But they have their new "silent" investor pumping the money in, £30k for Cockend due to be confirmed, they [uhad[/u actually recruited quite well so far.

If he goes to Rovers I will laugh my tits off

Broughton going to Huddersfield. I'm sure Briscoe will end up at leeds.

No mention of him at koucash's press conference.but apparently they have more signings to announce

Looks like my £20 to wave at him tonight will have to stay in the cash machine

Chase , Hock & Smith , Good signings for Salford . The rest are pretty average imo.

I agree Wouldn't call Tommy Lee a major signing

all of the named players have major off field history. So lets move them all to Manchester ... Yeah good thing lol

We know better than anybody that you can't bring a few good players in and get success. TBH i'm quite underwhelmed by who he's signed after all the bluster of the last few months.

Still the rumour of briscoe going to Salford seems to be wrong tho. And it's all quiet on the Leeds board now too. The only other place I can think of is either Wigan or yawnion. Just guesses there as iv heard nothing about him of late. Be a shame to replace him with crookes tho if that's true. Nothing against the guy he's just nowhere near briscoe a potential and don't think he ever will be.

To be honest I think we've had Tom's best years and it will probably be good for the club and for him if he moves on.

He's 23 ffs! I don't care how people try to dress it up, he is still in our top 3 players and will be a huge loss.

borlox. Fantastic player and once his future was sorted he has been back to his best IMO. Will be a massive loss

Exactly, some desperate attempts to pass off his departure as nothing. He's a huge loss to a club with supposed top 4 ambitions.

Yeah he's only 23 and yes his form has dropped since he wanted to move but even then he's still one of the best wingers in super league and on form probably one of the best in the world. He will be a huge loss and I'd hope FC have done everything in there power to keep hold of him even if it is to spend a chunk of the salary cap on him. I also agree that if the money had been spent on Thompson then our recruitment is a laughing stock.

I highly doubt his wage has just been allocated to Thompson, seeing as back when Briscoe's deadline passed the rumour was it was to do with how much we were offering Paea.

This

Went to lineham and crooks new deals so I was told

I guess it was split to top up each offer for all three

Think you're mixing Tom up with Shaun.

Tbh I think the Thompson deals not happening. Nothing concrete just what couple of people said

They did. They made him a vastly improved offer but told him there was a cut off date for accepting it because we needed to plan our recruitment for next season. He didn't accept it in time because he was holding out for an NRL deal, which never materialised probably due to his indifferent form this year.

Possibly he was badly advised by his agent but whatever happened he's leaving and we need to plan for life without him.

Yeah fair point. Does anyone have a list of the ooc wingers in the league at all?

David Howes?

Who's David howes??
