I’ve stayed away for a while as a lot of the time, it just feels like petty point scoring and arguing.

Thought I’d weigh in. I’d argue that some of our signings individually are steady but as a unit I’m not a fan.

Asiata, Cartwright, Hardaker & Rapana will be good additions.

I would probably take Sezer or Abdull individually but not both.

Cust could be anything be anything but a big risk and not a signing I would make. Him and Sezers quota could’ve been better used.

Sign a decent prop like Byrne would make a big impact for us. Sign a decent prop and I don’t think top 6 with a ton of luck is impossible. I’d have us 8-10 hopefully but with luck with injuries and players settling we could do better.

Funnily, a Rovers player did tell me he thinks we have recruited really well and will be the surprise package this year and a member of their coaching team told me that if we fix the atmosphere & S&C teams we will be around the play offs.

I’d hope Balmforth, Staveley & waignhouse have extensions before the end of pre season. Potentially Barron if he progresses nicely.

I’d then extend Ashworth and Sao (if non quota)

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.
