well, from the horses mouth in answer to a question on twitter:

@drmarwanK @STEBigMike @TheSalfordScene fair enough Dr. seriously as a worried fan of my beloved club whats going on??? Y the unrest?

@kev103uk @STEBigMike @TheSalfordScene There is no unrest . We were going well and injuries and suspensions hurt us a lot

Tom Lineham, with 2 full years left on his contract has just signed for Warrington for £125,000. He's a far bigger name and arguably a far higher calibre of player. Salford would be lucky to get £75,000 for Fages currently.'"

As I mentioned in an earlier post the best swap deal offer from one of the eight interested clubs. Why should the club let a player they have invested 4 years in leave on the cheap simply because he's been tapped up?

So we just ignore the facts Theo has made more Super League games than Lineham and Sneyd at the same age
and has been capped at international level something both Lineham and Sneyd still haven't'"

Whether its France or not, he's still playing on a platform against the elite in RL. Also more appearances and international caps suggests he would have more experience than both Lineham and Sneyd. As mentioned before, wingers are ten-a-penny whereas quality half-backs aren't hence why Hull paid us £125k for Sneyd after he had a great half a season at Castleford.

Lets just be clear I am not suggesting we should be commanding anything near the level that Marwan mentioned yesterday.

Does that mean he is better, because he has played more games?

Can't believe people are using the international tag, it's France FFS.'"

Are you seriously slagging Saints off for signing players from Australia?

What makes you think Saints are going to pay a fee for anyone? I don't think it's us that is causing Theo's transfer request. I wouldn't be surprised if it were Warrington or Leeds.

Just convenient and coincidental that the week after Long and Cunningham publically praise him, his agent advises him to hand in a transfer request and force a move? As you say, it would seem unlikely that Saints are going to pay a fee of £125k plus but then good young half-backs don't come around too often.

Are you Theo's agent? The club got 200k for Richie Myler 5 years ago.

Anyone actually know who advises the Dr on ALL things Rugby League? Ta

It's in safe hands don't worry.

So he gets his advice from Twickenham.
