Good signing, things are looking up a bit.

I dont understand why we need Ropati then as we have Grady and Gardner can play centre also ford is a centre

Ropati has the potential to play SL unlike the others. That's if we are even in for him.

Tyrer is a good player at Championship level, but has been very poor for Salford.

We will have to see how he goes. At this level he is good enough - although for Salford he has been very poor, but that's a side that is clearly not got a lot of cohesion. There's still a good player in there, we just need the right coaching to get it out.

Great signing IMO and just what we need young, enthusiastic, skilful and has played a lot of SL, great kicker too. Wouldn't say been very poor for Salford he's had his moments at both ends and a full season in his favoured spot of centre may help rub a few errors out!

Is this actualy Matt Gardner? As only him himself could describe Gardner as a centre!

He'll be ok for you next year but it doesn't surprise me that its only a one year deal. If he gets coached the right way he can be great but dont be surprised with the number of errors he makes, and watch out for the biggies



Wish him all the best

Good signing for Championship level, a recognised goal kicker too.

1-year deal is a good idea though. I still would like to see Ropati signed too.

Gardener will never be a centre as long as he has a hole in his !

Gardner and Grady are not good enough for centres so i would like to sign Ropati.

Salford forum says he can be good on his day, so if he gets his confidence i am sure he could be a top signing.

I am very pleased with the signing, hopefully a few more good signings and we can leave this division with silerware

Ideal signing for us. Right age, good background and a season at our level is just what he needs.

There you go..

I know Gardner will never be good enough but I believe grady could be a great player with the right support and I don't believe he is getting this at the moment

there you go?

More silverwear

Im liking these 1 year deals, it will make them fight for a new contract in Super League should we get there. The good thing about Tyrer is he can kick goals for fun and is very fast. Just what we need.

I still hope we get Ropati with Ford going the other way.

it would be nice

Agree vm on the 1 year deals...fighting for contracts if we get the nod should make for healthy competition for places.Do u think he'd get the kicking duties over the likes of grady or craven or share the role?..was pleased 2 hear of this signing tbh because it came totally out the blue.Hopefully more of the same can be announced .

I think Tyrer and Craven will take the kicking duties.Grady is not good enough in my opinion, as lacks pace or a decent side step.

Well hopefully grady will have a good off season ,bulk up some,maybe a place in the 2nd row then?

I think if wants to do well in the game, i feel secondrow will be his best postion.He has the height and tackles well which i feel are his strong points.I think Tom Kelly,Allen,Varkulis,Haggerty,and Kavanagh can play secondrow, so he needs to play a step above these players.I hope Grady can improve and wish him luck.

Maybe abit more pie eating, and beefing up he could be a good one.

I would have Kavanagh as second row on a permanent basis next year, he's always better when he starts and plays a full game.

Agree VM. I think the easiest way for us to succeed in SL (if we're there) is with a real mean pack. By moulding Kavanagh into a permanent back-rower, we can achieve this!

I'd take Kav, Allen, Gerrard and Heckenberg from our current forwards to SL if we do so happen to reach it.

I agree more effective and his best postion is not prop.He plays well at loose forward aswell.
