This all smells like a compromise with a certain Dr over the SC increase he wanted.

Why pick on the Dr, does it say that the S.C. is to increase?

With HKR’s track record I would have thought you’d be jumping for joy .

That's if he gets to play, the video above shows that the best parts of his game seem to rely on the shoulder charge.

i watched him play for the broncos and he didn't disappoint and no shoulder charges so i am confused as to why they are releasing him, unless the Dr is paying over the odds.

It just seems that no one else is clamoring to buy any overseas players but Salford. He asked for an increase in the SC and was turned down. Next thing you know, he announces earlier this month, 6 non-fed players and another today. I wouldn't be surprised if it was pressure from the Dr to increase the non-fed allowance.

Also I don't know what you mean with regards to Hull KR's track record although as soon as the Chairman found out, he was on a plane to Melbourne to try and get Smith, Slater and Cronk on board for 2014

The Dr is the pantomime villain at the moment. As a Salford fan, I don't really care what others think of him, all I know is that after decades of mediocrity, he's giving us a fighting chance of raising ourselves out of it. Whether it works or fails does not matter. We were a week from not existing until he arrived. If it crashes and burns we've lost nothing. Everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Anyone who thinks the RFL will do the Dr favours seriously needs to ground themselves in reality.
