Am I alone in wanting us to sign James Bentley for next season as at the moment he will be out of contract at Leeds. Will give us some much needed aggression in our pack

They're currently raising £100,000 off supporters. A nice, fat transfer fee would be most welcome for Salford.....and they'd probably replace him adequately considering how astute they are at recruitment.

They've also got a fans share issue to raise £250k at £250 a pop (I think) to try and get some much needed funds into their club and help ward off any unwanted interest such as this.

What's £150k between friends



My figure was from a pal who's just put in his £250 and he mentioned the higher figure I posted. However, your £100k could be a part covered by the fans shares and the higher number might be a serviced debt...or something aspirational over time.

Anyway, one thing we can agree on, is that they are careful with their cash and have made some astute signings

No you're probably right, I just saw that they had already raised £100k and fair play to them. If they sell us Dupree they can get to £250,000 immediately

It's clear Salford are struggling financially. What are they going to do when this 250k runs out? They are in no position to turn down any sort of transfer fee, which is why they have got their decent players tied down on long contracts. 8 years in the case of Croft!

Personally would not want him but Walters is off contract. Leeds seem keen to want to keep him I’d like to see him here.

Strange announced on BBC before WG, not even mentioned on Sky Sports page.

Good news all the same

https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/rugb ... h-26834836 I mentioned this guy in an earlier post, Saints are after him also according to the rumours, wonder why Leeds let his contract run down if they wanted to keep him.

I don’t know if you’re alone but it would be a massive “no thanks” from me. We have enough suspensions to deal with without that total idiot.

Seems like Walters is going to Saints, would of liked him here.

Couple of people over on Redvee saying Clark is now done deal, apparently we only offered him a 1 year deal on reduced terms.

John Davidson reporting Clark for Saints too. He’s one of our biggest earners and Danny Walker appears to now be number 9.

A couple of the Redvee mob not to happy about the Clark signing, Saddened is getting saddened by the day

Sad to see him go but i think (for us anyway) he's past his best. Danny at 9 with hopefully a back up hooker would be fine by me.
Next year hopefully bring in a strike centre, or Wrench and King at centre. Doubt it with King but you never know.
Clark leaving will give us a good chunk of money to strengthen elsewhere so has a Silver lining.

Happy with McGuire and Doolan to support Walker as we badly need to use the money to strengthen centre and back row. We really do need a strong running second row and use Currie on the bench if he is retained.
As well as Wrench, a class centre to give Ashton more space is a must.
Tanginoa and Whitbread please plus Aussie centre.

I have seen it a few times on different threads that we have already signed a centre for next season, not sure who it was that said it but not seen anything on that for a good while now.

All three of the above are quota, we have Mikaele and potentially Mata’utia out of contract, to sign the above would need one of Dufty, Vaughan, McGuire, Kasiano or Drinkwater to leave…?

Yes didn’t factor that in although would like to see Riley Dean back next year to put pressure on Drinkwater. Rumour about Kruise Leeming signed now anyway.

As difficult as I find it, I think Clark leaving (assuming he isn’t willing to take the drop in salary and extended time at 13 rather than hooker which would be my preference) is the right call. Walker is ready to be our 9 long term, and I think he is capable to be a 9 for a Grand Final winning team. With an additional marquee potentially next year, we can’t keep Clark on significant money when w e need to be looking to spend elsewhere.

He’s been great, no complaints and while I hope he doesn’t have success at Saints, if he did I’d be pleased for him.

(Assuming this is all confirmed of course!)

Ok but Walker won’t win a Grand Final at 9 least ways not with us because Phil Clarke said we can’t win a Grand Final with Dufty at Fullback

Where as the Leeming rumour come from, did he not leave Leeds because he wanted the starting spot. Guess Walker would not be best pleased if Leeming as been guaranteed that.
