In Saturdays MEN it states that the Koukash team tried to pull out all the stops to divert Gareth Hock from a proposed year long loan deal To Widnes, but Hock is expected to complete his move to Widnes on Monday.
Other Possible signings linked to Salford were Chris Tuson & Ex Cas Player Ryan McGoldrick.
It also mentions ' two un-named Australians that may be the ones referred to above.

The Fish is an exciting talent but Liam Foran is (sorry to say) is awful, Vic Mauro is steady, nothing flash but hard working.

rlAlong with Chaserl

Now Chase rumour again , I guess we'll be linked with any disaffected player or bad-boy

I approve of us signing an exciting Fish , only hope he doesn't get battered in SL...

Reserve judgement on Liam Foran , If he's awful but still gets into NRL 5/8's start , he may just be the awful we need .

I can't believe the journalist in question is that stupid, it's been proven that Chase cannot and will not get a new Visa to move clubs due to a criminal conviction for GBH in NZ since he was given his current Visa.
If he could, he would be playing for Hull FC.

LE paper link us to Dale Ferguson 2nd row / Prop
rlDale Fergusonrl .

Also Martin Aspinwall ,signed at Leigh in the close season ,but mentioned to have a release clause in his contract should a SL club come in for him

You're not having Aspinwall!

Don't underestimate Vic Mauro, he's just the kind of player you need, won't miss a tackle, hard working 80 minute prop/2nd rower.

Won't open up defences that much but won't let you down.

Will also be playing for Italy in the WC.

I liked the look of young Nial Evalds at fullback the two man on man tackles he made against Wigan probably saved tries.
He also made more man on man tackles in one game than Patten made in two seasons, Always thought that for every try Patten scored/made he always gave two away
I think with some good signings and gradual blooding of our young lads we can develop a top team

Rather have the 'Horse' back , hed get on famously with our new owner ..
