I don't know the ins and outs of immigration law, but isn't it possible he could still go and play in Australia or New Zealand? Or France? Or maybe go and play union in South Africa?

It's what I heard and it's been quoted several times on the Turkey. I fully share your stance on sitting back and I'm certainly not jumping to any conclusions and getting giddy. I'm very level headed about our recruitment plans for 2014 and appreciate the difficulty Salford have right now in attracting the star names to Barton.

Very good signing. Will take more than S'au and Dobson to make them anywhere near a top 4 side, though.

Can't see us being top 4 next year tbh? Top 6 if the recruitment is right.

might scrape into the top 8 but noble was a big mistake

Probably because nobody listens and Chase has been linked with a different club every season. If we put out a statement every time it would just get silly.

I'll be very surprised if you finish top 6 next year. It's not just about recruitment, it's about strength in depth.

To finish 6th, who out of Wigan, Wire, Whinos, Hull, Giants or Saints will you finish above? Top 8 should be your short term target.

And Catalans, too much for Salford to do to make the top 6, long way from bottom.

They need to recruit massively and despite having money, it still hard to sign the quality players they need to get there, Hull found this out last year and Salford are this year.

Cant see top six, top eight I would think. It'll take time to gel, especially if you're replacing your pivots. Exciting times ahead though, and hopefully a strong manchester based team!!

Salary cap used already.

League weekly still has it that Chase has signed? The reporter says we understand Salford have already signed Adrian Morley (Warrington), Francis Meli, ( St Helens) Tony Puletua (St Helens), Rangi Chase (Castleford) and are in again for Michael Dobson (Hull Kingston Rovers)

This would still not be coming out in the press if there was nothing in it? I've got a feeling a few Cas fans are going to be eating their words next year despite what your club is telling you.

10 players out of current squad leaving at the end of the season. Salary Cap no where near full.
