It was only a few weeks ago that after playing well for PNG he was courting NRL offers. I suppose though if the quota dispensation scenario did happen it would only be a season anyway so you’d have to review it after a year, you’d get a year of quality out of him.

I’m not sure the Salford situation will play out like that and don’t think anyone will get quota dispensation for anyone anyway. You have to look at where the story originated and who’s pulling the strings doesn’t take a genius to work out, that’s just the suggestion of one particular club, maybe after a few drinks in the bar.

One of those ITK accounts on twitter saying the Sneyd thing isn't happening. I now expect the club to announce his return on Monday

Seems adamant that he's going to Leigh and that we are set to sign Cross

Mcdonald would be off as soon as an offer comes in, I would be very wary of signing him, however Id good he is.

I'd be happy with Cross.

I can give or take Sneyd, would improve us, but not the exact halfback we need, like I was with Lam I wouldn't be too disappointed if he didn't come.

Nikorima could be an option, think we were close to signing him on loan last year.

Agree on Sneyd. Too similar to Sezer.

Proceed with caution with that account. He once said we were signing Bevan French.

Surely we would of spoke to sneyd first to see if he was happy to come us before we tabled an offer, why would we waste our time? Unless we've been used to get more out of leigh or for us to bump up the fee for our mate Derek?

I could see Rovers offering a swap with Gildart going the other way.

We have no right to expect loyalty after cancelling several contracts and paying players off in the past few seasons.

There is very little loyalty in sport. Clubs and players use each other in equal measure for on field success and financial reward.

I'm looking at the Sneyd situation and thinking he's not coming.

Therefore who else is out there that we can get?

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Sat Jan 11, 2025 1:20 pm  

I'm really keen to see what Balmforth can do, could be a big regret if we don't give him a chance and we lose him. If we go with Cust and Seizer short term, he should get a decent run off the bench.
