Why is the Salford club acting so dysfunctional?? I read on the Facebook wall and see so many disillusioned supporters. Why is the club acting like this?

Just to clarify - it's highly unlikely the Leeds offer was a bigger one than what he was on at Salford. But no doubt, in his mind, it's a more secure position. My guess is that he was hoping there would be a nibble from an NRL club while he was back over there but, evidently, nothing came through.

Moon has been quoted saying that Leeds made an approach 3 weeks before the regular season ended. I think you could be right about Moon also looking for offers back home but I'd imagine the transfer fee was a stumbling block so he took the Leeds offer. As for your money comment I'm not disputing his monthly pay being similar but I'm sure a 3 year deal with Leeds equates to more money than the 12 months he had remaining on his Salford contract. Furthermore I also think Moon will be aware that he has a much better chance of banking more team achievment bonuses with the Rhino's.

Quote: theredshed "Lot of common ground here GT and I accept your point about Moon possibly being unsettled by events at the club. I also agree that improvements are needed but the reality is we will continue to lose quality players when bigger clubs come knocking regardless of new owners, greater financial security and being more professional. The way to stop being a selling club is being a big club ourselves. Unfortunately we haven't been a big club for 36 years since we had a very wealthy owner in a semi-professional sport. What hope have we got of keeping our best players when bigger clubs than Salford can't prevent it?'"


Can't argue with that at all. Time will tell whether we can turn ourselves around into a big club or not.

Personally i fear the worst.For to long now the club as stalled and gone backwards,especially the last 10 or so years.Basically from the start of super league....Wilky put his trust in the wrong people,we all know now who they are,the proof is there,but there is now two generations lost to the club and it will soon be three.The life and soul of any rugby league team is the local schools and more important the amateur clubs.Neglect them and you will forever be banging your head against the wall,get in there,help them to help you,get one lad interested in playing and soon you have his pals,mum and dad taking an interest in our sport.Salford have never ever done this,ask yourself,why always Wigan,Leeds,Hull,Warrington,Saints,and i know its an exception to the rule but even Leigh,Oldham etc produce top super league players.Don`t start with Myler Ratchford Turner,these are not Salford lads.Who was the last Salford born to pull on the Salford shirt and international shirt.Get in the press,weekly at least,daily if possible,good or bad,but get in there.Get in your local community,tell them how great you and your amateur clubs are,what they are doing for there community.DO NOT charge for players turning up at charity events,you tend not to be invited again.Have we got a chance? Not with the people in charge now,Peel an Salford council?nah i don1t think so.Us lot? imo the only hope left.

Having read about a suggested nepotism on another thread this signing of Moon by Parish seems to demonstrate a kindred spirit and lack of any professional standard by Moon,who was sponsored by Steuer Gregson for the 2012 campaign,the people who took the club to court for what would seem to be a paltry sum by todays standards.
Moon was wanted by Cronulla so seemingly comes up with a 'homesick' ruse,but the ensuing RFL Tribunal instruct him to see out his contract.
I have viewed the photographs on Facebook but cannot see Moon at Gorilla Warfare or Hattons Gym.
Has he failed to appear for pre-season training ?
If he is in breach of contract why hasn't the club given him at least a little bit of grief instead of allowing him easy access to Leeds ?
If neither Parish or Moon wanted to be at Salford why did he come ?
How easy is it to ignore a ruling by the RFL ?
A very poor show by Moon who has shown a very poor example to his teammates - particularly the younger players.May be interesting to see how the team spirit at Leeds is affected.
At least McDermott is prepared for him immediately he steps out of line again -rlLeeds Coachrl
