With cap restrictions, he will come cheap, so on that basis understandable. We do not have room under the cap to bring in big names at this point in the season. He will spend most of his time in the stands, but is experienced whatever anyone thinks of his abilities. He gives cover across the three quarters and full back if needed.

What is the obsession with Salford fans wanting to play our bright youngsters out of position? Manfredi had a good solid first and only game which justified his signing by Noble at the time.

Evalds is nowhere near ready for Super League yet, he needs at least a full season in the Championship if not two.

Can't underestand why people who never watch the junior sides always call for the younger players to get a chance.If anyone bothered they would have seen Evalds former tapered off dramatically last year and I would imagine the coaching staff don't think he's done enough in training.

Bit of a shame what has happened to Evalds. Has gone from being arguably the best player in the academy side that finished 2nd in the top division, to playing in the 2nd tier reserve team comp the following season, followed by 3 months without playing any rugby at all. Hopefully he can get back to enjoying his rugby again at Barrow.

If only Vievers had played him at the start of last season instead of signing Jack Murphy......

This ..
Brian spend all our cash , and presumably - other SL clubs won't give us their better loan players themselves with the Busy Easter - CC - Magic Weekend fixtures coming up . we've little experienced cover other than Williams , Walton's injured , and the promising 20's lads are getting game time & toughened up in the championship , - it's the Wigan way , even Wigan took on James as cover this season , and Platts a local lad, with >200 games SL experience and at 30 he'll be one our younger signings ... there's a refreshing nomality .

exactly the way I am looking at it pal.
