I have no issue with it providing 1) they give the club that trained and developed them some good service at 1st team level first (5 years as a ballpark figure) and 2) they don't break a contract or kick up a fuss if the club doesn't allow it.

The salaries on offer in PNG will be staggering given they are tax free. If I was a British player my CV would be in the post.

Thought when I saw the first mention of rumours regarding Brierley that we might sign him for a fee and immediately loan him back to Salford. No doubt we'd have to pay a fee and a part of his salary with Salford paying a lesser part than now.
If we got an injury to Field then Brierley is a quality and experienced replacement.
It always seems to be sods law that if a player in a position gets an injury someone playing a similar position will get an injury or suspension. Obviously a team only has one full back but if, say, Eckersley starts playing for a injured back then another three-quarter will be missing games for some reason.
If Brierley's signing did go ahead then the club are covering themselves with experienced and reserve team players. A very good place to be.

Completely disagree.

If Field gets injured French or Eckersley goes to 1.

If French goes then Farrimond gets a start in the halves.

If Eckerskey goes he gets game time in SL.

We don’t need Brierley he doesn’t improve our squad in any way.

Would be a poor signing and a rumour I see no truth in.
