I'd like to see him at the Reds, he offloads in the tackle better than most players in SL.

Weren't we linked with him a few years ago when he was at Wigan??
He's only 24 so I'd take him...another young, British player with something to prove.

What a dismal situation for us long suffering supporters when the biggest celebration we can muster is at the relief of a player we haven't signed - wouldn't real good news be a pleasant change?

I think as someone else has said that the club are waiting to build on the wave of apathy they have worked hard to build up by announcing all the big signings we have in one go.
I see that we have lost 3 or 4 class players and havent replaced any of them except maybe Myler with the lad from Celts/Saints? for me the one we will miss most is Stapleton who has without doubt been the cornerstone of our pack for the past two seasons .
If there is one marque signing to be announced then let's hope that it is a prop in the Stapo mould (who for me was potentially the new Dai Young if we'd have kept him for a few years and made him captain).

Do we have a spare £100,000 for Big Willie? http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/st ... 31,00.html

maybe, in the history of Salford City Reds, but certainly not in the history of Salford RLFC
