Keep hearing players are just going to Salford for the money as if it’s something new!!! Wake up all you Salford haters Wigan and the other so called big clubs have been poaching players with promises of riches far above what they were currently earning at so called smaller clubs for years!!! I’ve watched dozens of talented players move to the likes of Wigan, Warrington and saints for the money!!! So now the balance of power is swinging get used to it!!!! If Salford can attract the best players in the world because they can afford it so be it and bring it on!!!

Wigan, Warrington and Saints.. all teams who have had success. Good example.

Until Salford begin to remotely look like they'll win something in our lifetime, they will continue to be seen as a club who attract players wanting a big pay day.

Lol

The balance of power isn't swinging on the league table last time I looked.

Big difference between spending money on one or two players pre-season and buying a new team. Not that Marwan would understand that.

Look at difference between cas and Salford money dosent guarantee a winning team!!

With the exception of Morley,

You look at any other big name. Tell them 3 years ago they'll end up at Salford. They'd have snubbed it. That's the difference.

If London was in Salford's situation right now, buying up all these players - everyone would be creaming themselves. As it is, good luck to Salford. It's how the world works.

The likes of Leeds/Saints/Wigan are always usually favourites to be in finals and winning things as well as the money though.

Big difference between getting good money and challenging for and winning trophies.......compared to getting good money and challenging for 10th in the table.

Hope this clears this up for you.

Not just pots though - international recognition too - an average player at Leeds/Wigan/Saints has as much chance at selection as an excellent player elsewhere...

Unfortunately for Castleford, having not much money doesn't guarantee keeping that winning team. Should be interesting to see who Powell has lined up for next year if the rumoured departures are true.

Well they aren't going for the trophies, massive crowds, delightful city or the architecturally stunning playing arena.

Salford though.

Whilst I might agree that Salford might have to spend over the odds to get their men at present it isn't a bad city to live in at all.

It is a large, diverse place and sure there are areas that you might not chose to live in, but, there are plenty of "delightful" bits to compete with anything that the likes of Wigan, Warrington, St Helens and Wakefield can offer

has airedale been flattened now then ? if ever the British army needed an estate to prepare itself for an op in an unfriendly occupied built up area . that estate and its occupants would be the perfect training tool

It would help if they knew a good player when they saw one instead of letting the likes of Sneyd go out on loan.

what's Airedale got to do with the price of fish?

Imagine if Salford got relegated lol. Nice trip to Batley for Locke

On a serious note they will come good and be defo top 8 next year. Just going to take more time than first thought

The fact that they [iloaned[/i him to Castleford as part of the Chase deal rather than [isold[/i him suggests they do.

except the difference is players go to those clubs to win silverware and play at the pinnacle of the game, can't really say that about salford can we?

Seems like a good place to put this:

Kind of makes Ben Jones-Bishop seem like a slap in the face

Why?

No he always looks like that with his scrum hat on.

The balance of power is in youth and not cheque book has Beens.

It makes you wonder what Marc Sneyd would like to do next year. The fact that Powell has said he would like to come to an agreement with Salford indicates that our coach has spoke to MS and has got the answer he wanted.

If Dr Evil wants another unhappy half-back on his books then fine. MS only has another year left to do. We'll take him off you for nowt in 2016.
