Why would you cry? Has been quite entertaining (unlike their team) but now become extremely repetitive. Looks like the combination of 2 new wingers and Briers is going to get them back to the top (there are a couple of more realistic posters as well).

The conundrum, as I see it, is, do we jump for McDonald and use a significant sum when we expect Williams to leave, do we use it for a Williams replacement, or do we go for a big forward bearing in mind the club has stated no big boppers.


I understand the club is unsure if Hayes will make it after the setbacks he has had. Given the current situation, the available money and the immediate need for next year is all around the Stand Off spot 

The McDonald recruitment would only initially be to the end of this season, but  he hasn`t played at all for Salford this season owing to the Salary Cap limitations imposed on them.

He did play for Oldham in the Championship but then moved back home and there must be a question mark about his fitness if he hasn`t been training.


I have watched Hayes play in a lot of his Academy games.  He is an organising scrum half and plays very similar to the way Sneyd does.


He is not a standoff and a Sneyd/Hayes combination wouldn`t be ideal. 

We will use Williams money to replace Williams though right? If we are replacing him with an overseas player we would need to find an additional £50k on our cap - which doesn't seem too much of a stretch?

I believe we’re talking to 3 NRL starting halves with one in particular earmarked - no idea who. 

The club said they're not interested in big boppers but apparently made a play for Papali'i, So that's a contradiction.
I don't get why we wouldn't be after one, doesn't have to be a 10 min big bopper, but you do get big guys that play decent minutes. If we don't want a big bopper we still 100% need a bigger more powerful pack. When we were looking at matty Lees etc that really isn't the answer.
I get you can't just sign who you want, but why do we continually get knocked back by props. And everyone else seems to be able to find them,
