God no, Maybe a couple of years ago but not now.
I used to rate him but seriously gone of the boil and something wrong with his attitude, put him together with hock and you are asking for trouble.

Been told today Liam Hood 2yr deal agreed just needs Hunslet to sign him off got alot to prove but is more than capable imo

That has too be a lie, I mean there is someone on another thread who is the oracle who says we have only let Matty Ashurst go because we have spent the full cap allowance so unless where paying Hood in washers he can't have signed.

I'd have preferred us to go for a more established player but I'll trust in Harris's judgement as he's done well with who he has brought in so far and I doubt any of us would have though Griffin would have done so well.

Its no lie mate the only way it wont happen is if hunslet wont let him out of the deal he signed a few weeks ago for next year which wont happen as theyve told him they wont stand in his way if a super league club come in for him as for the salary cap cant imagine he would be on more than about 30k a year

You're right ,it's a bit underwhelming.
As regards the cap,we must be pushing it close but I don't think releasing Ashurst necessarily means we can't afford him,just that funds are allocated to a new player in a different position.

Doubt he'll even be on that CW.
When you spend the money we have on the Likes of BJB -Locke Dobson etc,you have to shop smart for the other squad players .dispite these high profile players Salford have an eye for SL players who dropped down a division but still fairly young with potential -Johnson - Walton -Josh Griffin- Liam Hood fits that bill I guess.

Yeah your probably bang on heard a wisper that BJB is on 120k a yr with the Devil's and only half that at Leeds which isnt a surprise as the leeds ceo does everything on the cheap

Perhaps we could solve the salary cap situation by playing Rangi chase at hooker which would give him more freedom to work his magic while Dobson leads the pack. Rangi was a no9 before Brown changed his position. Locke at fullback and Evalds at halfback with Dobson and Fages the interchange hooker.

Seems that HKR have eyes for Lunt, someone we've been heavily linked with...

That's a bumer he's someone i would like to see at our place!

Just because they want him, doesn't mean he will join. It probably puts them up there with us in terms of matching an offer (didn't realise they received £100k for Hodgson) but I imagine Salford would be a more exciting proposition with all the potential.

Lunt and Hood for the hooking role next season?
