My God Williams, Broughton and Fisiiahi as a back three is going to take some beating for pace. From what you read of him he's an attacking #1 rather than a brilliant last line of defense.

Forlan with Long as his coach would/will be one of the better halves in the competition though I do worry that a half back pairing of him at 24 and Sneyd at 21 is a little on the young side especially when you think that Theo as back up is only a teenager.

Mauro looks like a 60 minute a game player in the Gallen style who has to be a vast improvement on Feka, my hope for him is you don't notice him when he's playing but do when he's not as for me that is the sign of a good front rower.

Dale Ferguson could be a possibility, very decent second row imo, but lost his way last season when Nathan Brown tried to play him at prop.

Excellent second row, never in a million years a prop, he hasn't played prop since NB left.

Giant's have signed Ta'ai and Ferres and still have Chan, Lawrence and O'Donnell in the back row as Paul Anderson is looking to make the pack bigger. Fergy played for the Knights at the end of the season so a very decent player who probably needs more footy than he is going to get. Would be a decent signing for most teams.

Let's wait till the take over is done before we start speculating as all this might not happen yet. Please god I hope I am wrong but it just seems like at the moment it's taking far longer than it should so there must be something stopping deal going through. Andwould be peel or sale that could put spanner in works on this so called take over. It's seems to me a typical Salford manoeuvre that creates more issues than any easy takeover to take place.

Considering Nero and Wild are likely to retire at the end of 2013, Ferguson could be a useful squad addition in the long term.

Your also been linked with Karl Pryce who is still without a club after he was released from us at the end of last season. Not sure if it's true but apparently he's been waiting for you to find an investor so he can complete the deal.

I'm pretty certain all out of contract and possible loanees will have been sounded out at some point .
Pryce's agent may be keen on a Salford deal but will Veivers aspirations have moved onto other targets now?
