Or lack of, surprised Bent & Williams are being released, both for me would have been part of an extended squad for next season. Wonder if it's a clearing of the decks before new faces are unveiled. www.totalrl.com/salford-confirm-departure-seven/ |

Mostly home-grown players as well.
Which is interesting. The rules of the game state that each squad in SL needs to have a minimum of eight home-grown players named in its squad at the start of the season.
Who do we have left?
1. Evalds
2. Lannon?
3. Wood
4. Bibby
That means we're pretty short on meeting the criteria. Would this mean that some of the players possibly coming in are previous academy lads? Do we have any youngsters coming in from what was left of the academy?

So there are now 22 players. Must be at least 8 more to come in if we are extending the squad.
So
Winger
2 half backs
2 props
2 back row forwards
Hooker

We must have a centre who has decent defence.
I like KW but his poor defence is known to all and sundry

Think Bibby will be good. I'd put him with the Beast.

Don't get this need for another hooker, Brining, Tomkins and Wood are more than good enough.
We obviously need a high quality replacements for Dobson and Carney, Patton & AN Other.
Welham is a squad player for me, hope this Olphearts is going to be a Brining type discovery but for me we need a centre and I'd like to see a concerted effort made to bring MCB back.
Prop concerns me, Koppy can't do it all and Griffin has been found out as a 2nd row at bes, while Mossop is going to be a big game bit part player if he is going to make the full season without issue, so 2 more props needed and hope Murray is as good as we all hope.
I'd like to see another JJ type player, one who can play in the centres and pack when needed, adds great depth to the squad and match day bench if one can be found.

Sad to see home grown talent leave the club, especially as we are already down on numbers, for me Sammut would be top of the list when I've seen him play he makes others around him tick, and he mixes his play up instead of doing same moves, also MCB if we can get him back from wakey

Patton, apparently, isn't going to happen. |

Seems about right. Warrington are letting a lot go, short on numbers and trying to get Gidley to do another season.
Btw, Hasson going to.........WIDNES,what a coupe

Pity that as thought Patton might have been a cracking buy for the future.
Makes recruitment even more important now, you'd hope there is news at the same time as season ticket details are going to be revealed.
