Not sure I'd agree. "On paper" we've signed a 37 year old winger, one prop with some NRL experience and another with none. Siva might be added, but the reality is we're taking a punt on Arthur's ability to revamp the existing players and spot decent NRL ones.

Wings of Siva and Hall will be very strong but our back division won't exactly be lightning fast. That means to use them we'll need to get good field position and work moves to give them space. That screams structure and planned moves.

[quote="Simmo71":3951o8ib]How can we take Macdonald or Stone? We don't have a quota space available. Or is there dispensation on quota spots as well as salary cap?[/quote:3951o8ib] Dispensation.

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.
