I don't believe any player just wants the money. It's human nature to want the best deal possible but every player would choose success over failure.

| Quote: REDWHITEANDBLUE "He has also said he wants to go back to Oz next year interesting times indeed, if the Dr keeps making offers and nobody signs that could be really damaging, some players dont play for the money look at the Leeds lads not on mega money but want to play for their local team and win trophies, based on this who would you sign for at the moment Wigan or Salford? if you are from Oz and have a family and want to go back and get an offer what would you do.
I am pleased the Dr has got involved with the game but Salford need to keep stum on signings its not doing the credibility of the club any good IMHO.'"
Salford has kept stum on most of the players it's interested in. It's the grapevine that makes these things common knowledge. Just like the Paea one.

| I would think that the Doc and Noble are being a little nieve if they think that with the noises that the Doc makes we are only going to get players desperate to play for Salford being interested. Most players will know there's good money to be made out getting a contract from Salford.
If we were a Leeds, Wigan or Warrington the interest being shown in signing for us would be for the prestige but as it stands people are seeing £££££'s.

It's going to take a few high-profile signings where the club pays above the going rate before other players consider choosing us (on similar terms) before some of the more historically successful clubs.
I can understand the club saying they only want fully committed players that offer real value for money. The reality is it won't be easy initially to attract top quality players on similar terms to the likes of Leeds, Wigan and Warrington.

Oh I agree, just when I read the quotes about the players wives it worried me a little. There's a fine line between getting our name in the press as the Doc in undoubtedly doing and then not only lining us up for a fall but also for me adding money to contracts of anyone we might be able to get before we've even discussed terms with them.
Think for me if Hull KR & Castleford don't get a backer the Doc will go in there and cherry pick as others have done with us over the years. From those two teams alone there are maybe 5 or 6 players who would make a huge difference to the abilities of our squad.
I've never bought into the reports of Costigan coming over as he seems to be pretty much crocked and for me it would be a huge gamble that isn't needed.
I am disappointed that we didn't look at this guy that Wakey have just signed, you get the feeling he will be one of those who'll be there for max a season and them head off to a top 4 side as a top notch SL player.

| there are alot of posts out various forums , many started or contributed to by non Salford fans linking us with just about every possible name.
the club stopped naming targets after the Morley Tomkins Chase stories at the start of the season ,
OOC players have until 31st of may to accept new contracts offered ( if any ) by their existing employer, If they don't accept their club can withdraw that offer without compensation , many people will be talking but no-will be officially signing . not until June.
A players agent wouldn't be doing his job unless he was trying to get the best deal for his client ,
A) more money
B ) a long secure contract
C) a competitive club
easiest way to drum up A) more money is to intimate interest from the Dr.
We know the Official announcements on new signing's are promised to come from the Dr himself ,
At present with the makeup of the SL in 2015 onwards in doubt ,for Sides like Salford- Hull KR - Wakey Cas- Widnes it is making the job of long term recruitment difficult as no player UK or Aus/NZ will want to sign with a club that might find itself on it's dumped out of the 'top league ' cum 2015 .
So until July ? or when the SL votes on a preferred league structure for 2015 onwards , it's going to be tricky to squad build , no matter how much cash is offered .

Same applies to Wakefield and London. I'd take Dixon from London and a handful of Wakey players.
I think there's more chance of us picking off the 'best of the rest' than aiming for the likes of Tomkins, Charnley etc.

| Bobby Goulding appears to be in the know about our signings, saying we've got Chase and Hansbury (never rated Hansbury but always has a stormer against us?!?) Also he saying we've got a English forward that it going to make a statement, ruling out Graham and Burgess, who does that leave? Roby? No others would you class as massive signings that will shock, unless they from union? All will be revealed in due course it seems.

| Are we going to have one of these threads every week or two? It's getting silly now, from all sides.

| As I have said elsewhere, I will believe our signings have happened when I see them posing in a Salford shirt. Until then people need to get real and calm down. On the other hand if people want to have fun then carry on. By the way I have it on good authority we are about to sign...........
