Don’t think we will see him this year. Great prospect though.

Looks like Tyler Dupree has handed in a transfer request at Salford. Would be great for the club to replace the outgoing Walters with him!

Cant see it happening but still.

Thats because HKR offered big fee for him and Salford turned it down. We won't be paying anything...

And nor should we. If are going to make a mid season move I would say it needs to be a centre.

But if Lisone is heading home, we'll need another prop....

To be fair we don't know that yet, do we? And a six figure bidding war with KR seems a touch excessive.

No we don't know it yet, but the club might.

That's going to be unsettling for salford. Not sure how you can turn down a request to move and keep players playing for you.

No way will Gawwy pay a transfer fee for a player that the club let go for nothing only 3 years ago.

It has been said that Agar, who was our head coach at the time said that Tyler was not in his plans moving forward and that he should seek another club.

IMO it's very scary to think of how many key player retention decisions or player signings that coaches can make in such a short space of time and of how they could impact the club massively down the track, especially when coaches can be replaced so easily.

Tommy the Tank,Mik and Tyler Dupree could have been the cornerstone of our front row for the next decade.
Whilst the club see it as being acceptable to spend Marquee money on signing players like Tetevano and Merrin, and who will only be relatively short term signings for the club.
