That is indeed my understanding as well. Wanted to post earlier but discouraged by 'self appointed mods' who would have no doubt pointed out my previous post about Balmforth leaving the club proved wrong, though this was deffo the case before the Myler and Cartwright came on board.

The Connor talks were ongoing before Fev did the deal for Ben Reynolds return.

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.
