I also think it will be difficult to maintain the club solidarity Watson has built when so many leave/come in. I rate Watson and think our sport needs more like him so good luck to him.

I like the Atkin signing and I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Brown goes ok. Just not sure about a Lolohea / Brown combination as may not be enough pace there. One player Im surprised no-one has enquired about is Costello at Saints, he aint a world beater but he’s been solid for us and done a job when called upon. Id imagine he’d be low cost in a salary capped sport.

Glad to see the basket of deplorables and their faux controversy and righteous indignation have disappeared from this thread.

Why not? This Salford side has a more attractive and better brand of rugby than anything Wigan served up under Shaun 'knock people out' Wane for starters.

Because winning finals isn't about playing a better brand of rugby. If it was, wire wouldve won 2 grand finals against Wigan and saints would've won this years cup final.

Oh dear...

Seems as though I can't search for previous posts if I'm using my phone (which I currently am) so bear with me princess and I'll try and dig it out for you over the next couple of days.

Bit like your mate Stephanie you do like to set yourself up for a massive fall so more than willing to give you a little push on this occasion.
