Looking from the outside in, if I was a fan at Wigan or Warrington (will never,ever, ever happen) I would look at our recruitment and say that Leeds were stronger but still not going to be top 3 material. They will not be looking at the names signed and say why didn't we get them! Hopefully that will change over the course if the season. It is easy to get carried away when the new recruits are announced. Look how happy we were last year with Croft and Ackers. We knew to begin with that we were at least 1 prop short but we had visions of being back in the mix for play offs.
fingers crossed that the sum of the whole is greater than the individuals. I will always have hopes of getting to Old Trafford but i still don't see it for 2025.
Are we moving in the right direction, yes i think so. I will still renew my season ticket and hope to be entertained and not leaving HQ depressed like this year

In that case there'll be plenty of interest in their overseas players. I'd definitely take Lafai. Wrong side of 30, but still quality. I like Shane Wright as well.

Didn’t we do something similar with Wellington Albert when Widnes got into difficulty. Anyone signed from Widnes was given exemption from cap and quota for the length of that intial contract.

Salford should have done the honourable thing end of last season and stepped down from SL and allowed London to keep their place. With the IMG grading system this makes should not have happened and makes the game look bad

It doesn`t look like we will be signing Watkins or any other Salford player unless we are well under the cap. A meeting of owners on Tuesday, saw the dispensation proposals thrown out - despite Salford being among the clubs to vote in favour of them being put in place. Many clubs believe allowing clubs to spend beyond the salary cap restrictions in place would damage competition integrity.
