Excellent news for Salford and SL.

Why is good for SL? Its not like they have tied down prime Thurston to a 7 year contract. They have tied down a halfback who was absolutely terrible in the NRL. Go ask the Broncos fans what they think of him. Specifically his kicking game

All this says is "are you a terrible NRL halfback?" come over here and we will give you 300K aus dollars a year for 7 years

No it doesn’t, it says the quality of SL is poor. Look at the quality of overseas signings at all clubs and they wouldn’t have got a sniff 20 years ago.

How is it good for SL as you claimed, that a terrible NRL halfback gets one of, if not the biggest contracts money wise in SL history?

It just makes SL look even more of a joke than it already is

Because he is a quality player in SL.

Some players suit SL more than they do the NRL. Some fantastic players have struggled to adapt to SL, been disappointing over the years gone back and gone very well in the NRL.

He is a quality entertaining Super League player and it is good for the competition that a proven quality SL player is remaining in the competition.

Because, like it or not, he is one of the better players in the competition. Given that he has signed for Salford gives them a better opportunity of challenging the bigger teams, which is good for the sport. He will not be paid one of the biggest contracts in SL history, Salford haven’t got the financial resources to pay him a king’s ransom.

Wigan Warriors can confirm that both Harvie Hill and Zach Eckersley will head to London Broncos RL on one-month loan deals.

Good moves, they are both multiple injuries away from being needed and it gives them more experience against grown men

Both don’t quite look ready for SL, particularly Hill, but both need to be playing and at a level above where they would be if they stayed at the club.

Great move and one that has served us well consistently when it comes to bridging the gap.

Reigning man of steel signing a new deal isn’t good for super league?

Give up mate.
