| rah rah Season is over
and other than than the Dobson link & Hauraki bringing in someone from the dark-side would be newsworthy , we've been linked with a fair few @-

Tomkins . Tuilagi etc
I'd settle for a double signing Taulupe Faletau & George North ..

| He's a big friend of Rangi's and if he helps him play to his full potential next year it's worth signing Hauraki just for that. I wouldn't say I'm jumping up and down with excitement about this signing but he should add some size to the pack and he's better than some of our fringe players.
The best news for me was about Marc Sneyd returning because he's a quality young player that came through our youth system.

Did they announce Sneyd is coming back as well? Switched off after the announcement.
Should put an end to the cringey speculative posts from some Cas fans at least.

Yes he met up with the Doc and the CEO earlier in the week and it was confirmed that he will be returning next year.

I thought when the CEO mentioned Cas I was thinking Daryl Clark.

I'm supposing that this is actually the best announcement for Salford fans today.

| As I have said on Facebook, I was not expecting a big name signing announcement. Marwan has been great for us, but he is an egoist and would not let anyone else steal his thunder by making a really big announcement.
For what it is worth I think he is an ok signing. The salary cap restricts how many really big signings you can make, so you do need journeymen as I have heard Weller described as. Seem to remember in his last season at Crusaders he ran all over us at Wrexham, May have scored a couple of tries as well that night.

| After watching the supine superstars brought to the club for this campaign,it is refreshing to see players who the coach has worked with before arriving and having the concept of hard work and team work.
If he has been signed as long ago as the rumours started,it has been an impressive piece of work persuading him to leave Cas shortly after [url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/castleford-tigers/castleford-tigers-tigers-take-things-in-stride-under-powell-1-6504855this interview[/url
The coach he has left does seem to be able to put the pieces of the jig-saw in the correct places with a whole host of underwhelming players from the flotsam and jetsam of under-achievers.

| underwhelmed.... understatement of the season ..
maybe that's a good thing.
After the months of ' ace' signings that have build our hopes up for a good season that have failed to deliver .
a signing that doesn't raise our expectations may be beneficial.
At the end of the season we may reflect the Evalds getting game time & Sneyd returning are as much a high point as a Sau , Locke or a Chase like signing.
the Show is not on listen again yet but I'm sure the CEO said something like Sneyd will be one of the 4 halfbacks for next season ?

| Give the lad a chance. Last year we signed Rangi & Marc Sneyd went the other way. Take a look at some of the posts on the Cas forum around that time. Very condescending to say the least!
Today the biggest news is Marc coming back.
We need some craft around the loose forward position and maybe Weller will provide that.
It's a position that needs strengthening so maybe it is a good signing.
I think he'll go well.

Aye. Probably not worth the build up they gave it, but this isn't a bad signing at all. Let's not get all Warrington-like and thinking we're bigger than we actually are. Andy Gregory has identified our lack of a loose forward as one reason why the halves have been misfiring, and this looks like a fix for that problem.

Yup. Chase, Fages, Sneyd and one other. I'm finding that one hard to believe.
Other little snippets:
Shane Flanagan won't be coming over. Problems getting a visa and him starting back at Cronulla in September have meant there's not enough time left for him to do a three month stint over here. Instead, the club have been staying in regular contact with him over all sorts of issues - including player recruitment - and Iestyn will go down to Cronulla to work with him during the close season (assuming he's still our coach then).
For the benefit of the gumptard who started the thread over on the VT about Smith and McPherson being kicked out, Tim Smith left by mutual agreement and Shannan Mc asked for an early release to return to his family in Australia.
Interesting little comment from Gareth Hock about Marwan and the crap people say about him. He said you need to meet him to see what he's really like. He's also really happy at Salford.

| The jig-saw is slowly coming together for next season, here’s how our 2015 first choice 13 looks at the moment with just a few blanks left to be filed (more signings to be announced soon too). Plenty of pace and power throughout the backs, half-backs speak for themselves and our back rowers look excellent too.
1. Kevin Locke
2. Greg Johnson
3.
4. Junior Sa’u
5. Ben Jones-Bishop
6. Rangi Chase
7. Michael Dobson/Marc Sneyd
8.
9.
10. Lama Tasi
11. Gareth Hock
12. Harrison Hansen
13. Weller Hauraki

| I said this the other day all we need is a hooker, centre and prop then were complete. Maybe they might give Walne brothers, Ford & Owen a go i would not be too disappointed with this.

Dudson and Goulding are two names that keep getting mentioned.
A top quality hooker with pace that causes havoc running from dummy half would be top of my shopping list. Daryl Clark would be ideal but I think we may have to look overseas and release another quota player.
