Do you know what....

...you're not posting anymore?

Did we need to get Brad Arthur to tell us the starting props are not good enough?
Least he has the Balls to call it.

A lad called Furner told them that and a lot more, didn’t end too well…..!

I noticed Arthur say that as well. He clearly thinks we need more than one prop, and he used the term 'starting.'

Big if, but if Gannon can stay healthy for more than 5 minutes and Littlewood and Ruan develop we have a couple some younger backrowers with more size about them.

One thing I would desperately hope we do in junior development is look for bigger lads. This seems to have been a problem for years, compounded by our two most recent coaches obsessing about middles. I can't think of another club where Donaldson would ever have been seen as a starting prop, which is where we were at the start of the year when just one of our props was injured.

I’ve been told Calumn Watkins was seen viewing a house in Castleford last week. Maybe there’s some truth in the rumours he’s coming back

Why would he want to live in Cas Vegas?
I think has was probably looking at the burnt out Sierra on the drive and the old couch in the front garden that the kids were bouncing up and down on

indeed. imo he doesn't leave salford

Agreed, just a bit of mischievous gossip from the usual methinks.

Think any Salford player that has a good game against Leeds is automatically 'on his way here...'unless its Nene....

Give it time and he'll be linked.

So very tedious.

I don't know if there is any genuine interest in bringing Kallum back this time. But I do know he was very close to coming back last year. He also still lives in Ponte.

Peter Smith saying Roberts will exit at the end of the season and also that speculation linking us with Watkins and Tapau is false.

Good.

I don't think we should give any stick to Roberts or to Smith for signing him. He was brought in as a reserve because we didn't have any kids coming through when Smith joined except for 17 year olds. One thing Smith was right about finding incredible is that across the board we had so few club-produced reserves in their early 20s trying to get into the team. We now have a bunch of lads approaching the age when they should be able to put pressure on for starting spots, so there's no need for Roberts. All the best to Luis.

As for Watkins and Tapau, just no. Years too late for either of them. Tapau hasn't been an NRL regular for several years and his best form is almost a decade ago.
