i played with him from a young age when he played for Scarborough. his move to SL is way over due. A shame you've lost Tim Sheens he would've benefited greatly from a man who'd coached farah. I have no doubt he will be solid for you.

Is it right Carney has signed for Hull FC?

Maybe, but he's a Hull lad so doubt he'll leave. Watch this be wrong now.

I keep offering you Tilse. Please.....

There's a rumor about them signing Todd Carney. Justin Carney is contracted with us until 2019.

I hope that Watson isn't going to sign a load of championship players like last season. i don't think any of them made it. They have all gone back to the lower divisions.
I stand to be corrected

"I keep offering you Tilse. Please....."
FROM TODAY'S MEN: "Steve Diamond believes he still needs to sign four world-class players for Sale "

Have you tried them? (Better pay than Salford)

There was only Sarsfield wasn't there? I can't recall any others although Haggerty was on loan at a championship club before we loaned him but he was still registered to St Helens. I think there is the occasional talent that can be found in the Championship it's just we are historically poor at unearthing them. I think Andy Coley, Fitzy and Chris Charles were the only exceptions all those years ago.

What does anybody think to Jamie Soward? he's a free agent ..32 but looked class running the show when London beat us in the middle 8's. Says he will come back if a super league club was to come in for his services

..I like Robert Lui .. he looked good early on in the season but he faltered a bit towards the end and had a mare in the MPG when we really needed him ..knocked on a coupe of times...he's been carrying knocks so maybe we can excuse that and he deserves another shot ? Soward could provide a different option for a season or so?..know we have a signed a young prop and hooker but think we need a centre and a top experienced prop as well

There"s a cue apparently for Soward's signature. To be fair to Lui he was playing on one leg since the knee injury at Leigh. I think this showed his commitment to the cause by putting his hand up. Given recovery time I think he'll go well again next year.

Lui is class and must be kept for next season, he was playing 70% fit after his knee injury. I would imagine a lot of the big clubs will be looking at our players, specially the likes of Sau, Murdoch-Masila, O'Brien, Etc. We need to keep hold of most of this current squad and just add 3 or 4 top players. Could we see a marquee player signed this season??

Is Lee already gone?? Josh Griffin will be a huge loss been immense since we signed him, shame we have lost Caton-Brown as well.

Proves what I know. Walker really does seem to be moving on. My guees is that he's Wakey bound because of the Chester connection though.

Robert Lui to Leeds is doing the rounds.

Overall I was happy with last seasons recruitment :-
a mix of proven SL experience - Kopzcak - Josh Jones -Flanaghan .
SL squad players wanting more game time - O'Brien. Joseph.
overseas players that added bulk & aggression - Murdoch Masila - Lui - Carney
opportunity for a step - up for some of our younger squad who contributed - Wood - Bibby- Lannon
and lastly a mix of championship / season loan players to provide cover - Sarsfield haggerty Andrade.

Of the signings I guess Joseph was the only 'head scratcher' , & Vidot had a mare with injury blighting his 1st season
so we Had Vidot - Lee - Johnson - Wood- Hauraki & Carney injured for major parts of the season.

Re Championship signings , I thinks its still a gamble that Watson needs to take - OK only Sarsfield was used, but for the money it's still a good bet it they come good.
I wood except 2 or 3 more , with Brinning being mentioned for some time


unfortunately with Salford being dragged firstly into the qualifiers & finally the relegation decider , most of the squad's players agents will have enquired or set up deals for their charges in case they became free agents or surplus if we fell into the championship.

This will mean a fair few ' rumours ' will continue & possibly may have ' turned the heads ' of a couple of players who may still fancy - 'out '.


Not going to speculate on who may come or go , but will continue to have faith in Watson's judgement , he's seen us through two qualifiers & if not for the points deduction would've given Salford the best league finish since Harrison .
If they want to go - let them go - If they're coming in , give them the opportunity to prove they're worth wearing the scarlet .

Think we will be underwhelmed by any new signings, due to the fact that, we don't have the Sheens pulling power
