Where are Salford getting the money from to sign all these players? That must be 7 or 8 senior players they have signed for next season?
Think its 5 signed so far, and one of them being Matty Smith who was on loan this year anyway. Patten, Wild, Anderson, and Nero being the other 4. Feka hasn't been confirmed by the club but does look likely given the amount of press attention.
As for the money, no fees are being paid and quite a few of the current squad did not have contracts extending into next year...many are going out of the door - announced already is Alker (to become a non-playing full time coach), Leuluai (off to France), Swain (off to France), Talau (retiring). I think Littler, Fitzpatrick, Sibbit and Jeremy Smith may be under threat as their contracts run out. We've probably had one of the lowest wage bills in the league to date and it will be going up, but not massively given that we will probably lose as many players as we bring in. Expect a few more movements.
