I think you need balance in the front row. We used to have two absolute beasts in Peacock and Leuleui who were the starters, with Bailey and Kirke who were simply there to hold the fort while the other two had a rest.

Our balance in FR can't be that heavily weighted on two players anymore. It looks like both Palasia and Jenkins are in the mould of bigger minute props. Palasia seems to have decent hands, and those three alongside Mik and Holroyd (if he can stay fit) could create good consistency across our interchange without loosing intensity.

I'm hopefully Lisone being limited to 15 minute high energy stints will free him up to do his role better. Sangare when he first joined also seemed like a decent enough, shorter minute impact player. I can't understand the desire to have ever made him into a starting FR.

[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.
