No chance Frawley goes - BA likes/rates him and made him captain for a game last season.

If we go for anyone it will be Watkins IMO.

I agree. We currently bat deep at half back (Croft, Frawley, Connor, Sinfield) but we're light in the 2nd row, which is a far more attritional position. Watkins makes more sense, and if anybody is well positioned to strike a deal it would be Blease.

This was something Matt Shaw came up with in a largely nonsensical article. The pre-season training trip will have been booked and paid for a long time ago.

I'm sure it was but either way it's surely an unnecessary large expense for a club with particularly shaky finances, having recently stayed afloat by selling off 3 of it'main assets and going cap in hand to their supporters.. seems irresponsible.

Yep. MjM makes a fair point, but there is a broader theme here. Salford have been flirting with financial disaster for at least a couple of years and in their desire to continue their excellent form on the field they have been guilty of living beyond their means.

Sadly familiar situation playing out at Salford.

Nobody has mentioned Macdonald
Would be interesting to see him come back. When all said and done, he is a classy centre.

We don't need him.
And he's a prick.

Don`t think we will drop the likes of Newman, Hanley or Connor to accommodate him.
But I do agree he is a very good centre on his day.
I reckon he`s blotted his copybook the last time he was here.
Watkins or Stone for me.

How can we take Macdonald or Stone?
We don't have a quota space available.
Or is there dispensation on quota spots as well as salary cap?

Matt Shaw reporting that is a possibility.

Quota dispensation has been mentioned but as far as I know not approved yet
