Surely we have to go for Sneyd and Watkins.
Hull fan has just told me they are in for Sneyd and Cross.

Salford are losing money hand over fist and that`s after getting probably more money than most on player sales these last 2 years.
If they sell even more of their top players Sneyd, Cross, Watkins to name 3.
Then their chances of winning games will diminish even further and as a result will lose their fanbase and revenue.
It`s like a slow death unfortunately.
I would love Sneyd at Leeds but doubt we will fork out the transfer fee or be able to offload Frawley.

Thinking about this a bit more I would be happy with Sam Stone from Salford who always looks good when I`ve seen him play.

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Thu Jan 09, 2025 5:27 pm  

Not remotely convinced we'll be in for either/any.

As the RFL have said they will give dispensation as regards the salary cap re signing Salford players , we have to go for Sneyd. He would solve a major problem in our team - our kicking game ( Frawley ) is terrible. He has no distance and cant find the ground - it is a massive weakness - compare him to Smith at Wigan. The kicking game is more important in the current game more than ever before .
As Salford will need players in to replace those leaving , we could use Frawley as part of the deal. This move , if successful , would give us
great chance of competing for the top 4.

Syned and Frawley will probably be on similar money so not sure what Salford would gain other than a fee for Syned which won't be high considering his age .

Bringing Watkins back makes absolute sense, he’s been great in the second row and also is a good goal kicker. When you think about it we’ve only got McDonnell, Bentley and then it’s Gannon, Littlewood.

Miller
Sivo Newman Handley Hall
Croft Frawley
Oledzki Ackers Palasia
Bentley McDonnell
Smith

Connor, Lisone, Jenkins, Watkins (O’Connor injured)

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Thu Jan 09, 2025 7:45 pm  

Watkins makes a lot of sense. Not sure I’d be too interested in anyone one else. Maybe sneyd if nothing else it’ll let Sinfield go on a proper loan.

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Thu Jan 09, 2025 8:26 pm  

No chance Frawley goes - BA likes/rates him and made him captain for a game last season.

If we go for anyone it will be Watkins IMO.

I agree. We currently bat deep at half back (Croft, Frawley, Connor, Sinfield) but we're light in the 2nd row, which is a far more attritional position. Watkins makes more sense, and if anybody is well positioned to strike a deal it would be Blease.

This was something Matt Shaw came up with in a largely nonsensical article. The pre-season training trip will have been booked and paid for a long time ago.
