Any body no if there’s any truth in us going for lui agen I would be surprised if they let him go having just got rid of obrain and tbh I have only watch lui when he’s played Agnest us and he hasn’t really looked real quality he looked ok but not worth paying loads for I’d rather see us go in for Matty Smith I think him and McGuire would work let smith control the game and McGuire play off the cuff if we bring a half back In it needs to be a composed half that controls the game

Robert lui is a awesome player but if Kr signed him he would be in same situation, in a team who cannot be bothered to give 100% on the field.. he like Maguire can only play great if forwards and everyone else in team gives 110% effort me personally would go for a forward from them keep faith in Atkins he deserves it

Lui isnt an awesome player but he's better than what you have and more importantly for you it would weaken Salford further and make them strong candidates for relegation

We're apparently looking at Matty Russell of Warrington, who's fallen down they're pecking order.

I'd maybe look at a loan deal first, but I'd definitely be looking at him, as I think he's a decent player. Who could fill in quite a few roles in the back division, and given he's only 24, the right age.

Though we're not the only one's looking at him?aaa

Well we’re apparently signing that Aussie prop form manly , Robert Lui , Drew Hutchison aswell Id love to see Any of them happen but just can’t see it hopefully Vaivai will add some strick power to the team

always liked Russell, makes good yards,

Matty Russell? No ta. Not a bad player by any means but winger/ full back is the least of our worries. If we feel the current imcumbents ain’t up to the job then there is Dagger and Oakes waiting in the wings.

Apparently we put in bids for Hutchinson and Lui last week, both were obviously turned down.

And apparently we are monitoring Salford property Daniel Murray (currently on loan at Halifax). As one of our current prop's (no name), is planning to retire at the end of the season.
I'm probably wrong on this. But by my reckoning Quinlin, Minns, Heffernan, Carney, Mulhern, Blair, Greenwood, Scruton, Clarkson, Kavanagh, Donaldson and some others. Are out of Contract at the end of this season.

So it would appear.

Oh no.

On a more relevant note.What is everyone's plans for Friday? Big breakfast at wetherspoons and few ales then get to ground in good time. Few more scoops then either celebratory drinks or commiserations whichever way it pans out?

Latest accounts came out today. Anyone had a look?

Boristas minions out in force tonight.Are you going on Friday DGM? Fancy a pint?Not being disingenuous,genuine offer

I love a balance sheet.

Nope, watching at home in Leeds with the family. I haven’t been to CP since 1997. Appreciate the offer though.

Nowt wrong with a family weekend.. Has there ever been a forum meet? I frequent another sports forum and they have a north and south event every year and it's good to put faces to names..Surprising how the ones you expect to dislike are generally good company in real life?

I expect to dislike those who post as if they are writing on toilet walls.

Ah the Doncaster delicate soul.i bow to your superior knowledge of toilet wall musings?

I committed myself to fitting a kitchen over the holiday weekend so I'll be going there then about 12 making an excuse to go get materials and go to the match then return at 3

Earning a few bob or for friends/family? If we somehow manage the win then you'll be flying through the job on your return or if we lose lots of banging and crashing to lose frustration?I'm not ashamed to admit I'm really looking forward to it. Reading all the press releases and HDM and forums and radio etc.Think we took it for granted a little last few year but our Championship penance has made this more of an occasion (for me anyway).Dreading losing even though as underdogs it's likely but there is that glimmer of a glorious win? As a wise man once said "it's the hope that kills you" 2 days off now so whatever lies ahead I will enjoy it

It's still an earner but yeah it's a family job I'm looking forward to the game not expecting to win but looking forward to the cool headed Jewitt deal with the intensity of the derby

This is a post you made last week Craig on the locked thread, I thought it worthy of a response seen as FC just filed their accounts & reported a £285k profit. Always good to put rumours to bed rather than let them fester.

All the best for tomorrow. May the best team win.

Fcs books concern me not.Im just a fan of KR. Appreciate the sentiment over the game and yes hopefully no controversy and best team wins

No problem, just responding to the comment posted re finances. Have a good one.

Had Rovers been in SL, that would’ve been 500k the other way would it not? Great effort that.

Pearson in today’s HDM :

But while winning a trophy cannot be factored into financial planning each year, Pearson says Hull are now in a position where they expect to break even each season regardless of trophy success, with any on-field success only serving to help FC post a profit, as they did last season.
The balance sheet is still weak because of some historical debt that is there, but on a year on year basis the club are in a much healthier position and we are looking like being self-sustainable.”
Over the last six or seven years we have made some significant losses so it is nice to be showing a profit, even if it is on the back of getting to Wembley once again,” Pearson told the Mail.
“We are now in a position where if we have a reasonable season we should be breaking even and if we can get to a final we’ll be showing a profit and that’s always been the goal, to make this club self-sustainable.”
