[quote="Cuddleclub":1vwksz73]Knee injury a lot worse than initially said, Catalans should have sorted it out last year but they wouldn’t pay for it even though was in the loan agreement with rovers they was responsible for his medical bills. I said we’d struggle to get 10/15 games out of him didn’t expect it to be because he’s not here [/quote:1vwksz73] This is where the club needs to get a lot smarter, Catalan had the chance to keep him and early performances were promising but decided not to. Rovers of course had already loaned him out. We should have read the signs.

That's what they will be telling you!

[quote="RockNRolla":3m5jp4iu]Abdull has been advised to retire due to the severity of his knee problem.[/quote:3m5jp4iu] If that’s true it’s hardly the embarrassment for the club people are making out. It was always a risk given his injury record but let’s not forget it didn’t seem to stop us chasing other halfback targets it’s not like we put all our eggs in that basket, we announced Abdul way before we went for Lam and Sailor etc. It’s just desperately unlucky for Jordan, but if that’s the case you’d imagine they might be insurance and stuff that also might come into play. It does put us in an awkward situation though having to wait on what might or might not happen with Salfords finances and a player that might not fancy the move anyway dictating if we start the season a playmaker down. I’m sure the Cust signing was likely made with an eye on the Abdul situation also.

[quote="DSJ1983"]If that’s true it’s hardly the embarrassment for the club people are making out. Exactly. As usual people quickly jump to conclusions.

Would be very surprised if Sneyd comes back. He left for 2 main reasons 1. To be near his family which Leigh are. 2. 3 year contract I think he will go to Leigh as Beaumont will match whatever Hull offer just to stick 2 fingers up to us. Also dont like players going back plus snyed getting on now so would be a big risk. Other thing Syned and Sezer very similar players. Remember Leeds with Sezer & Austin they were an awfull pairing because they both wanted to organise the team and were both pretty slow. We should wait for other options

Are Salford in warm weather training? If so Sneyd isn't with them
