| Quote Barbed Wire="Barbed Wire"We literally outbid them on both. And the Nicholson one is a good example actually, if we take Bryne and Hill has a clear path in the first team in the same way Nsemba has in the absence of Nicholson, they win. They get more, for less. And their rival pay more, for less. And as much as I like Nicholson, Nsemba was more effective last year.
In a salary cap sport (for those in the mix, although I think the salary cap deserves its own discussion), you need to get return on the money you pay, we need to find something to close the gap and overpaying for players isn’t the way.
I’m not being negative about it, I just think we need to get to the bottom of why he is available. If we’re rolling together the Crowther and Wood money and think Byrne will do the job of both, great. Completely understand that. But if we’re using 70-80% or more of Vaughan money on Byrne, there’s not enough money remaining to add enough to see that our pack doesn’t regress. Because you know, you just KNOW that Wigan have another Byrne, and another Hill and a Smithies, a Partington etc etc etc waiting in the wings being paid peanuts to do the same or better job. It’s up to us to make him deliver on the investment, or the gap opens wider. Not just that, but it blocks the path of Thomas, Green, Whitehead… Prudent recruitment would be to wait until May time and challenge those kids to kick the door down and make the Byrne deal seem unnecessary, but the November 1st negotiation date makes that difficult, as you’d be beaten to the signature.'"
He’s worth more to us than to them. That is how the market works. |

Correct, but he needs to deliver more if we are to close the gap. You can only spend a pound once. For what it’s worth, I like Byrne. But it’s a rare day that Wigan lose a good one that they want to keep, so I just hope we have done our due diligence. |

Didn’t he just fly to warm training camp with the squad? |

Who is John Davidson? Is he the tangerine faced bloke off an auction programme? |

But if clubs do not come in and take players, there will be no Salford as they won’t be able to pay the bills… |

I don’t want to go into full on panic mode just yet but is there any corroboration with regard to Hayes new injury?

Salford will probably be looking for player exchange plus cash for any players that they off-load.
They have done remarkably well in the past with other teams unwanted players. |

Unless it's just lazy journalism in relation him still in a recovery phase from his previous injury. Obviously nothing from the club but lets hope its nothing. |

Isn't it more that Salford have been/are living beyond their means and the RFL has had to step in and enforce a maintainability cap to stop them doing that? Can't be asking for £0.5M worth of urgent advance payments to keep the lights on. |

Heard he’s done his hamstring. I see Salford have now pulled out of pre-season friendlies, what a bloody mess.
