You need to consider what you are posting pal your post on the Salford board and comments are tantamount to admitting that Salford are tapping players up.

You maybe right of course and salford may have approached Wakey to speak to Smith I guess time will tell.

Yes you need to be very careful, Tim is a contracted player and I would have hoped Salford have gone through the correct channels if this is true.

T smith is a player we simply cannot afford to lose on the eve of the most important season for ages.

I hope this is either rubbish or that he stays and Salford are fined for tapping up a contracted player.

If it transpires that the club have agreed to sell him, then I hope the fee is decent and they have a bloody good replacement lined up

It makes it hard to take someone seriously when they put that many exclamation marks on the end of their statement.

They have done exactly the same with Chase at Cas Tigers. He is still contracted to WTW as Chase is to CT. Salford dangle the carrot and we then have to work-out if the offer is too good to turn down. Do we sell or take to benjamins?

What surprises me is how Salford have been allowed to ride a coach and horses straight through the protocol clubs have to go through when signing players. They have no morals whatsoever and the way they go about recruitment is having a detrimental effect on opposing supporters. They are certainly not winning any fans over from other clubs and the annimosity the Chase saga has caused at CT is unbelievable.

If Tim goes then it says it all, AG told us when he took over that in three years we would be up to the max salary cap, hope its not true, but if it is we can kiss good by to a bright future at Wakefield, just the same selling then struggle, please let it not be true, if true selling season tickets will be hard to sell.

If we're true along with players already signed surely Salford already near cap.

Salford wont be near their cap at all. As of the end of the year nearly all the current squad, barring a few already signed-on and some young lads, will not be there next season. They are effectively starting from scratch on the cap front.

I'd be inclined to believe you on this score. The Salford poster who came out with this one has suddenly appeared out of nowhere and been stirring stuff on the Salford board. He may be correct and that's fine, but he just seems to want to rub people up the wrong way.

They would be up to the cap.

The cap is a fixed amount for all clubs that they can spend up to for the top 25 players in that squad, and it is the same figure for every club.

The way that some teams get round it is if you have a player who gets into the England knights train on squad, and was part of your academy set up, then the club whos academy that player was in, will get a certain amounted funded to their salary cap.

Unfortunately, if you are a spending club, rather than a club who develops their own pool of talent, you will get to the cap a lot quicker.

There are other ways too, I think to do with your top 25 earners, and if one of these were in your academy set up
(so Leeds with the likes of Burrow, McGuire and probably Watkins would probably get some of their cap credited back)

As of several months ago, my eyes glaze over whenever I see a story that contains the words 'Salford' and 'signing' - they've been linked to just about every player in SL since Koukash starting waving his magic cheque book around and quite frankly, it's become boring.

If they are talking to Smith, I hope they went through the proper channels; if they didn't, I hope we take them to the cleaners. If they did and he goes, I also hope we take them to the cleaners. Koukash' behaviour has been reminiscent of a bloke walking into a car showroom and announcing that he has 20 grand to spend on a car - everyone club sees him coming and adds 25% to the value of their players.

Seriously doubt that there is anything in this but if there is we would be stupid to sell at any price given whats coming next year. It would send a message out to the fans that we are back to being a feeder club which would hit ticket sales massively and probably result in our relegation next year as there just aren't any quality replacements available. He is our most creative player by a country mile and must be kept.

Not a chance.

Most of the players signed for next season are young academy lads. Most of the current squad will not be there next season. Salford are starting with a practically blank sheet. They will have added some on with the announced signings, but will be nowhere near full with their cap.
