Are there any other clubs we could look at offering a transfer fee to? The league is near insolvent and being proped up by wealthy owners, surely waving say £100k at a club would at least be considered (aside from a few big names, certain clubs that are also rich etc)

Jack Walker has signed for Sheffield. Pleased for him and hope he has better luck with injuries and uses this opportunity to get another crack at Super League sometime in the future.

When will we hear about new signings from Salford ?
The longer it goes on the better I assume as we’re not rushing

Would a player swap work ? For me that’s a yes

Hopefully some news by middle of next week

Warrington are now looking at Salford players. It's a worry that we may miss out on our targets because at the moment we aren't exactly the most attractive destination for players who want out.

Another problem is Warrington is very close to Salford, had it been a Yorkshire team with these issues we'd have a better chance at signing them.

Warrington apparently have a quota spot left so at least if they're looking for a centre they will likely go Lafai or Macdonald, so hopefully they're sniffing around different players to ourselves.

No idea if its true but someone told me today that abdul only got a minimal payout as he hadn't met the terms of his contract due to not meeting fitness goals. Could be bs

Yes heard the same, he had three clauses regarding weight, fitness and another one and he failed it so got minimal payout

Hard to sympathise when he let himself get in the state he was in at Catalans back end of last season.
That out of condition he probably gave himself far too much to do pre-season.
What a waste. (or waist)

Don't know how concrete that is, but he'd be a decent pick up.

Can cover backrow, 9 and 6 at a push.

Salford Red Devils' fire sale about to start. They've accepted a bid for forward Jack Ormondroyd.
