Salford sign Gavin Bennion from Rochdale,he must have improved.See Salford have released Jordan Walne,would be no surprise if he ended up here.

Here's a conspiracy theory ..... Beaumont & Koukash buy another club ....

Walne signed for Giants.

Thought that was his brother Adam

Correct.

Well I didn't say which one and just making sure you were paying attention to the finer details.

Latest re-signing Jacob Fairbank.

Happy with that.

When he knuckles down Jacob can stand out at this level.
Had a good understanding and offload with Jonno when he was playing fullback, less so with Sharp not coming into the line as much so hopefully they can work on that as it is potent weapon.

I'm reading that Harry Kidd, a forward from All Golds will be the new signing. Can't comment on the player as I haven't a clue who he is....but I really do hope this won't be the level of other signings to come

Do you know anything about him potential/promise etc don't condemn him being a champ 1 player give the guy a chance

Harry is a prop/ second row with size and potential. Worth looking at Champ 1- Comp getting stronger year on year.

As I said, I don't know him so didn't comment on the actual player. I'm sure he has potential and I hope he proves to be a great signing, BUT, does this signing excite? Will it have people buying season tickets? And will a player with potential take us to the next level and get us competiting in arguably the toughest championship we've ever had?

Even the announcement of this signing has been laboured. Something said on Friday, 1 clue on Saturday, then announce. You only have to look at Rochdales twitter over the last week and they're building hype for every signing they make. Might seem a very minor point but the hype around the Micky Sio signing was great, his one not so much

We would all like to see top names etc being signed but we are back to that word 'realism' again regarding funding of such signings. The Board appear to have a clear mandate to manage the club within it's means rather than boom and bust.
The new signing may have been playing Championship 1 but all players have to start somewhere and sometimes a little bit of unknown helps the team and also surprises the opposition.
We have to have faith in RM's judgement as a coach- which to press has seen him being nominated twice in the three years for coach of the season in the Championship, winning it once.
Like I say DNAFax I get where you are coming from, but we simply haven't got the financial clout at this time I fear.
