What pulling power? Potential, granted, but Salford have contested two major finals and play off semi final, since your last final, so the only thing on offer is what you may achieve, or are willing to pay him. Admittedly, the future is looking bright for Rovers, but even the best squads need to gel and , crucially, avoid injury to their playmakers, so I don't think there is any more to this than financial considerations. Rovers will have offered a significant salary upgrade , probably. I don't blame any player wanting to better their pay, it is a short career, but if the deal doesn't come off, he isn't going to be flavour of the month in the Salford camp and then there's the location.; Josh Jones, was on paper, as good a signing, but we all know how that one went.
At the minute I think we’re comfortably the best performing team in Yorkshire. That plays well for us where players wanting to be close to home but also want a club that’s going to be challenging. Think Dupree falls under this category. Dupree recently signed a new deal so assume his wages are already high, I think we could match this deal but with the added security is attractive. If we pull the signing off, he’ll probably be our main prop for the next few years. Add that to all the things going on at the club, it makes us an attractive place to be.
