I do wonder how much of McPhersons injury problems have been caused by being rushed back from his inital injury. He was playing with some pretty heavy strapping on his knee for a good long while, when he probably should have been rested.

There is an element of risk in any player. Steve Rapira does improve the squad, so good signing for me.

In fairness, find a whole post by me that does not accept that it's [ipossible[/i.

More pseudo-legal double speak from Normanton's answer to Johnny Cochrane.

Objection overruled!

Someday, somewhere, today’s empires are tomorrow’s ashes.:



Quote: Red-Devils-PAW "You do seem overly concerned at players who have suffered an injury.
I don't know who you would have signed as an alternative.
We could have a sticky and compare the injuries against those players signed by other clubs.
Because of the post above I can start with a Warrington signing as he appears to have sustained more injuries than any player coming to Salford rlHERErl and they have aspirations of being 'Top 4' and seem happy with their head coach and backer.'"


You seem to be missing the point. Warrington are signing Roy Asotasi to [ireplace[/i the injury prone Adrian Morley. We're [iadding[/i injury prone players to our squad.

And, obviously, the problem with injured players is that they need to be replaced, so, given we now appear to have three injury prone forwards, we're going to need to squeeze a couple more under the salary cap to make sure we've got someone to fill in for them. It's a good job we're looking to use the Warrington style 'salary sombrero'.

As an alternative, well, looking at the stats I've been able to find, that young Jewitt at Salford seems a better bet than Morley. And if we do feel the need to sign some more 'experience' for the front row, Garreth Carvell was up for grabs but we only made a tentative enquiry about him, focusing efforts on signing Morley instead. Carvell tore us apart at the HJ earlier this season. Mozzer didn't.

Still, let's keep fingers crossed and hope that they have better years this coming season than they have over the past three. I'm still optimistic about two of them. Less so about the third.

Roy Asotasi is also injury prone so it's not a100% healthier replacement.
