Am I alone in wanting us to sign James Bentley for next season as at the moment he will be out of contract at Leeds. Will give us some much needed aggression in our pack

Dupree signed a 3 year contract in December 22. Can’t see Salford letting him go just yet.

They're currently raising £100,000 off supporters. A nice, fat transfer fee would be most welcome for Salford.....and they'd probably replace him adequately considering how astute they are at recruitment.

They've also got a fans share issue to raise £250k at £250 a pop (I think) to try and get some much needed funds into their club and help ward off any unwanted interest such as this.

What's £150k between friends

My figure was from a pal who's just put in his £250 and he mentioned the higher figure I posted. However, your £100k could be a part covered by the fans shares and the higher number might be a serviced debt...or something aspirational over time.

Anyway, one thing we can agree on, is that they are careful with their cash and have made some astute signings

No you're probably right, I just saw that they had already raised £100k and fair play to them. If they sell us Dupree they can get to £250,000 immediately

It's clear Salford are struggling financially. What are they going to do when this 250k runs out? They are in no position to turn down any sort of transfer fee, which is why they have got their decent players tied down on long contracts. 8 years in the case of Croft!

Personally would not want him but Walters is off contract. Leeds seem keen to want to keep him I’d like to see him here.
