[quote="number 6":2cpi724w]i thought their fans had a share of the club or something along those lines from a quick google search The Salford Red Devils also have a Community Benefit Society (CBS) where fans can buy shares in the club and elect to the CBS board. In 2023, the club raised over £300,000 through the CBS scheme[/quote:2cpi724w] Yes it seems since Koucash left in 2018 it's been a consortium of fans led by Paul King (no not that one) as Managing Director.

[quote="UllFC":2qtomvo1]That's also a strange one...he's announced he's going upstairs a year in advance and surely he knows the finances aren't great as he lost Croft, Ackers etc. Unless he's been completely misled too. I can't say I've ever seen or heard Salford's 'owner' they keep a low profile.[/quote:2qtomvo1] If things are not good for Salford, I’m sure Rowley will soon find another job. As we know ourselves, the first vacancy normally happens at Easter. I’m sure Saints will be keeping an eye on the developing situation.

Wouldn't rule our Rowley joining his old Director Of Rugby at Leeds if Arthur doesn't do well or wants to go back home.

[quote="MadDogg":w7qfct20]Personally I'd be considering Jayden Nikorima. Very sad for Salford - hope they find a path through it.[/quote:w7qfct20] Good shout. He'd be a better fit with sezer

If there are going to be quota dispensations, then I would be all over McDonald rather than Cross. Bullock, Sneyd, McDonald immediately balances our squad nicely. Although saying that, not sure Sezer and Sneyd complement each other

Bullock, Sneyd, McDonald immediately balances our squad nicely. Although saying that, not sure Sezer and Sneyd complement each other[/quote:2vd5oki8] If the quota/cap dispensations are only valid for 2025 then I would have thought that any potential incomings from Salford would need to be with one eye on next year in regard to quota spots and cap space if the dispensations expire at the end of this year, or am I misreading the situation? This would apply to all clubs and any acquisitions they may also make from Salford?

If the RFL are looking at allowing quota dispensations I would look at Nikorima as although he comes with a risk he offers something we don't have currently and think under Cartwright he'd go well. I can understand the quota dispensation but think the dispensation on salary cap wouldn't be a good move to be honest. I would imagine the club will be looking at Bullock, McDonald, Lafai and Nikorima as well as Cross, Sneyd not to sign them all but give us best chance to get 2 or maybe 3 would be the best fit in terms of an edge, a middle and a half. I doubt very much if the RFL would sanction 2 quota players so it would one of Nikorima, McDonald, Lafai. Those would then be dependent of if Sneyd comes back, if he does then McDonald or Lafai would massively improve us. If Sneyd doesn’t come and we go for Nikorima that would rule us out of McDonald & Lafai. With the update re quota dispensation we may possibly already be looking at Nikorima instead of Sneyd who knows. Certainly going to be interesting over the next 24hrs

[exturl][/exturl][quote="paperboy":1cte6h2o]Would be very surprised if Sneyd comes back. He left for 2 main reasons 1. To be near his family which Leigh are. 2. 3 year contract I think he will go to Leigh as Beaumont will match whatever Hull offer just to stick 2 fingers up to us. Also dont like players going back plus snyed getting on now so would be a big risk. Other thing Syned and Sezer very similar players. Remember Leeds with Sezer & Austin they were an awfull pairing because they both wanted to organise the team and were both pretty slow. We should wait for other options[/quote:1cte6h2o] We could pay Sezer off and bring someone in to play alongside Sneyd?

[quote="Marcus's Bicycle":35n0qqfa]Aaron Bower reporting that Rovers are interested in McDonald. We better make a move sharpish.[/quote:35n0qqfa] He also thinks Sneyd will sign for Leigh due to the geographical circumstances.

[quote="Yippee try yay":2f7ppsup]Says potential quota dispensations may be put in place, if so I'd be all over either Mcdonald or Marsters, hopefully we'll be looking at Cross, Sneyd and Bullock.[/quote:2f7ppsup] If there are we need someone like McDonald rather than Sneyd A backline of Barron,Cross,McDonald and Martin looks a lot better than Barron,Hardaker,Chamberlain and Briscoe

[quote="UllFC":m5fqbiom]Quota place and sacked by Catalans, and also had a drug ban in the NRL so he doesn't come without risks[/quote:m5fqbiom] but he has two good legs and pace two things alot of our players dont have

[quote="bonaire":1btkubsw]If there are we need someone like McDonald rather than Sneyd A backline of Barron,Cross,McDonald and Martin looks a lot better than Barron,Hardaker,Chamberlain and Briscoe[/quote:1btkubsw] Agree a lot more pace and power with those two, I'm on the fence with Sneyd they always say never go back and him and Sezer are very similar. Think Cust will have a huge season for us and gives us better balance in the halves.

[quote="Marcus's Bicycle":60fy4924]Aaron Bower reporting that Rovers are interested in McDonald. We better make a move sharpish.[/quote:60fy4924] Trust Ritchie to get it right

I'm probably in the minority in saying i wouldn't be too disappointed if we miss out on Sneyd. We already have an organising 7 in Sezer. Would prefer Nikorima for a season and go all out for Will Pryce for next year.

Agree. Leave Sneyd in the past, it’s a new era. Rarely works out second time around.
