| Quote: DaveO "I don't see the problem with those signings. No really top class players are going to sign for a club in Salford's position despite whatever money is on offer from Koukash.
Those players will make them miles more competitive than they are now and should get them in the play offs. The key will be to build on that because some of the older players won't last long but I can't see why people are dismissing these signings.
They are exactly what I'd expect a club in Salfords position to make. Things like youth development take time to set up and they aren't going to get top NRL players so what did people expect?'"
Just spoke to Martin Gleeson he said the signings havnt finished there's 2 more massive signings to be finalized, I tried my best to get him to spill but he said he'd get the sack if he told anyone.

There's something that's never happened before.
You could, of course, look at all this from another point of view. There's been a fair bit of POSITIVE RL publicity on Sky today as a result of this. I presume that Wigan are getting a fee for Hock and Cas will be getting a big fat cheque for Chase. Tim Smith has already been paid for and I don't know if London are getting a fee for the year left on Tommy Lee's contract or not. In addition there should be a big increase in Salford's gates home and away next year and the presence oif all these new players should make the start of next season quite intriguing.
All this brings publicity, and more importantly, money, into the game. A couple more owners like Koukash and the whole thing could get very interesting.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| Quote: Geoff "Well yeah, but it wasn't buying players that turned Wire round, it was getting Smith in for Cullen (and Lowes). Their big spending when Moran took over (around 2003, IIRC) didn't work until they sorted the coaching out.'"
This is the biggest difference.

Bobby Goulding said the fee was £112k which isnt too bad to be honest.

If Wigan have received a similar size fee for Hock, then its cracking business by IL. What baffles me is why the fees are never officially reported these days.

At least try to be original with your put downs.
And for those that still insist that Salford dont have an academy or produce their own talent they won the U20s Grand Final last night.

I wouldn't shout too loudly about that. They played sides from the Championship.

I personally think he is great for the game and is what RL has been crying out for for a long time. If only we could have another 3 or 4 like him and Super League would be transformed in my opinion.

Agree, we need more than a few teams at the top.
Huddersfield, Warrington, Leeds, Wigan, Saints could all win the GF this year to be honest.
Much better than Leeds or Saints as it was a few years ago.

We couldn't register for the SL academy league as the deadline had passed due to our situation, we didn't do to bad last year in the SL academy league, we finished top of the regular season only being eliminated in the Playoffs. Lets see how we go next year aye.
