I was referring to this not 'redgunner' post to be fair.



I'm sorry call me paranoid but that just stinks, I apologise if its a genuine poster, but that stinks of a relation making reference to "we" the fans. OTT. IMO,









Completely agree with your sentiment. Though if MP has been told to slash the Salary Cap we spent last year by 200k he'll be making some difficult decisions over the next week. Decisions that will make the club and possibly him unpopular with the fans. No new signing's, and reducing our already average squad by 2-3 players. Time will tell but I forecast a cloudy off season if there is any substance to these particular rumours.

perhaps we won't have a good preseason from what was said last night, Aussie players going home and training over there as it is in their contracts, so once again we will start with a team that only gets together a couple of weeks before the season starts. Hopefully someone at the club will sort out these contracts, because it looks like the players can tell the board pretty much what they want and get it. I would say have October off and be back in November, plenty of time to renegotiate these contracts, 30 days notice and all that. Then don't let it happen again, I am sure Wilkie doesn't have similar contracts for his own staff.

Optimism can be in short supply, so much so that you'd be forgiven for forgetting we are about to move into a purpose built 12,000 capacity RL stadium, had been awarded a new franchise less than a month ago , and aquired the services of a new overseas coach full of new ideas.

read too many of these posts and hey presto , you'll soon be ' Paint it Black '

It's a joke really are we the only club to do this? I hope Mr simms puts in contracts of the new players they get here for October.

It could be down to finance. Maybe the club don't have enough money to pay rent or whatever for the full year, so negotiate a contract that involves the players coming over later.

I thought he'd mentioned that he wants everyone back in the country for november, training together.

Thank you, Mr Parish has got my respect and 100% backing.

What Matt wants and what he gets maybe two very different things.

a couple of extra months on a rental agreement would work out cheaper, short term lets are usually the most expensive, in the long run it would be cheaper to rent for the full term of a players contract, which is what they most likely do and the player comes back to the same place, in the meantime we still are paying rent on an empty property. More to do with giving in to what a player wants and us being desperate to sign players on whatever terms to get them to Salford, which is bad for the club has it develops an us and them culture.

That is the money ball Mr pev, our negotiation skills are being shown as pretty poop if this is standard practice

Yeah tell me about it! Look out for a name change in the not to distant future!
