You really are a pathetic individual.If you must be a troll then at least bring something with a bit of originality or humour or is that the best your pea sized brain could come up with.

I must admit to sharing similar feelings to this - Considering all the hype, your signings do reek of averageness.

Don't get me wrong, I admire the enthusiasm and ambition of your owner and the signings are a huge improvement on what you presently have, but for all the build up to today's announcement, the signings of Chase and co are a bit underwhelming.

For all his bluster, one could have been forgiven for thinking we were going to see Roby or Sinfield unveiled, not a couple of half backs from lower-end-of-the-table sides and a gang of veterans looking for one last payday.

I have to give him his due though, he definitely knows how to sell something.... The fact he has Salford fans so excited over these signings is ample proof of that, and if he does hang around for the long haul ,then there can be little doubt he will eventually be able to build a side that deserves the hype - However, for the moment, I don't think this collection of signings does that.

Salford Red Devils RLFC. [quote="Gotcha":y7izhg01]Salford won't win Super League in my lifetime. Even saying in jest they would sounds stupid.[/quote:y7izhg01]:



F*ck me, finished top of the league have we? You sad b*stard.

Also underwhelming? We're SALFORD fans, not Wigan, Warrington, Leeds, St Helen's, Hull etc the signing of the likes of Adrian Morley, Rangi Chase, Tim Smith, Junior Sa'u, Jake Mullaney and Francis Meli are big signings to us. I think we've done amazingly well to recruit the standard of the players we have and I am thankful they can share the clubs vision.

Similar to Man City, they didn't get the Tevez's, Yaya, Aguero's etc at the start, it will take time.

The signings announced today can do nothing but improve us greatly for next season. There was also mention of more to come and we are currently looking to the 2015 season and beyond. Also there is going to be big developments around the stadium ( hotels , casino etc) which will benefit the club to a prosperous future.The Docs foremost ambition is to make us a force to be reckoned with and any fan of ours knows this takes time. We have been promised improvement and that's what we are getting. I'm sure any team in super league would have more than welcomed any of the players we announced today , especially Chase , Tim Smith or Hock.
With a good pre season ( something we didn't have last time round) i am confident to start next season running and look forward to a great future.

They've also got more signings coming, when was the last time Huddersfield signed this many players? Jealousy coming into play..?

Instantly put's Salford in about 6th-8th place, hopefully crowds improve for you as well. Tim Smith will end up being the best one, great player.

I agree with you that your future is very bright, its just that I thought today might have revealed 'bigger' signings than it actually did, though its fair to say that your owner was using today as another chance to wake up the Salford public to his long term ambitions.

Personally, I hope you can build on this and become a good, competitive side, the competition needs as many as it can get - I just hope the people of Salford respond. I have my doubts they will, but at least your loyal followers are finally having something to shout about.

Could the good Doctor be waiting until the playoffs are completed? If not then the Red Devils have a better squad and coach than this year

Whoa hang on i weren't trolling, sorry if it came across that way....maybe i worded it wrong. Point i was making was i was under the impression there was going to be big names yes Morley is but he's at the wrong end of his career.

Tommy Lee, Greg Johnson etc i would presume would be squad members rather than integral parts of your squad. Rangi and Tim are class signings but the others dont really seem like massive signings of the calibre i was expecting from the Dr's comments in the past.
Obviously they are a massive improvement on what you have now but i was expecting maybe 3 or 4 big marquee names.

Sorry if i came across wrong and caused any offence.

Salary cap - you're havin a laugh.:



Some opposition fans claiming our signings are poor. Others in outrage that we are supposedly flouting the salary cap with all our big names. Make your minds up folks.
