| I hope he will play wing as we already have Locke to play full back. He is class though.

| the capture of BJB smacks of us actually having time to look at ooc players and the doc being well advised.
hope this is the sign of things to come
One very happy red!

| 1. Locke
2. Johnson
3 A.N Other
4. Sau
5. BJB
There's some tries there. Pelissier from Catalans seems to be the other Twitter rumour, assuming my Hull to English dictionary is right.

Even if he plays wing, he gives you excellent cover for FB. A good signing for Salford.
I'm sorry to see him leave the Rhinos.

Not heard the Pellisier one myself but would be an improvement on Lee, was hoping that Tomkins might become a full time move. Said somewhere else wouldn't mind getting hold of Caton-Brown from London as he seems to have something about him.

| Got to say I'm really happy with BJB signing. Just what we need. Back line for next season is shaping up nicely. Still need a quality hooker, although I wouldn't be disappointed if Tomkins came on board permanently as one of two.

| As for BJB it's a real step in the right direction, signing young British talent isn't easy but in BJB we have signed a back of real quality. Does make me wonder who on earth is being released at the end of the season as can't see Locke or BJB being on peanuts.

| Certainly the age of Iestyn Harris signings ( Loan & 2015 squad )
Logan Tomkins 21
Greg Eden 23
Kevin Locke 25
Ben Jones-Bishop 25
all younger & quicker,
If only Platt hadn't joined my reasoning would be watertight ...

Oh yes please, I was only saying to the Mrs the other day how Pelissier is exactly the kind of 9 that we need.

| At last we are signing class and quality.
There is no substitute for class and speed, and quality.
Onward and forward, the future looks bright

An interesting analysis of the changes at Salford.'"
An even more interesting volte-face by League Freak.
Not surprised.Dr K has played yet another blinder.We lost at home to Widnes - a few days later Kevin Locke signing is announced to lift the spirits.Miserable day,weather,performance,result,attendance on Saturday,then he makes this announcement.Everyone must be on an upper.
Quality player - quality character ! Found this little link where he also suggests an appreciation of our coach - the one in charge for these quality signings rlSTORYrl

I know a lot of fans of both our Club and others constantly seem to wave the 'Cap flag' whenever we do anything. With every signing there's always at least a handful of people mentioning the 'C' word. I was thinking about this the other day and people don't seem to allow common sense to seep into their reasoning, or simply don't actually give it genuine thought.
This is not a go at anyone, by the way, just an observation.
You have a team like Leeds who we've just signed BJB off, or Wigan with Hansen for example. Teams that are considerably better, successful, and more expensive than ours. We recruit a few better players into a 'lower standard' side, yet people constantly bring up cap this and that. Even though they are not privvy to anyones or organisations finances. I find it strange that fans from teams that include current Internationals scattered liberally throughout not only their first choices but reserves too, don't question how their team can manage not to raise the question of cap space. Yet when a 'lower' team with about half the quality of players signs a couple of decent players, we must be over the cap.
That is not a go at Leeds or Wigan, I was just using them as an example because we've signed players off them.
I also get the feeling that people's guesses at wages of RL players would be considerably higher than they are in actuality. I'd hope that as a Club we will be surfing close to the cap ceiling come the start of next season. If we have the money we should spend it.
I guess that most people jump to conclusions based on very little

can't have been on big money .
BJB had 7 seasons at Leeds ,(re) joined at 18 so would have been on academy money , since 2008 he's accumulated 73 sl appearances , his best season tally being 23 in 2012.
He's never been 1st on the team sheet material + he's had two serious injuries ( skull fracture 2010 - Blood Clot on lung 2013 )
