Unfair on Salford, I can only hope for Hudds that he plays horribly for them

I would go there too



Good on him and wish him all the best, he plays well for us.

I think he will be on fire again at Shudds

I'm guessing this was an 11th hour offer from Hudds.

Can't blame him really, they have just been to the cup final and a top 4 side! Also, he won't have to travel far for training.

That's life. He was obviously making sure of a contract just in cae Shudds back out.
Don't see anything wrong with that. He hadn't signed anything.

Good on him.
Seems logical to me, would you want to drive over the hill every day?
Lets hope he can spur us on to a memorable end to the season.

Everyone knows a deal is not done until the ink is dry on the contract! Good luck to Brad, he has proved to be a very good signing after an awfully unlucky first season.

Probably just what Huddersfield need with Moore returning to St Helens

similar's happened to us and probably to Shudds.

And to be fair if the Cas thing is anything to go by it doesnt always matter if the ink is dry!

True, so it works by ways. The guy is looking after number one and never committed to Salford.

guess that puts the brough to huddersfield rumours to bed

just what Shaun Lunt needs to develop into a future international good luck to mini shrek, a good player, and will do a great job at shudds

Yep, no doubt about it.


Thanks Brad.

Easy come easy go. He's not really done as well as his reputation and performances against us suggested but he's been alright.

thanks for the effort brad , good luck at shudders ....beers are on scully

Edited for accuracy.

He can run the show but he's better when Broughy isn't playing.

I think he gave us a few options in attack but 'route one' in defence.

True and if Brough is staying then losing Drew is not that bad. Don't think he ran the show often enough for a player of his class.

His defence on the whole was/is pretty poor.

Same did happen to us and again it was by Huddersfield.

Remember when the exact same thing was agreed with us with Michael DeVere only for Huddersfield to step in and steal the deal.

Again as somebody else stated 'Thats sports nowadays'! Its a dog business.

Maybe Salford will benifit because I don't think we missed much with DeVere.

Salford seem to be taking whinging to an artform. Mcrae must have poisoned the club to the core, his moan last week about being unlucky as they've lost a few by 6 or so points was sheer delusion.

As for the Drew saga, I seem to remember the talk was that originally we'd offered him big money for another year and that Cas offered him more. When that fell through, had we withdrawn our offer, or was it still on the table and Salford were also offering more (and if so, you'd assume Shudds were somewhere in the region)?

Intrigued as if so, I'm a little surprised so many clubs are offering a big last pay day. Great player on his day, but they are getting less and less frequent. He fits Shudds far more than Salford or Cas i suppose, he's based local and knows most of the set up, the problem that was Sharp has now gone, they can shield his defence, rest him as needed and use his experience to bring on Lunt (who from I've seen is preferable to Moore). Never get to the bottom of it though, there is a lot of smoke and mirrors in operation lately from clubs, itself shrouded in a thousand and one rumours.

disagree with j.t, last year had a few injuries but this year has played very well and turned a good few games around with his displays. thanks brad and good luck at shudds..hope you don't get stuck with the waste of skin!

good luck to the guy just glad he ant come to cas well done cas for using the small print

TBH i dont think you ever had the intention of paying the figure that was banded round (125k), thats good for 1 year, even at mates rates with TM. but TBH i can't see Cas paying anyone anywhere near 125k.
And they say we're skint!

Only (certain) hudds fans.
