It all started with Wakey in 2015 who replaced virtually half their team !
It is the nature of the beast I am afraid, bottom of SL want to stay up for the finances, top of Championship want to go up for the finances & glory of promotion !

I would be unhappy if Leigh did not try to strengthen at this time, even if the horse has already bolted !

Apart from the fact they didn't.
We signed players and kept them when a new coach came in.
Bill Tupou was one of those. Seems like a good signing to me.

Many on here would like to see the top 6 playoffs back, I’m not one of them as I agree if you don’t finish in the top 4 you don’t deserve a shot at the grand final.

This is the 1st thing you've posted that I agree with in a long time !

2x Semi-finals played on same day with 1st v 4th & 2nd v 3rd, 1st & 2nd get Home advantage then the Big one at O.T

Positions 5>8 play off for the Not worth playing for Cup !
9>12 play off with Championship top 4 for SL inclusion !

The big question is: will Jackson Hastings stay with Salford beyond this year, even if Salford is relegated?

Of course not. If he had wanted to stay beyond the end of the season he would have accepted the Huddersfield deal. He has only joined Salford so he can try to get an NRL deal for next year.

Jackson Hastings can't be angling for an NRL deal next year. Nobody in the NRL wants him because he is a serial pest.

Hastings will possibly make a slight impression at Salford, where he will be a foil for the magnificent Robert Lui -- that is if he doesn't get into a fist fight with Lui in the interim.

If a player doesn’t get a visa before next weeks transfer deadline does that mean the deal falls through?

It should do IMO, we have a transfer deadline for a reason and a transfer can’t be completed without a visa.

Jackson Hastings at Salford, Todd Carney st Hull kr and an unnamed play at Leigh are also waiting for visas.

Widnes Vikings
