had fitness issues so why would they get selected to play first team

Tongue in cheek, but If, as has it has been suggested, we will be releasing Andre, would be good to offer him to Wakey, as a swap for Kelepi Tanginoa (spelling?) . He is one player I'd love to see in our backrow, think he's got a bit of Willie Manu style about him and has always looked a standout whenever I've seen him play. I seriously doubt either player would be keen, though, unfortunately.

Staverly has been playing big minutes for Newcastle, so can't be that unfit.

Balmforth could have done some short spells with Hougthon last season, much better option that JJ.

I'm not saying they should be playing everywhere, but they could have been given more gametime to see what they can do. Could potentially lose them both now, we could come back to haunt us in the future like Litten.

We don't have a quota spot and despite him being a good player, he is a but injury prone too

Yep , would have to get rid of a quota player first, forgot about that. Get the scout who works for Salford on board, that would be a good signing, if Motu is busy!

State the bleeding obvious why don’t you?

Wow! Apologies if I have offended you Alf.

Sorry GB was meant to be tongue firmly in cheek, like your post was I didn’t mean to come across like that now I’ve read it back ! I was agreeing with you - like I say sorry if it came across as nasty it really wasn’t meant to sound as bad as that. Motu Tony could spot a player and is another one of my heroes for scoring that try in 05 despite the Leeds fullback trying to knee his head off .

I imagine Salford would tell us to pish off if we asked for Dupree

All depends on if the price is right I guess and if Salford need money first and foremost.
