| So we know Mozza, Taylor, Tasi, Puletua and possibly Locke wont be with us next season. But has anyone heard who could be replacing these players?
I must admit it has all been quiet on the transfer front, although I was told last week that we were after Leigh centre Tom Armstrong. Apparently he finishes his university studies in petroleum engineering this year and is therefore wanting to play full-time RL again. Without wanting to add fuel to another fire, if this is the case I wonder if this means Junior will leave at the end of his current deal too?

| Well Armstrong is a good shout if Leigh don`t make it into SL.
Personally feel 50/50 on S`au as our 2 wingers see little of the ball from him.
Maybe Brierley too.
I also like Jimmy Keinhorst @ Leeds & feel Gaskell could be worth a shout again as Noble never used him properly.

Brilliant
Gutted that Tasi has been allowed to leave and think if we let Sa'u go there will be serious reason for concern about the Docs level of future investment. We must have a huge chunk of the cap left available with no Hock, TP, Tasi, Lee and Morley on the books next year.

| I think we missed the boat with Brierley when we signed Dobson. I can understand the decision in the short term, as Ryan doesn't offer as much of a kicking game as Dobbo and having two flair players in Chase and Brierley in the team might not have worked. I'm still disappointed we didn't sign him though, but I expect him to join Leeds if Leigh fail to make Super League as a replacement for Danny McGuire.
I'm of the same opinion on Junior. I know he's a fan favourite, but to me he isn't a modern day Super League centre for me. A typical Bradford Noble signing from the early 2000's, ie big/powerful outside back. You could see his strength on Friday against Warrington on Friday when he bulldozed through to score, but that isn't enough thesedays. Our best centre performance this season has come from Cory Paterson away in Perpignan IMO, top class.

32990_1435324474.jpg First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg |

Yes and I think the lack of ball to our wingers has been compounded even further since Chase was suspended and Dobson's injury. Is this the Harris style though after his playing time with the Bulls? Big strong running defensive centres preferred over players with speed and handling skills.

Good Morning EB,as you know Charlie always values your opinions as you seem a very open non biased Salford fan ,Tom Armstrong was my vote for Leigh player of year last season and I think we miss him when he doesn't play ,Liam Kay has benefitted big time this year with Tom as his centre,hopefully Leigh will make it to SL at the end of the season and will keep Tom and most of our current Squad together,I say hopefully,but agree with you how Salford would benefit from Signing him , I have also heard Sam Hopkins is interesting you but again depending on where we are next year,though I would like to think Salford and Marwan would like to see Leigh in SL next year adding another Derby game to the Fixtures.

| It makes you wonder what Wigan do to these prop forwards. Scott Taylor went there and was slated, comes to Salford and has a fantastic season. Sam Hopkins is another who went to Wigan and failed to make an impact, yet has had an impressive season this time around at Leigh.
Jack Hughes looks another who is excelling away from the DW at the moment too and if he was to become available I would be more than happy for us to sign him up after what I have seen from him at Huddersfield.

Where Sam Hopkins goes will have nothing to do with Leigh unfortunately Charlie, unless we sign him of course

| I'd like to see McShane to come in, wether that means putting Lee at loose I don't know. We know Tommy is a limited player but Harris likes his work rate in defence. Think Mcshane would offer us more of a kicking game, by that I mean short kicking, grubbers into touch, ball holding up in the in goal area, we hack lacked this from Lee / Hood / Fages.

| I would second that in saying we need to get Patterson and Sau signed up for next season.
As much as I don't like the way the Doc is trying to offload Locke I want to see Niall Evalds be a one club man for Salford along with Theo Fages.
We need continuity within our club and 1st team squad.
As for the forwards situation I would buy the meanest Kiwi we can get in replacement for Locke and bring in another 2 big forwards with high work rates.

| Re Locke - Kevin is in the driving seat he has 2 years to go = nobody will come in for him for maybe 18 months such is his medical history - I am personally keen to see him at 100% playing his heart out for the Devils - so can we move on now and give him space to fulfill all our wishes.
