Agreed.
The biggest signing would be Sheens himself.
If the Australian national coach can't sort this mess out................

I'm not connected at the club, but wanted to know if there was something more solid than Barker's rambling. Chase may well be on his way out or just as easy Lui isn't coming to Salford, then there is the distinct possibility Dobson's body isn't able to do another season.

Thanks for the advice though.

Ok,a bit harsh. Apologies.
Chase's situation follows a clear trend.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of his French holiday,the trend is clearly that the big earners,as a group,are seen to have failed to produce the required success for the master plan.
So,it's Plan B. No,I don't know,either.
As regards Lui,no idea. I know I'll be hammered for saying this but Barker is right more often than not.

Being a poor journalist doesn't make Barker wrong.

From what I've seen of Ayshford and Lui, if they are signed together then it's possible the duo could bring more to the team than just chase trying too hard to do it all himself. Not that I dislike Chase as a player. That said, the players still aren't a team and something needs to be done about that problem.

When you look at smaller clubs who have seen some success, ie. Cas and hudds, they haven't gone out and bought the big names, rather it's been a steady building process. What we needed when koukash took over was a team of players hungry to work for each other, like 2006. I think Taylor was the perfect example and like others I'd rather we kept him, but it isn't to be.

That's my point.
I don't worry at all about Chase leaving,provided we have a quality replacement

Could be American?

Still, whatever happens, I would like (no, demand) Chase in the teams playing away at Widnes and t'Robins.

If Sheens stays on I reckon his pull with NRL players would be quite strong. Would be incredibly happy if we got him though...

I agree are kyd, he is a world class back row, if we could keep hold of Patterson him, Stewart and HH would be amazing.
