id have tim smith,would of liked Gaskell too,rumours of ryan stig but I think they are just that,rumours.

would free up 180k of wage plus 200k+ transfer fee,and marc sneyd as part of deal

Wooooooaaaah! That's just crazy talk!

If Rangi is on £180000 a year at cas and if what I'm led to believe the transfer fee is £250000 thats £430000 cas have saves/made on Rangi leaving, that is going to help you big time for recruitment.

very true

However if you look at the transfer fee as split across two years that's £125k per year for players, which is likely to be really only two players you're able to get.

Personally, I'd get a replacement half for Chase (must) then a loose, prop, centre,

But won't you be saving Chase's salary also?

I see your point but if we go down next year it will end up costing us far more. A silly deal for the club to do imho

Either way Salford have got themselves the best half back in SL.

On topic, I'd ship Ellis out and use the Chase money added with Ellis wages and bring in a quality half back pairing. Not sure who is available and some scouting would be needed but Hull look to have got one decent HB in Miller.... Must be a few in the same mould floating about in OZ.

I think we have signed Luke Dorn who will probably play FB with Tansey at 6

Then we need to strengthen up in the centres and front row. Chubbs is great but we don't have a real big battering ram - I've been looking into some OOC aussies we could recruit but there's no quality there - if we can attract quality

I'm sorry but if we start our season next year with Dorn and Tansey as our Halves we are in trouble. Very underwhelmed at that prospect.

more likely to be dorn and sneyd at 6 and 7

Can't say I know too much about Sneyd tbh, I was hoping Dorn would be signing as a backup/rotation/sub player.

If the club has got rid of Rangi for what is being said on here next year it's a disgrace... Simple as !!!

Could be Dorn and Stig and Sneyd as back-up.

who would you "buy" then? Since you must have discovered we have more money than people are telling us
considering we can only really offer 1 year delas when we may face the axe

I wouldn't have sold a world class player for peanuts myself which could cost the club millions if we lose our SL status.

As we did if we actually scouted players worldwide and not just grab an over the hill London player we may be able to come up with another find (as Hull have with 20 Year old ? Jacob Miller). There are the players about if we could be bothered to look.

I think there's a little more to it than being bothered to look.
It's not the same as buying players on FIFA
we didn't "get rid" of Chase, he got offered a better contract elsewhere
