I missed a bit, for pedantic readers...

'...If that was the case.'

It's definitely not entirely true - Forster, G.Griffin and Sa'u all signed new deals, even if it was a couple of months ago.

Where did I say Paterson wasn't leaving regardless? When he signed, Leigh were flying and he as did many others expected them to be in Super League next season. The visa issues were sorted by Derek Beaumont (apparently) which is where the move to Leigh materialised from. Since it has become clear Leigh wont be in Super League, Paterson has sounded out the possibility of staying.

Maitua is signing for Leigh because he wants to play in easier games. He's 34 next season and the appetite for Super League isnt there, not with Leigh offering him a good contract either. This was the initial reason he signed for Fev last season too.

Sheens knows he isn't getting the Australia job.

I was told Hansen signed a contract with Leigh last Monday, time will tell who's right.

Tasi was also fined, but unlike Chase accepted his punishment. Rangi has been pushing his luck for a while and as I have mentioned numerous times, he has been pimping himself out to clubs since June.

PS - re every player Salford have thus far approached refusing to sign, also not true.

Is this announcement happening?

The silence is deafening.

Is Johnny Headline, Barker?

He floats around and posts on all the likely forums.

See Neil's on twitter pimping himself out to golf pro's, change of career direction as a caddie.

Didn't think there was much call for clown caddies...

To soon?

The big announcement was the news that another four players are leaving and it will be saving Marwan a right butty.

The announcement is probably that there's going to be an announcement. Then we'll have a 6 week build up to the real anouncement, at a press conference, but everyone will know who's signed by then anyway.

It's got precedent anyway.

Porking somebody he shouldn’t have. Not in a David Cameron way, you understand.

I know to some it won't matter that much but to me it is one of the reasons I'm falling out of love with Salford.

First there was meant to be one announcement yesterday, this was then cancelled as another was going to be made today at the same time.

Shouldn't be hard to organise something like this, if one of the announcements isn't possible at the least drop one and help build up the tension on the second.

The little things that can be done so easily still seem just that little bit more tricky to Salford than they need to be.

Keep the Faith MR .
I'm happy to let the blood on the carpet dry & the dust to settle a while.

remember a time when you had to wait until the Pink arrived or scan Rugby Leaguer in the newsagents weekly to hear anything.

Just read it's now next Wednesday, all just crap.

Why make an announcement there's going to be an announcement, you don't really see other clubs doing it.

The lack of updates today from the club is what rankles most, just looks amateurish to me.

Sometimes it takes longer to get a target over the line and signed on the dotted line then people think, maybe certain people can't get to a meeting etc... we're safe give over for a week or two and let things settle,, as I put we are SAFE !! That's all that matters enjoy not having to go into the last game praying on other results. The announcement will come when it comes it could be many a thing I understand why people are getting annoyed but maybe other options have become available now it's drawing to the last game of the season
