Marwan has just posted on twitter that these 3 players have left! Interesting.

Think everyone knew about Eden going back East anyway, can only think that with Shannon this due to the concussion injury and a real shame for him as when he was fit & healthy he was some player. As for Smith the pretty obvious reason is that he was garbage and one of the most disappointing hyped up players I've ever seen pull on a red shirt.

Frees up some salary cap, oh if only we had a big name full back waiting for a work visa it would make more sense

Yeah i'm happy with this as i see Fages a much better player then Smith! Smith though on this day is class but he's just not settled in. Mcpherson also makes sense as he's been limited to few appearances in the time he's been here. I wonder who's going to be responsible for goal kicking duties?

Does Evalds kick at all? other than that Lee would be the obvious choice, the recruitment of a top class kicker for next season would appear to be a huge priority. Oh no wait Marc Sneyd is coming home

Hope Smith doesn't go on loan to a team who potentially are going to be scrapping with us in our current position, I would have thought if he has been freed and is on the open market Bradford would have been the obvious choice.

Thats the danger with Smith i think we all know he can produce the goods and put him a lesser side like bradford(not offence) he'll probably run the game. On Evalds i have no idea maybe Locke can kick when he arrives but how long that will be i have no idea.

Smith has gone back to Wakefield on loan!

Smith is training with Wakefield today.

I said when you signed him that he was great at Wakefield because he was happy and settled there which meant he played his best Rugby in years.
Early career at Paramatta he was happy and played great
Cronulla - not happy - poor form
Wigan - not happy - poor form
Wakefield - V Happy - Great form
Salford - not happy - poor form

Although Smith didn't set the world on fire at Salford, I also think he was made a scapegoat when the team has been under performing in general. You could realistically say Chase has been garbage all year too. With a few exceptions. They both fall into the same pigeon hole. I think maybe Smith wears his heart on his sleeve and when he's down it really shows. You don't become a bad player over half a season, and he's certainly not a bad player. Wakey have done good business over this. Taking the dosh when it was needed and taking him back for the rest of the season, where I hope he kicks-on and keeps them above Bradford. (But not us )

I'm suprised that we've loaned Smith back to another team that's struggling at the wrong end of the table. I hope this move doesn't come back to bite us on the .

For the record, I would never use the word 'booty' deliberately.

im gutted about smith as i was looking forward to seeing him this year and the first two games he was quality but since the home game against saints hes not done much which im gutted about but i wish him well. Mcpherson i feel sorry for him as he put 100% everytime but injurys just got in his way. But at least this puts a gap in our salary and shut everyone up about going over it. Smart business Doc

We obviously needed to free up a quota space. If Wakefield were the only bidders for Tim Smith, what else could the club do?

I guess if you had signed Kirmond as well then Smith may have adjusted better, as there's no doubt Kirmond hasn't been playing the same without Smith.

Sshhhh! We don't use the K word on here in case it wakes Red League up.

Mcpherson has gone back too Australia! Will he still count towards the cap?
