Toulouse missed out on super league by 0.38 points, they must be really annoyed after seeing what's happened with Salford. The fact Img didn't spot this puts into question their whole methodology of sustainability/how to grow the sport too

As I've said several times they should have come clean at the end of last season but they have pulled the wool over everyone's eyes hoping for a miracle without being realistic about their situation. I can't now see em surviving myself and if they do it will be a poor team that they can field. Having to raise £800,000 from either transfer fees or saved wages leaves them crippled. However, had they been honest and thrown themselves on the mercy of the other clubs they could have gone down with a sort of parachute whip round and we could have got Toulouse or Bradford into Super League with time to build a team of sorts. Now it's apparent that the other clubs have little sympathy for their demise and are exacting some tough justice. As I say their poor fans what a disaster. It does however beg the question who will be next?

Hearing Cross is a done deal. Wonder what half back we'll go after?

forget Sneyd, was always a long shot him moving his family back over to Hull/Brough.....i feel we got the best out of him in those two challenge cup wins, be unfair to put pressure on him to try and replicate that again.

Think we'll keep our powder dry for now on a half. No decent British half available right now.

Re Salford - there's a strong possibility they'll be relegated if they finish bottom this year. Will mean they'll lose enough IMG points to be overtaken by one of Toulouse or Bradford (possibly whoever wins the Championship).

deon cross done deal

Be under no illusion we are still short of a Top Class centre and it will show this season and next until we rectify this We are short of pace and strength at Centre yet it’s a critical position in the team Cross will have to do I suppose Prop is also another position we are light and need one more dynamic player and hopefully Sao Lane Fash can move on somehow next season so we can replenish properly there in the front row and wherever Lane plays And yep we need a 6 for this season as well I don’t like Sneyd signing for us It’s clear we need PACE in our backs and we can’t have slow centres and slow half backs We are in a rebuild but Salfords sorry woes give us a small window to address 1-2 positional issues a season early
