Great signing, getting serious this, I think Salford could turn into the next Melbourne, I don't jest either, people will go on about their crowds, but in reality, they don't matter, once they start taking on the big boys, they will come back and new fans will be made too.

Go Salford.

Although slightly off thread it would not surprise me if your chairman gets called a vacillator.

It does seem habit forming.

Perhaps the good signing by Salford is habit forming.

They'll breach the salary cap? You're probably right yeh.

And which part of any of them is not being open? The difference between Taylor, Paea and Dobson is that contracts were offered to the first 2 and talks had taken place. With Dobson, nothing has been discussed.

This here be the truth. I expect the bulk of the signings this season (and, for the benefit of those people who have decided Dr Koukash is a fraud, I will add 'if there are to be any') will be forwards. I'm always a tiny bit surprised we get linked with players like Chase and Dobson because, although they'd be welcome additions to the squad and probably better than what we have at the moment, I think (or hope) Marc Sneyd and Theo Fages could develop into a cracking half-back partnership given a chance.

Due to the draw of the NRL these days, Which will see very few of the best players even consider leaving, This is a good signing.

Its no shame not to have been getting much game time at Melbourne, They are a quality outfit and he will prove a good signing, The task they have (Not sure about his contract details), Is keeping the likes of Jodie Broughton to play outside the players like him and Gleeson.

A good first signing, And as said. Someone nobody had mentioned, Maybe all the smoke fired up in the press is masking some serious work finding players Brian Noble wants.

As for Dobson, Its common knowledge Hull Kr aren't exactly flush of late, And should the doctor keep knocking, The door will probably open.

Salford could really do to get Junior S'au over now though, Rather than trying to blood about 15 new players into the side in the off season.

From the footage on the website, does look to be a Carney clone .... and I mean that as a compliment. He'll also need someone to run off the shoulder of though; not many of those line breaks came from his doing ....

Not sure where he's going to fit in doing that defensive stuff though ...... that'll confuse the other Salford players if he tries to stop opposition players scoring

Encouraging for Salford fans to get a serious signing onboard after the insane amount of speculation thats been going around about pretty much every player going. He will be a good signing, anyone who has watched a bit of him will know that passing isnt his thing he'd rather try and run over the top of someone. If it works great if not he can look greedy but tbh his passing skills arent the best which might be why he takes this approach. Still, will be one of the better overseas players in SL next year id have thought.

Most Salford fans have been saying this for a while now. All the speculation has come from the Media, stirring agents, or opposition fans. It doesn't help that a lot of RL fans bought into the media feeding frenzy. Our Chairman has confirmed at least four signings with others still ongoing, but he wouldn't reveal names. I think Koukash and Noble between them know how the media works and have deliberately kept future signings under wraps.

Yep, players like Sa'u and Tonga that have shown themselves to be strong performers in the past but have been absent for quite a while will be the ones still to come over; and those who see it as an experience, or a stepping stone between reserves and the NRL.

Good signing overall, I'd say it's a bit risky as he hasn't been playing well for a while, but players are obviously capable of recapturing that form when they have the time.

He would of been playing but probably in the reserves so he'll be still match fit. Saying that the NRL reserve grade probably matches the quality of roughly half of the SL teams, look where Rangi Chase came from, and he's playing for our national team now.

You can't just blame the media, Marwan was telling Salford fans that Rangi Chase was in the bag. And thats a long way away from the truth.

Steve Gill showed Cas fans an Email from Marwan stating he wouldn't be making an offer for Chase or Clark after expressing an interest.

Why would he go to the trouble of emailing Cas to say that when he's told the Salford supporters at a fans meeting the deal is 200% done?
