There are other ways as well:

1 - we may not have spent up to the cap in 2023
2 - Dupree could be on less than Singleton was
3 - Isa and Cooper extensions may have been on reduced salary

I'd be amazed if he hasn't taken a pay reduction. I'd imagine he was on a pretty good wedge as we were pretty desperate to get props in.

Junior has also signed a new deal.

Props win you pots. I think it was a poster on here called Mugwump (wonder what happened to him) use that phrase and it is so true.

A pool of props to choose from made up of:

Thompson, Ellis, Byrne, Havard, Cooper, Mago and Dupree.

With Faz, Walters, Isa and Nsemba in the back row.

That is some pack. I can't recall the last time we've had a pack like that.

Not Wigan related but Jenna Brooks has just tweeted that she’s hearing Brodie Croft has signed for Leigh.

That's a great signing for them. He's been anonymous this year but it's a huge upgrade on Reynolds.

Knowing Beaumont it’s probably Laura Croft , she would look good in leopard skin

I do worry about Salford and their long term sustainability as a professional rugby league club without finding a backer.

Absolutely. Something doesn’t feel right with how things are at Salford. Why the need to sell Dupree and Croft if that share scheme target was hit? It’s going totally against what was promised.

Ive got that paint for ya, one coat gloss.

That scene even features a young Joe Burgess

Eckersley will be backup i imagine, he is about the age where he should be ready for some first team games especially after spending a fair chunk of this season on loan in the championship.

He is on the training clips the club posted this week a few times and looks physically capable, and when i have seen him in the pre season games he looks good, seems to get good wraps from his loans too.
