I remember when Adamson got an extention to his contract he was being linked with a move to Warrington, he was vying with Alker in the opta stats top tackler lists and had picked up an England selection, and he was being openly discussed as a future club Captain on this forum.

I think Luke it the buffers when Harrison departed,but if he goes to Widnes he could have new lease of life with
Dennis Betts.Good luck to him.

Staggered if Adamson was in top 5 earners.
As has been said,no disrespect to the lad, but I always felt that if he was in the first 17 it meant we were struggling.
Honest trier.
Played enough games for there to have been memorable moments,but we have to do better than Luke if we are to progress

Now then for the five-year plan?

I'm all for it IF The Reds can stay in the top flight....[/i

Apologies if I upset you, was just trying to help.

References to Lance Todd having issues,
I think we must all have issues and stress problems to follow Salford

I've just come across the following on the Martyn Sadler Twitter thingy.( I ain't up on 'modern' things but I reckon it must mean in the last hour ) - was written -


Sadler‏@MartynSadler

I hear there could be some good news for Salford City Reds in the not-too-distant future


That's good news ain't it ?


PS - It was written before that probationary nonsense about Bradford

And this just retweeted by Luke Patten

Gary Carter ‏@GaryCarter_1979
And with regards to Salford. I'm told positive talks have been held and apparently the midnight oil is being burned to get a deal through.

With regards what? new investment, owners, players?

Chatted with someone at the club today who said that all this about financial meltdown at the club is nonsense, apparently there are many more clubs in SL in much greater trouble and since the review mid season there has been no end of changes behind the scenes besides Tarry going.

Yes,no end of changes

OUT Smith,Holdsworth,Patten,Gleeson,Anderson etc etc

IN ?

The important bit was .


Just posted elsewhere what's the use in the club going out and buying players on a shoestring budget if there is new investment allowing better players to be brought in? perfectly happy to wait and see what transpires, let's face it if we are after bargain basement buys they aren't going to be in massive demand by other clubs so won't be going anywhere and if we have money the type of players we want/need will still be involved in the play offs.

also Adamson and Palasina( Know I've spelt it wrong, sorry)
Is Anderson leaving ?. pity if he is, I thought he had a very good season

That means our props for next season are McPhearson ,Gledhill, Jewett,James,Sidlow, Waine
2nds Ashurst,Dixon if rumours are true and Nero
loose Wild plus any academy lads much the same pack as last year
Seems the wholesale changes will be in the backs

That's right,Roy,the big changes will necessarily be in the backs.
But,our pack has been well beaten this season on a many occasions so to take several of the heavy hitters out mean that badly needs strengthening also.
The point I was making is that there is bound to be optimism coming out of he club,that's why they're there but all we can go on are the events that have actually happened .
The suggestion that our targets might be mainly playing for the play off sides is surely a bit optimistic !

Anything that gets rid of that stadium sewer stench.
