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

Dispensation.

In that case there'll be plenty of interest in their overseas players.
I'd definitely take Lafai. Wrong side of 30, but still quality.
I like Shane Wright as well.

Didn’t we do something similar with Wellington Albert when Widnes got into difficulty. Anyone signed from Widnes was given exemption from cap and quota for the length of that intial contract.

Salford should have done the honourable thing end of last season and stepped down from SL and allowed London to keep their place.

With the IMG grading system this makes should not have happened and makes the game look bad

It doesn`t look like we will be signing Watkins or any other Salford player unless we are well under the cap.
A meeting of owners on Tuesday, saw the dispensation proposals thrown out - despite Salford being among the clubs to vote in favour of them being put in place. Many clubs believe allowing clubs to spend beyond the salary cap restrictions in place would damage competition integrity.
