What can you say about that?

We'll make a big signing at some point but I seriously doubt it will be Tomkins.

Its great that we are being linked with a player like tomkins, like you i think its unlikely but another good show of intent from the doctor.

Certainly ambitious. Would like to hear about us going after someone a bit more realistic because this obviously isn't going to happen.

Someone on the Wigan board reckons he was at our game last night. Wigan fans understandably off-hand about it as you'd expect.

Lee Briers WAS at the game last night

Really? Balls. Anyone know a good place for laser tattoo removal?

Keeps the name in the papers I suppose, but it could start to get a bit embarrassing.

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.
