Disturbing little piece in the SUN today, stating that MCB will not be retained by Salford after the 8s and he could be signing for Widnes

Always a possibility with him coming to the end of his contract and it did sit in the back of my mind during this great patch of form. With a hopefully fully for Vidot and Carney next year again I can't see him getting a shot in the first team until evitable injuries occur. I can't see him wanting to wait for this and I'm sure there's plenty of interest elsewhere. Will be another case of letting a promising youngster go which I can see the same for Evalds as well.

Would be ludicrous to let MCB leave.....there is no gaurantee that Vidot will find anything like his previous form as and when he returns to fitness. Watson reported that Vidot is for for selection - MCB's form is keeping him out....why should that change? I can see Johnson leaving but MCB would be a massive mistake.

Caton Brown - signed roughly the same time as Locke - tail end of 2014 , on a 2 1/2 yr deal.

up until this spell he had a rocky time with injury & team selection.

unfortunately the club are obliged In a players final year by May to make a renewed offer or inform them they are not being retained ..

sods- law applies I guess

would people have been so up in arms in April -May ?

in this form it sounds crazy , but the club have to makes calls & operate to a budget.
I wish him well , but am more concerned about Evalds future
