Rankin's a FB, he played two games for GC last year, at FB. He's not that good either.

I think he played FB against us late on in the season?

If it's the same player I'm sure he played 5/8 in a few early rounds of 2012, I didn't think he was that bad tbh.

Paea tweeted "He had an offer from UK,but his knee,was still no good,so it fell through"

AP did state, the half,has a problem due to playing insufficient games.

I see your point however

we had an experienced coach
we had a D.O.R that had done the job before

and look at where that has lead us to.

I'm no fan of Radford but people in the game that know far more about than I do speak highly of him and his ability as a coach so that counts for something I guess.

As long as he is honest and sticks to his word that to get in the 17 each week you have to earn your shirt then that for me is a major plus.

I want players that WANT to be at this club not just because its a big payday. The cap we have seems to have been unwisely spent under PG & SM which has left us again with a difficult task to recruit and in key areas whilst keeping within after upgrading the young players who have done well.

I am sure there would be hell on had we lost Lineham, Shaul & Crooks by not upgrading them sufficiently to get in a top drawer SH & Prop. AP is building a strong club and one for the future and we can only do that by investing in the players coming through. Other clubs will be doing the same as clubs are no longer able to go out and sign 3 or 4 Aus or NZ test standard players and financially with the current SL cap we just can't compete with the NRL packages. In all honesty apart from Rangi Chase signing for Salford there is no real earth shattering signings happening much and even that is not guaranteed to turn Salford into contenders.

Eddie? He's been playing all season for West Tigers reserves, awful player.

There were times last year, when Sezer was injured they played Kelly at 7 and Ash Harro at 6. Says it all really. You never truly know how these guys will go in SL, but he's more a FB that can play in the halves, we want a proper half.

Gentle was undermined by players (in my opinion) and was also possibly a bit too soft.

McRae, well, I've aired my thoughts before on that individual.

the rest I totally agree on, Chase will win nothing at Salford, and DrCash will be gone in a couple of seasons.

He didnt

Even if he turns out to be brilliant, bit of a silly statement until you have seen him play.

Our lat two experienced halfbacks in Seymour and DJ haven't exactly set the league on fire.

anyone heard any more on wether Jordan rankin is the half we are after.someone mentioned ryan millard to me in pub tonight,but that was probably drink talking.

Roberts.

according to the Daily Star Online this morning ( I know) it's John Sutton from Souths .

This John Sutton? Daily Star journos just pick names and clubs out of a hat at random IMO. 4.119140625:5
