I heard that Leeds were interested in him last year before he signed an extention... Webb is getting on and very weak... I for one don't know what BK is, he's not a fullback and not a stand off, possibly a winger or centre but not a fullback, positional sense is attrocious!!! I think we should attempt to bring in someone like Scott Grix who can give a really good pass and defend really well

Then of course release Scruton, Hargreaves gets some stick but with a nasty prop (Nas?) or Evarn Tuimavave (N'Castle Nights) and a hard, consistent prop (Jaiman Lowe - Storm / O'Meley) he and Kopczak could really follow and make inroads... With the infux of cash i think it would be relatively easy to bring in these sorts of players... And we need a loose forward, i for one would put Joseph (who, from Swinton!! looks fitter than all of our players) 13, he has a great pass and put Langers in the back row or prop (been carrying well so far) what do you guys think, personally i think its better to change things now before we get too established together

Lama Tasi at Sydney Roosters is off contract this year and he's a unit but he's be harder to attract because of his age

Great post Badger. Agree with it all, you certainly hit the nail on the head.

One thing though, it's all very well saying get the youngsters signed up but who says they will want to if this malaise continues?

If I were a promising young player at the Bulls I'd be very careful what I signed. When you look at how the likes of Atkins, Patrick, Wardle and George Burgess have done since leaving they've gone onto better things (and more money). I'd want to see clear signs the club was on the up, rather than people just talking about it.

So far, Elima and Crookes need re-signing. Then focus on the other players. Can't sort out Sammut yet for obvious reasons.

Firstly, we have to give Potter a fair shout. Bad luck with injuries, new signings not fit and struggling to gel, coupled alongside a tough opening run of games says to me that we shouldn't be making decisions on the coaching staff until early May. By the we'll have played everyone once and with a little bit of luck with injuries we'l be able to see how we stand.

Secondly, a former Bulls legend with an intimate knowledge of Salford told a good friend of mine that the problem at both clubs was ultimately the same. The top man was too nice and didn't know enough about rugby league. Any squad/staff overhaul has to start at the top in my view.

Elima, Crookes, Burgess, Donno & Addy should all be offered deals imo.

Jeffries and Sibbit should be let go.

The rest need a good season, although if it wasn't for Crookes' early form i'd have put Ainscough on the top list.

Scrutes is playing poorly at the minute. But we have seen he can put in some quality performances and at his best is punishing in defence. He's had a lot to deal with (Diabetes, several injuries) so I think he deserves a bit more time to find his feet again.

But if it is that simple then we'd owe him alot seen as he'll be on a decent packet and he's signed up to 2014

Up until recently I've had plenty of time for Potter but he does seem to come out with contradictory stuff and more so lately. It may be that he's not so great with the media but then Peter Hood's come out with contradictory stuff too and he's got less excuse. By "top man" I assume you mean the chairman? I guess that takes us back into the debate of who wants the job?

I’m not sure how much about RL the top man needs to know. How much does money bags Moran at Wire know? They need to know how to run a business.

Aye, I'd bet there isn't a coach in SL or NRL who would welcome a "very knowledgeable" chairman getting heavily involved in rugby matters. Dogs and barking spring to mind.
