Largely true, but you can't go throwing them all in together. They all tried their hearts out on Monday, but when they come off the bench at the same time Wire bring on J Clark, Philbin, Akauola and Livett, there is only going to be one outcome.

One of the lads wasn't even in the first team squad until we played Hudds at the end of March and we needed to name a 17 man squad (still ended up naming an injured player on the bench so effectively went with 16), and this is from a 30 man squad

Plan was to run with 7 main props, of those the following are injured

Scruton
Jewitt
Masoe
Garbutt
Lannon
Greenwood

Maria is the right signing at the right time - needs must on this occasion

I thought Hastings had signed for 2 years but appears its only 1, Salford are in the brown stuff financially can they afford to keep him?

Said before would not touch Hastings with a barge pole couple of years ago, but kept his head down and sorted himself out. Would Sign him tomorrow, real class half back.

Definitely loyal to Salford. Turned down Wigan as a way to thank Salford and the fans for giving him a chance when it looked like his career was coming to an end. Would love him at Leeds but a return to the NRL must surely carry more weight

Let's get something right. Wigan wanted Hastings for more than one year and the player wanted to keep his options open hoping for a return to NRL.

It had absolutely nothing to do with loyalty to Salford.

Time moves on and maybe Hastings will take up a lucrative offer from a Super League club possibly Leeds. For sure he will not be at Salford next year.

He is certainly a player we should be looking at. Quality half. Of course the pull of the NRL will be there but we should be willing to step in should it not come off.

Thought he spoke well on Sky last night too. Came across well.

Only downside is he looks like Sam Tomkins!
