We were in for him before, so I think Radford thinks he can.

That was before his racist comments. Surely we won't want to be associated with that? If salford are binning him for it I don;t think we should get involved personally despite his ability

Do you know what the comments were

The club did an internal investigation and deemed it was the best if Carney moved on. Whether or not he said and meant the comments is another story. Carney just like Griffin who you also took seems to like the idea if being a big fish in a small pond.

Agree with this. I'm sure there are other good wingers out there who don't come with the luggage so it's not worth the risk imo

Hmmm not good, no excuse

New 1 year deals expected for Mini, Washbrook and Talanoa according to the HDM. No brainer on the first two for me, but still unsure on Talanoa due to the various injuries he's had, but he may be good value salary wise.

HDM also think talks with Ellis are on hold while he is injured, and club sre resigned to loosing Fonua and are scouting replacements.

Not really a surprise, as you have said Talanoa is the one up for debate, but with Fonua going it makes sense to keep him for another year.

Think we will see two players signed a winger and forward, with the other departing players replaced internally.

No mention of Thompson, is he definitely OOC?

Guess he won't be signing for us, now he has signed at Rovers, good signing for them if he can stay in control on the pitch.
