I'm hearing Salford have upped their bid offered a big contract and pinched him from under Warrington's noses!

Confirmed on twitter by KouKASH hes signed for Salford.

Their cap must be elasticated! Warrington not happy!

not happy that salford have nicked their elasticated cap?







comes around goes around, something wire fans and moran will have to get use too!

Very good signing for Salford to add to the recent signing of the excellent Locke.

Salary cap my a rse!

Spending big money on a winger and FB is great, but they need forwards also.



I hope the RL are keeping an eye on their salary cap.



Good signing for them though, but not a priority position for us to be spending big on.

Bit difficult, when Koukash hasnt a UK bank account.

Bet we wouldn't moan if we had a backer like the doc. I like that he's building a team of super stars. It's exciting for the game, & Salford are on the up.

Shock horror,



Quick ring the BNP

We're always accusing some club or other of fiddling the salary cap, when the reality is it's us that are at getting value for money out of ours.

That's potentially ridiculous! I heard wire had him for 130 k a year. More than that on a winger is mental!!!

It is when that winger is nothing special.



Hall

Briscoe

Makinson

Burgess

Charnley

McGillveray

Carney

Broughton

Lineham

Monaghan



In no particular order that is my top 10 list of Superleague wingers. More than 130k for a winger who doesn't feature in the top 10? Crazy. Either Koukash is going to break the cap, or Salfords squad is going to be sorely lacking in other areas.

No matter what they paid for him, if they sign a decent centre, they have a great backline next season.



Locke

BJB

Sau

New

Johnson

Chase

Sneyd



Easily a top 4 backline. I'm not a fan of how the Dr goes about his business especially on twitter, but is certainly putting money were his mouth is.

I heard Warrington £120,000 Salford £130,000 but he plumped for Warrington, before Salford upped their offer to what,........... I have no idea. Mind you that came from Journalists in Leeds so not gospel.

800k/1.65m on a back line? Doesn't leave much for the remaining 18 players.

Tommy lee is supposedly on 98k a season, so I would imagine sau hasn't come to SL for a pittance, Shauls new contract has put him on 78k a year.

One assumes Jamie is shouting this from the rooftops

I genuinely have no idea for the likes of sau and Johnson, hence I erred on the side of caution in my estimates.



Tim smith (who, despite rumours, koukash has said is going nowhere) is another who I'd imagine is on 6 figures (roughly) Hansen was (according to the wiganers) offered 6 figures, and like sau, rapira and Tasi won't be only less than 50k - it all adds up

No I think we can assume that someone is "in the know".

Wow



Yet when some post supposed wages they are poo pooed.

It all has a whiff of too good to be true. I do like that he's ruffling the RFL's feathers a bit as well as drawing publicity for the game, though.

Have you never heard of sarcasm.

Agreed. He seems determined to build a strong team at Salford so I like that he's putting his money where his mouth is as you say. But I don't like his Twitter and media comments about the team which I think is putting them under unnecessary pressure. Nor do I like how he handled the Noble/Harris affair. His comments about change in the rules of Super League are refreshing though.

Bit off track but any fancy Ryan Brierley for FC next season?

No not at all. If we're to sign another halve, it needs to be an experienced one.
