| 2011 is a Huge year for the club especially if we finish bottom this season. Basically we have to speculate to accumulate and spend 100% Salary Cap to show to the outside world that we are stepping from the depths of mediocrity into a sparkling brand new era.
In short we are nothing like good enough at this level and I feel for the Chairman & Directors in the enormous task they have ahead. The team needs solid investment and not just a tin of Band Aid.
Assuming 24 in the squad for me there are just 6 players good enough to hack it in SL 2011. We have to forget emotional ties on several players & somehow Mr Simms & Co have to find 11 players of quality to come in. At the moment I feel this is a reasonable start :-
1
2
3 GIBSON
4
5 BROUGHTON
6 HOLDSWORTH
7 RATCHFORD
8 CASHMERE
9
10
11
12 SIDLOW
13
14
15
16
17
18 FITZPATRICK
19 LITTLER
20 BOYLE
21 JEWITT
22 ADAMSON
23 M.SMITH
24 PARKER
18-24 for me are Flexible especially with the possibility of young talent coming through who deserve a chance.
Your views appreciated especially on who we bring in.

Never get that many new quality players anyway.

I'd keep Swain, usually gives 100% and is one of our best tacklers and is always keen to run in the ball when the forwards are tired, personally I think since hes come hes been one of our better players.

I'd keep Henry as I doubt we'll be signing Greg Inglis anytime soon.

Who would you expect us to sign that's better than Henry and Swain?

| Plenty about FL if we want to reach the next level. If we are lingering near the bottom even with the new Stadium I am concerned that our on field performances wont help out Franchise hopes. The fact that Wakey & Cas are well down the field with their new ground is our best source of salvation.

| If, and they are always big ifs with salford, the rumour of stephen wild coming to salford is true i'd let swain go and get another aussie in. I would keep hold of Henry, though, as i don't think there are many better centres in super league. If we also get andrew ryan, then that would give us adamson, sidlow, wild, parker and ryan, and that's assuming we don't retain sibbit/littler, we possibly have some pretty good back row options.

It was a genuine question EB, not trying to undermine your original point.
Just not sure what names you had in mind - I'm nowhere near as well up on the NRL as I used to be, and have never been anywhere near as well up on the NRL as others on here.

We've already turned him down, last I heard he could be off to Rovers.
