We get McDonald then as Sao disappears and the above 4 wages aren’t that much compared to McDonald

We need a CENTRE and a Stand Off
Not a 35 year old scrum half in Sneyd

I can imagine that moving to a club in financial difficulties may not be hugely appealing to Lane, Fash and Sao.

What would be in it for the players? I can’t see any players from any SL club wanting a swap as who’d want to risk not getting paid but especially 3 players based or settled in Hull.

Also I know it was last season but Macdonald was there the Sky research had Salford’s wage bill down as ridiculously low, only just higher then part time London. Swap deals with established SL players won’t likely work for Salfords financial situation because the players coming in likely wouldn’t be far off what they pay ‘stars’ like Macdonald anyway.

Exactly some fans think it easy, click your fingers and you can get rid of players and replace them.

I don’t think it’s easy to offload players

It’s an idea - a suggestion - a hint at some of the baggage we’re still carrying

The truth is that some swap deals would interest Salford - they will still need full time professionals albeit on lower salaries

Let’s see what happens but fwiw
I’d love to see us replace Lane Fash and Sao, and the sooner the better
