Or thane:I absolutely hate this, not Liam Knight as i'd be happy with him here, what i hate is that Burgess wasn't interested in the first place.He's knows him, has played with him, would have known he was available but wasn't interested, now he's playing really well Burgess is suddenly interested in poaching him. My confidence in Burgess has disintegrated very quickly, and he seems deluded and panicky with things he's doing. If we sign Him we should get rid of Musgrove and keep Vaughan. Byrne, Knight, Vaughan, Harrison, Yates, Philbin & Wood looks pretty solid, Crowther as back up possibly as well. Dan Russell i had a good feeling about, then saw him play and oh dear, not his fault but he's more championship level. We need 2 new good props minimum, and Either Play leyland or let him go. And just move on from Russell, and hopefully Lindop and Wrench both stay fit and keep developing. I like king, nothing fancy but is a workhorse centre and makes more yards and gets us on the front foot more than our props at times. And only costing 50k on the cap is a BIG plus, but the fact we haven't re-signed him already suggests he's on his way out. To be fair on Burgess didn't Knight only become available mid season when we had no quota spots left? Whether we should have filled that last spot with Russell is obviously the question we all know the answer to, its left our hands tied - maybe we would have been in a better position to bring Amone in if we had that flexibility of a free spot. Bringing in Russell certainly seems panic stations after losing Bateman & Nicholson, keeping our powder dry would have seemed the better option. King at £50k on the cap works well for his current contract, but I'm sure his next deal will be lower so the benefit is reduced, maybe having Walker / Ashton on £100k cap or Currie on £50k cap may work just as well. I'd keep King, but his salary has to be right and as you say Lindop should be considered first choice centre next year on his preferred side. Wrench I think at this stage can only be considered a back up given his injury issues of the past two years. |

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,
