Wasn’t Dudson offered to Salford in exchange for Partington coming to Wire..

There may be an opportunity here:

Salford may lose the Burgess case, a knee-jerk reaction which seemed to be an attempt at reducing the wage bill. If this is the case, we may be able to reduce the payoff to Dudson if Salford take him on. We get Partington in return, and they lower their wage bill little to soften the blow of losing the Burgess case (if they indeed do lose it). This is certainly what I'd be on to if I was in charge of affairs. I'm surprised they can class Burgess' misdemeanour as gross misconduct, and I'm pretty sure he has no history unlike some players.

Here's hoping for a slightly-late Partington in a pear tree.

Salford Sold Croft and Ackers to massively reduce their Salary spends. Unless something goes drastically wrong i can't see this happening. Iwould prefer an out and out prop over Partington, he's a tough kid but not sure he's what we need.

Might be me but it feels like the club are keeping things fairly low key compared to previous pre-seasons. Not as many silly stunts, stories and features. Having said that, I think I miss the drama a little bit!

Absolutely. Was going to mention this myself.

I think Burgess probably has a part in this. I imagine he's trying to dampen the hype and take the pressure off the players, as well as rooting out the perceived 'status' culture that some players seem to take on board when they join, as if they've hit the big time and make silly wage demands,

I'm all for it, but as you say it does leave the off-season a bit short of things to talk about.

Yes, no inane and puerile comments from our CEO.

Reading between the lines it looks like Chambers being appointed as Director of Rugby has clipped KFP`s wings, he has been very muted and long may it continue.

Perhaps you missed the Luke Litter Wolfie thing.

No,I saw that.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up Duckie.

I realised that he KFP had been very quiet lately. but I didn`t know that he had been demoted to wearing the WolfIe costume.

Perhaps it`s a role that is better suited to his ability.

It's been a long time since I was able to claim to have achieved Max Wood.

Great to see Aaron Lindop sign a 4 year contract.

As I mentioned to a few folk on here a while ago via PM's, SB see's him as the Super League equivalent of Joseph Sua'ali'i. King & Tai have got real competition for there starting positions in the team.
