Why was Johnstone a daft suggestion? im baffled by you. We need 3 wingers at this club. Marshall is out for a year, Manfredi has injury problems and looks to be on the wane a little and we have no cover. Is it really arrogant to suggest that we could poach Salford's coach. Maybe it is but there are only a few clubs capable. Its the nature of life. Salford sign players from clubs lower than them, we sign players from the likes of Salford. It's just how it is and has always been. If you can't see that then where have you been?
Johnstone - I've told you why in the post you quoted. We are working to a salary cap. He would (rightly) command a decent amount of cap space. We are already paying for two starting wingers so you either expect him to play for peanuts or want to leave us really short elsewhere. I agree we need wing backup but realistically it needs to be someone cheaper than him, maybe a loanee, promising youngster, someone from the Championship or someone who isn't getting a game in the NRL. That's what's realistic in our situation, not one of the best wingers in the league when we are already using cap space on two starters.
You keep talking about Salford like they're Swinton they were just one pass away from winning the Challenge Cup, and knocked us out of the play offs before that to make the Grand Final.
