Well its nearly pay day again and as far as I can see no major investment has been forthcoming and season ticket take up has been pitiful, stands to reason Trinity need to offload another player to pay the wages as per Tim Smith.

I've no current bids/offers to consider from anyone?

There you go.

That's not what I read at all.
He didn't want to go but accepted Wakefield needed the money and took one for the team while benefiting personally as well.
Not the same as a lie at all.

Well we all hear different things and that certainly doesn't tally with the story I was told.

I heard Smith had been a bit of a nightmare to manage for a good couple of months as he was hankering after a move (not that I blame him as he has got a decent wedge payrise out of it and it's a short career).
It certainly benefitted the club but I don't think he was sold against his will!!

Daddy cool stated at the fans forum that the first time he heard about Tim Smith to Sslford was from a call by the Dr saying is the deal done yet? tim Smith pushed for a move.

You might have just jinxed your team there mate, well with what I've heard anyway.

Once again Salford fans appearing to know more about OUR club than us or Michael Carter.

The situation with Tim Smith is different to those from the Crusaders and should not be confused. Salford signed him but he unlike those at the Crusaders had employment so in theory could not be classed as being disadvantaged by staying at Wakefield. The Crusaders had gone into liquidation therefore the RFL to assist the players who were not responsible for their demise an exemptions to allow them to be able to find a club at short notice.
This was announced by the RFL to alert teams therefore I think it is unlikely that Smith will be classed as exempt. I presume this is Salford's attempt to try to justify the number of players from overseas. If the rl do change the number of non uk players I am afraid Smith will still be on quota.

Well if it does go to seven then we'll still be with in the limit won't we.

If we had a pound for every time a Salford fan "in the know" came on here predicting this and that we'd have enough money to start buying your players.
Pipe down, our chairman has said he is unaware of any deals so unless Dr K is up to his under hand tricks again, "what you've heard" is worth little.
Jeez!!!

Call me wrong but Smith is Australian and will stay on the quota. We are not questioning that you have signed him but the fact that some Salford supporters assume he is exempt giving you an additional spot. We are not in the position Crusaders were and therefore assuming our publicised money problems are the same is wrong. If you had an exemption I am sure the RFL would need to declare it rather than give Salford exclusive rights. If they had then we could question if we got the best deal because other clubs were disadvantaged thinking they would be signing a quota player.

That is a very good point mate

Not sure about this but didn't clubs have to vote to decide that players would be given dispensation at crusaders. More than likely this would be the case and doubt they would just hand Salford a unfair advantage just like that. Salford and and the DR along with the RFL are going to make a mockery of our sport. Who actually wants to watch their team that contains mostly imports and a journey man and one that may spend a bit of time in front of the panel from time to time?

Latest is that hodgson at wolves has been released. If he goes to Salford something really dodgy is happening. This could add a few hundred to Salfords gates but may drive supporters of other clubs away as no one want to watch a sport were rules are different from one club to another.

Agreed I'll not be going to the away game at Salford because of this!
