Who next is the good Dr going to tell the club "name your price" have a bit of class at least and don't say anything till a deal is done. We have heard about Morley now Tompkins.
Come in Salford this isn't the way to build your team and you know it. Besides how would he fit in with the salary cap based on attendance.

Marshy keep up - the salary cap is no longer based on attendance or income, it's just a flat cap (being northern!!) for all clubs

Looking forward to having Sam on board, quality player. Along with Rangi Chase we're starting to assemble quite a formidable back line. I actually predicted we would be champions in 2016 but having heard this I might have to bring that forward a couple of years?

Wait until Craig Gower and Anthony Minicello make their long awaited moves to Salford. We'll have decent depth then.

It's all about publicity. It's all good.

He is desperate to get the first big name in, as he sees it as a catalyst to bring in better quality players overall.

I'm quite enjoying other fans reaction to lowly Salford having the audacity to try and buy a big name. I mean, who do we think we are?

Good point RedTez. These are certainly exciting times to be a Salford fan. Got my Challenge Cup Final and Old Trafford seats booked already. When is it we play Wigan @ DW? Can't wait to see Sam dodge his way round the Wigan defence to send our travelling masses into hysteria.

Heard a rumour that the Dr is investing pretty heavily in cloning technology and that '13 David Hulmes' is literally only months way. Proper exciting times these.

If we're going down the cloning route I won't be satisfied until we have a 2nd Neil Baynes on our hands

Bought some shares in Hollands just in case.

although I love the though of getting tomkins maybe lower the bar a bit. What about someone like Dobson?

Not sure he's good enough for us tbh mate.

I'd be very happy signing Dobson. Very experienced half back, knows how to control a game, great kicker, and amazingly is only 26

Dobson is not a bad shout. Certainly steadied the ship at Wigan when he went there. Of Hull KR though, i would love to see us go for Eden. He looks a cracking prospect and surely a future England int.

The other one i think we should consider is Widdop. He's achieved all now at club level with the Storm in the NRL so why not get him in and build around him and make him our superstar. Plus being english not on quota.

That's a great shout didn't realise he's only 26 always impressed me and he has a great kicking game. Foran arrives this week though so let's see how he's goes at scrum half
