Salford sales to start immediately, I would expect Brierley, Cross, Lafai, MacDonald, Sneyd, Ormondroyd, Shorrocks, Watkins all to have new clubs before the weekends out.

If there's no dispensation then which clubs realistically have space at this stage of preseason?

I reckon we’ll get Watkins. RFL have told them they have to sell players or thet won’t be able to register players for this season. Reduced cap of 1.2m

[quote="Seth":1acmvhaz]If there's no dispensation then which clubs realistically have space at this stage of preseason?[/quote:1acmvhaz] Hull, Wire, Leigh and Cas, so far as I can make out.

Think wakey have just cleared a quota spot by terminating a contract sharpish too.

Cross - Hull FC Ormondroyd - Castleford Sneyd, Shorrocks - Leigh Watkins - Leeds These are five moves I think are likely. MacDonald, Lafai, Nikorima, Stone, Wright, Lewis, Marsters will get looked at elsewhere but unless quota spots open, only Wakefield, Castleford, Huddersfield and Catalan can look at them.

I could just see Wire ( with their elastic cap) fitting him in. Guess we'll know soon enough.

Did Watkins leave on good terms. I know it wasn’t bad terms but was he pushed out a bit at the time?

Salford will be needing replacements for the likes of sneeeyd. Is there a case for sinfield helping out for a season?
