I think you'll find that somewhere in "that" thread, I stated that we'll make a good signing for 2012 - you read it there first.

Should have brought him in 3 years ago, IF finances would have allowed, (which seems unlikely). Quite a few Salford fans thought he was past his best and that he was just coming home to boost his pension. He has been outstanding at Wire, but perhaps now would be a bit of a gamble. One things for sure, Morley's signature would almost certainly have seen the crowd numbers rise instead of fall.

Under McRae he would not have been played the same so he would have faded, plus £250,000 a year was a quarter of our budget at the time.

Cashmere's going?? that would be a disaster if true as head and shoulders he's our best forward by some distance and without very deep pockets we'll struggle to find anyone with his caliber and impact. Where have you heard this??

I've only heard about it from another thread on here, hope it's not true! Thought with Parrish coming though, it'd be an incentive to stay.

With the new stadium and (hopefully, probably not) an extensive playoff run under our belts, we'd be an exciting prospect for any potential signing.

Whilst Cashmere has had a great season so far my concerns would be whether he was the best we can sign for the outlay. Overseas players cost more in airfares, housing etc so if our budget is limited I would be happy for the board to hopefully sign a younger hungry forward. (no names spring to mind though)

Lets hope Parrish is already doing his homework and looking who to keep and where we can get a better deal.

I expect a few players to be on the way out and maybe we need the money to replace Ratchford, lets face it you can never have enough utility backs can you

Still not heard anything about Cashemere and I don't read posts or threads like the other Cashmere one, do hope it's not true as think we'll miss big Ray more than most. Look what Hull KR payed for Mason and can anyone say that they got a better player for the inflated money?. Think in Cashmeres case it is definately a case of better the devil you know.

Not a rumour and if there's an ounce of truth in the Cashmere story, how about the Aussie veteran Luke Bailey? The guy has been immense in a very poor Titans side this year. A great leader in the pack. Does everything a prop should do plus he chases every loose ball, tracks back on every opposition half break/break and plays lengthy spells for a prop. Much like Cashmere but arguably a tad better?
