It's just an endless cycle with Salford that never looks like it will never end .

the game loses London scholars, and gateshead thunder, Cas openly admitting to operating well under cap, Toulouse reported to possibly be in trouble now and with their ground issues and now this you have to wonder about Salford as well. Nene McDonald is a strange one indeed. The game is certainly in a bit of a state at present.

Catch 22 for them, buy shares or club dies!

From what I saw last season of Croft, wasn't as good when he won MOS

It was the way the shares thing was done, wasn't it sold to them it would stop them selling players.

Aren't we after a centre/secondrower, Kallum Watkins would be nice.

Good bit of business for Leeds , At least it'll keep their fans off Hetherington's back for a little while .

Shame we didn't go all out to get Ackers if he was available, could've then used Browns quota spot to improve the back row

Who would have played 7 while Trueman was out.

I would have loved Ackers, but also important to sign another halfback for next season.

Plus the fact, that we have no spare money it seems to pay a fee.

Mmmmm, Koukash certainly did a job on them. Threw money at them, couldn’t get his own way with RFL so spat his dummy out and walked away. Some of the things Derek Beaumont has said remind me a lot of Marwan, similar arguments with RFL and has suggested he’d walk away.

Real shame to see Leeds dismantling salford, would’ve liked Ackers for us but Nu brown will likely be hooker for 2025,2026 I imagine.

Been a real pleasure speculating over who we would sign with you these last few months. I imagine we’ll have a preseason thread going soon.

Looking on Rugby League Project, Brown has played a lot of 13 - be good to see him there for us at times during the season. Slightly concerned about our number 7 scenario - is Medforth anywhere near?
