Ooo me mum loved the nativity, baby Jesus and all that lot. Her fave was the shepherds and the angel. Both of which I played at school but not at the same time. Your comments are a naive pantomime.

Nativity must have been on the mind after reading the fairytales sprouted on here.

Enjoy the next few years of Ashworth, Fash, Lane and Cator being cornerstones of your pack along with a sprinkling of ‘loan’ project players from the NRL.

Savelio just seems like hes a bit busted from big injuries - Tony Smith alluded to it when he talked about him aggravating scar tissue. Youll get a great games every so often then he cant do it for the next few as his body wont let him. Shame as ive always liked him. Right decision to let him go but will clap him when he returns unlike other ex FC players like Josh Jones. Great that the club are realising this and letting players go once on their downward trajectory rather than rewarding them with daft contracts out of some stupid loyalty

Did you mean “spouted” teddy, you got your Rs mixed up maybe.

At least this thread has helped introduce me to the Ignore button.

And it’s merits!

Disappointed to see him go but on balance you are probably right. We simply aren't getting value from him.

What concerns me is who do we replace him with. There isn't a great deal of quality available.

If we can replace him with Bentley and bring in a quota SR (hopefully Blore) to replace Griffin that would be a result.

I'd withdraw our offer if we haven't done already for Watson, move onto other options. He is still too highly rated I'm the NRL and would be off as soon as a club needed a hooker.

Jackson Hastings apparently hinting at a Super league return. Would he be someone on our radar

I always fall for the headlines.

His hint was a tweet that maybe one day he'd return to Salford.
