[quote="Trojan Horse":lh7zbqlg]There are only a handful of Salford players who could improve us imo but this would be a grand opportunity to secure a target who could figure in the clubs short - med term plans. If they do become salary cap or quota exempt then that could open up the door for Ellis to strengthen short term for this and maybe next season. As I say though, I’d only entertain the short list of players who would challenge our starting 17. Stone, Watkins, Bullock, Sangare, macdonald are the only ones I’d entertain. In fact looking down their squad list it’s hard to believe how well they’ve done recent seasons. Sum more than individual parts.[/quote:lh7zbqlg] Wouldn’t take Bullock or Sangare both very average players who don’t offer anything we don’t already have. Watkins should be our top target in my opinion. Would have loved Sneyd but we have 3 halves now. Lafai or MacDonald improve our centre options massively.

Bain’s a good player but not likely to be a top flight star, which is where we’re aiming these days. Other lads who joined in his cohort - Uele, Rodwell, Vagana - all have potential to be top SL players. I’m not sure Bain did.

Any chance that we might be in for this guy? Only played a handful of NRL games for the Bulldogs last year and didn’t figure in the finals for them, finished the season in the NSW Cup Braden Hamlin-Uele

Plus I'm not sure a player going out of form etc is the one for us - who knows though...

[quote="Trojan Horse":bewy6bm1]If you’re asking about his injury. He played Boxing Day and looked fine and mobile enough.[/quote:bewy6bm1] I completely forgot that he played Boxing Day tbh, just thrashing a few ideas in my head as to why we waited till now to part ways. Must be simple as he's been told he won't be getting regular game time and we want our quota players to be in the 17,
