| Excited to see what Eckersley and Douglas can bring, as and when they get a chance. I saw quite a bit of Douglas in pre season and he looks a real talent. Eckersley looks ready for a chance going off his loan spells. I’d like that safety net of Hampshire as a back up as well but moving those 2 up a spot, to cover Thornley and Custs (obviously Hampshire would cover that, which would then move both the young lads closer to a game) exits is fine by me.

| So if there is another signing in addition to Thompson which position do we think it will be?

I'd say half back or loose forward. That does of course mean that one of Field, French or Smithies could possibly be off. Hope not but you never know.
Not a clue if it's a half and the only major signing i can think of at loose is Radley.

Well, there's Farrell. But I don't think we need him, and I can't believe Radley would want to leave the NRL, even if he is no longer eligible for rep games.

The scheme though surely was purely for a short term injection it not sustainable to keep doing that,you’re bang on they need a backer and one who has a vision for the long term future and stability of the club.

Definitely a short term vision (as in a year or two) but the money was raised with a promise of turning them in to a club that keeps their players and to stop them being a selling club. They hit the target on 30th May (looking at the reports online) and we then signed Dupree on 26th July. It took less than 2 months to go against the vision and it then feels like nothing more than a desperate bid to get some cash in, to keep the wolves from the door.

27588.gif "Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

| Paul McShane is now rumoured to be going back to Leeds so I guess this pours cold water on Powell to Leeds?

Salford, sadly, are in a very precarious financial state - narrowly avoiding failing to pay the players wages earlier this year and looking to the council to bail them out by buying the stadium and reducing the rent.
Their financial struggles are well documented over recent years, and without a wealthy benefactor there may well be further players moving on.

What happened to Seb Gerrard, owner of an engineering firm in Swinton?

It will be announced when it needs to be let’s focus on winning SL this year and keep it in the back pocket should we need a moral boosting announcement or add to the celebrations should we be successful.
