Great signing. I always said that you tend to get more for your money with 'Kiwi' players when signing from the southern hemisphere. Just what we need.

It's amazing, but the signing of a quality up and coming prop suddenly makes the team look much stronger.

The pack is really starting to look decent.Good mix of experience and youth,size and aggression.Early days but the team is starting to look formidable.

Happiest players at Salford right now must be Chase and Smith.

More players on the way according to The Doc on Twitter,So what positions would we now like to see strengthened

When I've been saying for the passed couple of weeks about missing someone/someone up front this fits the criteria.

He will add some angry into the front row, looks like the type of player who could become a massive fans favorite straight away.

Not many teams are going to look forward to squaring up against Morley, Griffin, Hock, Rapira and Tasi.

I still think we're a winger and a loose forward short of a really decent team.

What about an interchange hooker? Could Dixon or Ashurst not play loose forward?

I hope he knows the shoulder charge is not allowed anymore ...

Tommy Lee,Gaz Owen and heard they were considering using Fages as interchange hooker.
I fancy Jordan Davies would make a good Loose Forward.Certainly has the size and tackling ability along with good pace and decent hands.Quality kicking game as well.

So that's
1. Chase
2. Smith
3. Sa'u
4. Mullaney
5. Puletua
6. Rapira
7. Tasi.

It's looking like Salford know something we don't. Unfortunately for the RFL as Salford have already made these signings, if the rules change now to accommodate them it will not look good

Or as is more likely the RFL informed all the clubs earlier in the year to allow them to organise their recruitment plans.

Possibly. But doubtful as the decision won't be made till October.

Now you are having a laugh if you think the RFL can raise a subject and make a decision on the same day.This will have been on the cards for some time and got the agreement of all the SL clubs in advance.

From what I understand Smith isn't on the list because we were allowed to buy him to allow Wakefield to get in some much needed money.

At the Forever Reds meeting at Eccles Rugby Club Dave Matthews seemed to be saying that much depended on the passport held by the players concerned if I understood him correctly. This seemed to affect the numbers in each category. It seemed it was a bit of a juggling act.

I wouldn't be throwing any punches in Puletua's direction either, lovely bloke I believe but I wouldn't fancy a crack off him, he's massive!
