Grab an old cooking pot and a black candle.

No, late Mesolithic to Pre-Roman Iron Age, and the dig was actually where the new pub is.

injury must have occurred in AUS in Dec when he was doing gym work there.

Could we deregister him and bring in another overseas player for a few months? I heard Vic Mauro could be available.

I'm not sure you'll find one willing to shift to the other side of the world for a few months before getting the boot when Vidot returns. Especially at this stage of the season.

I see it as an opportunity for the likes of Johnson and MCB to try and make a mark, especially as I think we'll be shifting it wide a lot more than last season...

It's a blow, but we have a decent backline and replacements. If we were signing a big name forward with a six month injury I'd be more concerned.

I was thinking more about a prop than a wing replacement. If we did this who's to say another overseas player won't be injured or underperforming by the time Vidot returns? You never know a prop on the fringes of an NRL team may jump at the opportunity to put themselves in the shop window.

Worse - Peel Green.

I wonder if Salford are tempted to de-register him and bring someone else in until the summer (assuming there’s room left on the salary cap).

Willie Mason is available isn't he? Might be worth a go for the regular season.

Maybe it was the curse of the great crested newt, after they were evicted and moved on

There must be loads in the pot. By the looks of it we've only committed to about £385K this year.

The question is can we afford to lose one of our main squad for half a season.
I know it's not a pivotal position (such as when we lost Hock and Chase), but we were probably expecting a high return from this guy's to probably a fair chunk of cap.
Sheens and Koukash have stated we have room on the cap, so why not bring some one else in doesn't have to be a marque.
