Totally agree with you but it's still depressing. The better he is, the less likely it is we can keep him.

Until we get to a point where we can operate a full cap it will always be so.

Heres me thinking it's only Widnes who are interested.

Not that impressive! better off going for Ryan Brierley whos playing at Leigh on Dual Reg from Castleford, he can play fullback wing and 6 & 7 (mainly a goal kicking half back!
[size12 tries in eight games[/size, really setting Champioship alight, pretty sure hes out of contract at the end of the season. He is also a Salford Fan

Why not both?
Holdsworth will not be here for ever.

I'd rather keep Gleeson than Smith. I really like Gleeson creates opportunities for his winger and scores plenty himself. I'd be upset to see him go, but lets face it we can't compete with the wages other clubs have to offer so we have to face up to losing some of our better players.

Agree with this about gleeson, next season we will have a squad that Phil had put together, so no excuses. I don't know about most on here but I'm fed up with being in a "transitional" stage we have been since I started watching the reds no continuity if we can keep the majority of this years team with the odd new signing it will put us in good stead for the next couple of seasons

We need a new FB, PR & SR then I think we can make the 8, a player I'd like us to look at is Andrew Dixon from saints, Mark O'Mealy has already been mentioned from FC & if Towers is up for the job next year I'd be happy next year (Although heard a little rumour that Paul Wellens is being lined up for next season??) as long as them two replace Feka & Anderson

And as somebody else mentioned id rather keep smith than holdsworth

What my concern is is that the better players don`t seem to want to commit to Salford,the only one`s who do are the one`s nobody else wants.

Kevin Brown has just signed for Widnes for next season. Can they afford Smith as well? Will they still want him?

a four year deal so spending big

Smith is of to Wigan.

Wellens?

Would like to see us keep Gleeson. Very under-rated centre in my opinion. Great game yesterday.

Agree with the ball in hand Gleeson looks a threat, i just hope he works on his Defence which is pretty shaky.
Happy to keep Smith but not at any price, we have Sneyd who can step up, and with out limited budget there are other areas of the team that could do with strengthening.

Obstruction - there was a runner (Nero I think) who ran in front of Patten before he passed to Gleeson.

Agree with the comments about Gleeson - whilst he shows a bit of flare in attack, his defense is woeful. Wouldn't be too fussed if he left. In fact, I could say that about most of the members of the squad with the exception of Broughton, Moon and maybe Holdsworth.
