On the 8th day, God created Rugby League On the 9th day, Satan created Salford. A battle ensued through to to late on the 12th day. A few hours later, a truce, and on the final stroke of midnight, Code 13 was created... Heaven and Hell combined forces and delivered Salford Red Devils...a legacy is born!!!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_71248.jpg

The £100k+ bit. Not on the current cap anyway.

Salary cap - you're havin a laugh.:



Is anyone really surprised? With Dobson being on a 4 year deal, he is unlikely to want to wait another 3 years before getting his hands on the number 7 shirt.

Throw into the mix an owner who is not exactly offering long term stability at the club and you can see why he would be reluctant to sign a contract extension.

Bloody hell mate, have you never agreed to an increase in advance of the starting term????

Theo's contract is not up until the end 2016, so they can agree & sign the contract now, with new terms coming into effect at start of next season, giving Iestyn, Marwan et al ample time to budget the cap accordingly

Exactly, like i've said before you can't pick a team on who earns the most. Theo was the form halfback pre-season, Dobson should've been made to earn it back. Same with Niall and Locke also Hood and Lee. If you dont pick on form you end up with disillusioned young players who look elsewhere. Then your club is buying numerous players each year to fill the gaps. You need good club men on long contracts for stability and you have more chance with players coming through your own system.

All this said, Theo is signed up till end of 2016 so he probably just wants to wait till next season to see how things lie then. I for one don't blame him at all, its his career and he only gets one chance !!

When I saw this topic I must admit I LOL'd which for the older folk is 'laugh out loud' This is going to send this forum and twitter into meltdown!

If he wants first team rugby let him go with a buy back clause because he aint shifting Dobson or Chase anytime soon. If he turns out to be this mecurial player then we have first offer on him, like Wigan have done with the players than have gone overseas.

I'd be going all out to tie Evalds downs for my honest opinion.

I’m just not convinced he’s that good, but I do like Theo. His attitude appears to be exemplary. My opinion. icon_wink.gif

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]:



Quote: Chico "I’m just not convinced he’s that good, but I do like Theo. His attitude appears to be exemplary. My opinion.
I would concur with that, I think the majority of Salford fans are blinded in their perception of just how good Theo actually is because a) he has been with us since a young age, b) is our current longest serving player, c) plays with 100% every game and d) is a genuinely nice lad. He still has a lot of improving to do before we should be offering him a contract of circa £100k pa. All top scrum-halves have a short and/or long kicking game of sorts and I am yet to see this from Theo. This where I see Michael Dobson helping him over the next couple of years to add this element to his game.

However, when all that is said and done I still want him to stay at Salford and hope he can become our number 7 for many years to come.

We need to keep hold of Theo, in the same way Evalds is youngsters like him are the future Salford.

Does he not qualify for some form of salary dispensation due to him being at the club from a younger age? Might not but I'm sure there are clauses to that effect.

Everyone seems to assume it is between Theo and Chase, highly as I rate Chase I think a Dobson/Fages combination would be just as productive.
