Manu replaced Flannery

Dixon was offered the same contract at Saints as he was at Salford but he decided he wanted more game time so backed himself by going to Salford, think its working out well for him .

I quite liked both of them, but neither will turn into top class players and neither will really come back to bite us on the bum.

Ahsurst is not good enough and I've not given him a moments thought since he left.

I thought Dixon did enough in his last season to earn a new deal. He's playing well at Salford but I've lost no sleep over him not being here.

On the subject of Salford, it seems they have been very busy behind the scenes and will have some new faces next season.

Hock's reportedly turning his back on the Eels to sign for Salford.

Correct

What with this Hock rumour and the talk of Briscoe not going to Cronulla, I can only assume that there are new salary cap rules in place for next season - a marquee player allowance, perhaps.
