From what we've got with a few of the rumours thrown in I think i'd go for...

1. Patten
2. Reardon
3. Gibson
4. Henry
5. Broughton
6. Ratchford
7. Holdsworth
8. Cashmere
9. Kane Bentley
10. Cross/Jewit
11. Sidlow
12. Adamson
13. Wild

14. Boyle
15. Parker
16. Jewitt/Neal
17.M Smith/Fitzy

Not massively keen on Reardon but he's an improvement on what we've got. Likewsie Kane Bentley. would be a decent 17 with a few options but not a great deal of strength in depth. Reckon we migh end up with Jezza at Hooker - can't think of too many available options at hooker

Personally I think it might be similar, with the following changes, would much rather it was Hodgson back
3. Gibson
4. Henry
5. Broughton
6. Ratchford, have a feeling Matty smith will be at 7 with Holdsworth at 6
7. Holdsworth
8. Cashmere
9. Kane Bentley
10. Cross/Jewitt
11. Sidlow
12. Adamson
13. Wild

14. Boyle
15. Parker, if we sign Langley then hopefully he'll be in the team instead od Parker.
16. Jewitt/Neal
17.M Smith/Fitzy

Looks a better team on paper. It would be a shame to see Swain go, but he doesn't really excel in attack and as hard as he works I think we should be bringing in better Aussies. Sidlow, Langley, Adamason and Wild would be pretty good options at backrow.

Kane Bentleys good but not as good as Malc or even Jezza fwiw. Would rather see Hinchliffe from Melbourne arrive, certainly wouldnt rule it out

There's a hooker playing over here who I'd very much like to see in a Salford shirt, Chad Randall, I know he'd count on the quote (although next year he'll have been over here 5 years) but I think he's an excellent player, creative, puts in his fair share of tackling and generally scores plenty of tries for a hooker.

Good point, plus I've got a soft spot for him when we played Quins at home, I was in a a and e at hope and he got carried past me on a stretcher in agony, wasnt nice to see

I agree Randall is a good player but so were Dorn and White until they came to Salford. We don't have a great record of players coming from that London and doing well at Salford!

Lincoln Devilsfan - i'd have hodgson back in a heartbeat if it's an option. Broughton on one wing and Dodgy on the other would be a great combination, could be the new Fielding and Richards, or at least the new Sini and Rogers

Says in todays mirror we are expected to sign patten beating huddersfield to his signature. So it looks like we have a new number 1 for the first time in 6 years. I do like fitzy dont get me wrong but he isnt sl standard anymore, and tbh if we want the 2012 spot we need a good year next year and players like fitzy littler and sibbit arnt going to give us that, bring on more signings please wilky.

Suffered from a clash of personalities with Gregory, did rate White myself he was just unfortunate to have just about the best ever scrum half as his coach.

The rumours are true unfortunately for me as a Giants fan cos i've been a fan of him for a few years. We weren't prepared to beat £140k a year you offered him. Looking forward to seeing him playing over here though and hope he goes well for you.

£140k a year???? Is he that good? what would billy slater want then if he wants that? ha

I think you could easily double that, if not more, if you wanted Slater.

Yes, he is. Based on this years performances anyway. (Didn't rate him last year) Although I'm astonished we can afford that!

Crackin' signing by the way, I've seen him quite a bit this year (Thanks to 433) and he's a very, very good full-back.
