I'd take him. Though I imagine Hull would be in the frame given they are losing a prop to Catalan. Catalan could be in the frame too as they are losing McMeeken as has been mooted. I expect Wigan to move on from Mago too and both they and Hull KR were interested in Dupree so may also be in for him if they are looking to upgrade at prop. I can't imagine he'll be in our price range with the potential competition. Yes BDB if we're ambitious and want top 6 we need to do something. I agree other clubs are going into the market and we should be more ambitious. If we do not get Watkins back soon I do not rate our chance of Top 6. I've said my piece on our signings for this season and it all comes back to a lack of diversity in the players we signed. Rowley needs to do much better next season when we make signings, we need youth not players aged 33 plus. |

Reckon we’re just going to scrape by to the end of the season. Next year we HAVE to get some forward in. I’d personally try and offload greenwood, addy, Dixon and sidlow. We’ve signed Singleton already but I’d be looking at savelio,mcmeeken,Peter hola and James roumanos- 2 of them and a couple of up and coming forwards cozza,Fenton Rodger’s and Sam eash |

I know a good big one is better than a good little one,and a good young one is better than a good old one so they say.I know that Rowley as an input to recruitment,other people supply the finance get them. But like I have already said above other clubs are useing the same metrics Thats just the way the mop flops I am afraid. |

Is it that there just aren't any players in lower leagues and even if there are,everyone else is competing for them so we won't get them? |

Off course their are players In the championship we should be looking at,same as other clubs will be doing I wouldn't bring anyone in I would make do with what we have for this season I think the play off's are out of reach,we should be looking to next season We have to be realistic, It's all down to money. |

Okay understood and yes I agree. Unless someone suddenly becomes available and fits the criteria then yes it will be off season when we make any moves now. Play offs aren't done though so I wouldn't be too disbondent. Were more than capable of making it, just need to stop the rot and get back on a run ourselves. |

It’s not impossible the league is that close but with Wright and now Watkins out for the season and the games we have left I can’t see us picking up many wins. Seems to me are attack has been found out this year only the hull game it worked |

Well, the Community Share Offer finished on June 5th., we exceeded expectations, and I like most, was very excited by the scheme and the fact that so many wonderful fellow Salford supporters rallied around our great club.
But since then, we've won just one (Cas away) and lost 5 in a row, a real disappointment, with a sense that we have missed a great opportunity to make the most of the momentum gained from the Community Share Scheme.
Plus Dupree and Croft being 'targeted by other clubs' is a further worry that may have affected team morale?,
But 'Heigh Ho', we've still got 20 points, King, Blease and Rowley, I still feel that we're going in the right direction and that we'll get a break soon, maybe in Perpignon.
Keep us chins up!

Keep us chins up! Yeah totally agree. Such a shame that we’ve missed this opportunity this season - challenge cup and the poor run of performances. I feel we’ve missed the opportunity to create a real sense of excitement and growth. They could recapture it with a good run and good performance in the play offs. Whether we can generate the finances to keep players and grow the squad continues to blight what has been great work from the board. |

Also, doesn't help with momentum on attendances that after the Saints game, our last three homes games of the season are all Friday night matches. |

So your telling me Sidlow and Dixon on two year contracts is good business for SRD? I believe that Rowley has his favourites within the squad and that shows in team selections and the omission of Burke last year and Greenwood this. Wire have just signed Crowther, he's a decent enough big forward for the reminder of the season. Why are we not investing to ensure we can compete for top 6. Well, WRD what I've said is that given all the factors you ignore it's hardly surprising you come to that conclusion.
I've no doubt that Rowles believes Sidlow & Dixon could do a job for various reasons. I also think he probably has forgotten more about coaching and decision making than we've ever learned when it comes to RL.
You seem very keen to mix up money issues with team choices in all this.

As a shareholder now, I think we have more rights than ever to question value for money when it comes to recruitment moving forward. We hold the team accountable for poor performances and we should also hold the management accountable for recruitment. To not question it and give a free pass on everything just isn't right. |

As a fan you were always a stakeholder and should be happy to criticise where you think something is wrong.
I don't have a problem with criticism just some of the phrases, reasoning and omissions used to explain it, kilop.
Like the idea that Rowles is picking someone because of favouritism and leaving someone out for the same reason. Coaches look at all aspects of performance and would never make a detrimental move because they prefer some player's face, their livelihood depends on their decision making.

The point of "jobs for the boys" was about the recruitment, not about who is picked in the starting line up and yes I do think he has a narrow view on it and has decided to go with players he has worked with previously. Ignoring the fact that they are both too old, injury prone and not value for money. I wouldn't say he has favoured them over others on the match day squad, personally I don't think he's even had a chance to as they've both missed so many matches. Am I right in thinking there both on 2 year deals as well? |
