Let's say I couid buy a few

With hindsight we now know the impossible is possible that we can have our first choice 6, 7 & 9 out for at least 6 games at the same time. Theo has done his best and it's lucky we have had him available for this period but to be honest I prefer Chase & Dobson.

Probably in the same way that I could buy a few Ronaldos.

It's not necessarily the thought of not being able to replace Theo Fages that concerns me. It's the uncertainty that things aren't quite as they should be behind the scenes. With players leaving or wanting to leave, do they think we aren't progressing as a team and have little chance of improving much next year and beyond? I could fully understand talented players wanting to leave in the past when finances were limited but do we now have a different problem?

One or two on this forum have over egged Theo in the past.What I will say for the for the kid he never gives less than 100% yes his long kicking game is flawed,but that can be rectified,so we did not need Dobson if Theo does go we will get no more than 50,000

You got about 100K for Sneyd who had a year left on his contract, so i'd expect about the same for Fages who although younger, isn't quite yet as good as Sneyd.

I can see why Theo would want to leave as he is behind two very good half backs but Patterson is a mystery, for me the best second row at the club by some distance this season and even better when he plays in the centres.

He is one I'd be giving a long term deal to and using as the foundation for progression.

I can only assume that Sheens coming over was too check out the club, the facilities and possibly the area with an eye to taking up the head coaches role when his current coaching role comes to an end. I doubt any of us would have an issue with the current Australian national coach taking over the reigns.

Some would prefer the dream team of Alker, Goulding and Gregory.

Some must have some very rum dreams!

The problem Salford has is that when Dobson becomes available again your going to drop Theo.
Thats why he has to leave? Then again if he goes to a top 4 club would he be first choice there?

Unlikely but would you want to be second choice at Salford or second choice at Leeds/Saints/Wigan/Catalan

Has Theo's agent got wind of who our marque singing is going to be, and tipped off theo
