Salford Red Devils RLFC. [quote="Gotcha":y7izhg01]Salford won't win Super League in my lifetime. Even saying in jest they would sounds stupid.[/quote:y7izhg01]:



Major signing. Made up the Doc has finally landed a world class player, it hasn't been through the lack of trying.

He won't be the last either.

Dont think you are going to get that many comments about breaking the salary cap. Everyone knows you are and that others probably are too. Its a fact of life.

We wont be the first we certainly wont be the last. Shouldn't we be pointing fingers at the rule makers rather than the rule breakers?

I feel a little bit underwhelmed with this news if I’m being honest, it's probably due to all the excitement and euphoria of signing Irish International superstar Michael Platt a couple of weeks back. icon_wink.gif

You just need a coach who can mould a team of individuals into a team now.

We are still a few players short and a year or two away from challenging in my opinion. Like Harris said we haven't even reached the half way point in our development yet.

Great signing for you guys. Does this mean Mullaney is leaving?

There's no doubting the blokes talent but in not sure how good a signing he is for you. The Salford games I've seen this year although not many you look to be lacking in the forwards , particularly hooker and probably another prop and a SR.

From the outside it looks as though the Dr has gone all out for his star signing rather than recruiting in the positions the team needs.

Great to see the 'player drain' going the other way for a change! Let's hope we see a few more NRL stars coming here. If Bowen stays on for another year we'll have 2 outstanding NRL fullbacks playing in Superleague. I thought the days of this sort of signing were over. Glad to say I was wrong. Well done the Dr! icon_thumb.gif

I've got to say it was very generous of the RFL to throw £250,000.00 toward the contract. eusa_clap.gif

Do you not think that maybe the Dr gets a list of targets from the Coaching staff? Or do you think he goes out and buys random players for the coach to squeeze into a team?

As for the players we need? We need pace in our backline. We need another quality winger/centre and probably a replacement for Gleeson come the end of the year. Forwards are far from our problem positions, with the exception of Hooker, which Tomkins has filled.
