I personally would hope we'd get a fee for Abdull but I reckon we will let him go for nothing, I'd also assume you aren't the only club in for him so will have to throw some money at him to secure his signing. You can use the marquee £50k loophole but then you'd have your 3 marquee spots taken up by Abdull, Asiata and Trueman. Hell of a lot of risk there with all 3 not having great injury records, maybe a risk you have to take.

I bet Rowley is glad he turned us down

Without a quota spot there isn't much at Salford I'd make a move for, we are well covered in those positions or it isn't worth a fee for the other non quota players.

Still can't believe we aren't looking for some more depth at centre.

We don't really have much strength in depth anywhere in the squad if you take out our young players which leads me to think we either have a reasonable amount of cap left or the salary cap management still isn't great. Maybe we've had to pay over the odds for some players but realistically we haven't got that many senior players who won't be in the starting 17 if everyone is fit

Not many teams do, mainly because of the cap, take Wigan, while there pack is strong, there back ups for FB, centre and wing are all young very inexperienced kids.
