Thanks this will save me buying a newspaper this afternoon.

Johnny Headline, is what you wrote all true mate?

As things stand they are correct, things change though and there is a dialogue between all parties.

There are issues occurring behind closed doors which will have a bearing on any future developments, im led to believe the RFL are less than impressed with the DR.

I would suspect things will become more apparent towards the end of the season, as I have posted previously everything will come to light in the end.

My old mate and RL fan, Patterson, would not play for Leigh for two reasons: he supports Oldham and he's over 70.
Do you have any news on Paterson?

I really hope not. Hasn't everyone associated with Salford already endured enough over the previous few years?

Exactly Red Shed just when I thought things were getting better. Its more and more painful to support RL than ever.

I'd use our marque on a worldly of a hooker personally. If we could get a cam smith/Robbie Farah type play it would improve us so much as a team. I can't think of when in the last 20 years we have had a top class hooker who can move a team onto the front foot. I know it's only opinon but do people really think we need to hold onto Walton and Lee? They would be first on my list for out as I think they are both poor players who do zero for me

Totally agree. Even a player in the mould of a Michael Monaghan would improve us greatly. We need an elite hooker who can read a game and strenghten the spine of the team. I think we would have to look overseas because this kind of player simply isn't available in SL.

I know the club decided to sign Locke but had we invested all that money in a worldy 9 I think we would be in a much better position now. I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I'd take a quality hooker over a fullback every time.

Correct.
If Locke had performed as we'd hoped........

The point I was making was that in my opinion the modern hooking position is more vital to how a team functions offensively than a fullback.

And the point I'm making is that there was universal praise when we signed someone who would set Super League alight.
Both positions are very important in the modern game but we'd signed a superstar and it is only with the benefit of hindsight that you can be preferring a hooker,because the Locke signing didn't work out.
Also,you can only sign players who are available

It's got nothing to do with the fact the Locke signing didn't work out. I'd take a worldly 9 every time but that's just my opinion. I also appreciate that one may not have been available when we signed Locke. What I'm saying is if we signed one now it could make a big improvement to the team going forward.

Yes,it would

Lunt will be looking for a club. His ego will suit marwan- and he'd definitely go to you for the money.
