if Salford are up to the cap now it will be a top player or more than one that has to make way for locke as he wont be on peanuts to come to SL

Re: New Signings : Fri May 02, 2014 1:26 pm  

I have to admit that I also am struggling to remember much about him.
Is there a danger that in our position whoever comes available seems to get built up a little into better players than they possibly are. We only have half a season left and it is vital that the next couple of signings are right for us and not knee-jerk signings. Yesterday Franny said they are waiting for clearance to sign overseas players. I hope we hear soon that we have signed two rough barnstorming forwards who are keeping benches warm in the NRL and fancy the summer in the UK.

I can't see how Salford have signed Locke and still remain under the cap

Re: New Signings : Fri May 02, 2014 2:27 pm  

Locke is a quality full back, and will be pushing to be the best FB in the competition next year.

Surprised there wasn't a queue of clubs in the NRL wanting to sign him up, but after watching a few NRL games each season, the FB position is pretty much hard to break into, with each club having a 'superstar' in that position.

Great signing for Salford, this kid will be commanding a NRL size salary. I wonder if Mr K has accidentally left his wallet at Lockes house, when finalising the deal.

Re: New Signings : Fri May 02, 2014 2:29 pm  

It depends who they let go at the end of this season. The players off contract at the end of the 2014 season include: Mat Ashurst, Jordan Davies, Jacob Emmitt, Ben Gledhill, Darrell Griffin, Stuart Howarth, Greg Johnson, Tommy Lee, Francis Meli, Adrian Morley, Jake Mullaney, Gareth Owen, Tim Smith, Adam Walne, Jordan Walne, Jason Walton, Paul Walton, Danny Williams

Some big earners in there.

If you want barn-storming forwards I don' think the Waltons are up to it. They're far too passive.

Kaufusi from Hudds - didn't expect that!

No, bit of a shocker. Can only think there's been some kind of falling out or something as he seems to have been a regular for Huddersfield

What? Where?

That would be great news.

It's true. It's come through on the season ticket holder email. He's signed on loan and goes straight into the 19 for Sunday
