Its great that we are being linked with a player like tomkins, like you i think its unlikely but another good show of intent from the doctor.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



He's has an interesting approach, although he will have to be careful, otherwise he may get his wrists slapped if someone starts to claim tapping up before the deadline.

In the end if he wants a big name to sign he may end up going for an aussie, who is due to retire but is prepared to give it one last season.

I don't think Salford would really want Morley and no one in SL is going to be able to offer Tomkins more than the NRL.

Roby is contracted for a few years yet.

But looking outside of the box, how about a return for Scott Moore to SL, a quality hooker, if a bit on the wild side??

And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg

EDIT TO

"I think you'd probably be wiser going the Warrington route of steady purchasing"'"


Steady improvement, steady purchasing, its the same thing - You can't have one without the other.

Yes, Wire did it, Widnes and Hull are doing it, Salford are going to be doing it, only in a slightly more hurried manner....Like I said though, the problem you will find is that when the Doctor eventually collars a big name signing, he's going to be paying him a salary that will make Matt King's supposed big money deal look like pocket money - He'll then be left with peanuts to spread out among the rest of the squad.

I admire the ambition you are showing - Anything that makes the league more competitive can only be a good thing, but you get the impression that your new owner wants to be an Abramovich figure who wants a sudden overnight fix. Unfortunately, in a salary capped sport like RL, that's nigh on impossible.

If you need a decent accountant though, I hear Simon Moran has employed a belter in recent years.... icon_wink.gif

You're right, but we've probably got around million pound spare on next years salary cap. I can't imagine we're currently spending more than million on players wages, with Nero's and Wild's combined wages probably equal to 200,000 or more. The maths isn't hard. We've got room for true superstar and few high quality players, in addition to the existing squad.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



Is 75k a year and a racehorse within the rules?

Not sure about racehorses, but unlimited concert tickets are definitely allowed.... icon_lol.gif
