So, thus far, we're losing a grafting prop and a host of talented youngsters, and looking at bringing in an Aussie winger with a past that has included career threatening injuries and a battle with alcoholism. When can I renew my season ticket?
We seem to be caught in a 'catch 22' situation. A lot of our problems tend to stem from the obvious lack of money, we definately need to keep our young talented players because of the ruling (someone else has already mentioned on this post) and that is that with each season that passes, the Super League teams need to be showing a greater number of players that have come thru the academy system. Having said that, to keep them they need to be paid the going rate that the other Big Clubs can offer them, otherwise our youth is going to be cherrypicked by the wealthier clubs, which brings us back to the problem of our long awaited new Stadium, this is hopefully going to be a major boost of income for us, ie bigger sponsorship deals, and bigger crowds. But every time I drive over Barton Bridge I get downhearted because I don't see anything happening and just how long as this been in the making?
If the Stadium takes too long, I think our young players will be long gone, and then where will we be when the licences are up for renewal?
I want to be upbeat about the club progressing to be challenging for a top 4 spot, but I just can't see a light at the end of the tunnel, and from what I've read on here it sounds like all of Alan Hunte and Jim Readers work is being undone as our talented hopes for the future are picked off one by one.
As they said in the film; "SHOW ME THE MONEY"
Keep Playing The Young Talent. They Need To Gain Experience Now. These Lads Are SALFORD'S FUTURE. Bring on the BARTON

Pretty much how I see it happening if it is true - he has played at scrum half but we'd more than likely have him coming off the bench at hooker. They seem to regard him as a pretty solid player who still puts the effort in despite playing in a team that's losing plus he's still young as well so there'd be room for a bit of improvement.

Expect around 7 first teamers to leave this season.
Anderson-son-son
He's better than Kleberson
Anderson-son-son-son
He's our midfield magician
On the left, on the right
Do the Samba beat tonight
He is class, he sh*gs brass
And he sh*ts on Fabregas
My guess would be that we'll get rid of the following:
Stapo
Robbie
Fitzy
Sibbit
Littler
Nash
I'm hoping Wilshere gets another year. White I'm not sure on, depends how he comes back from injury. I'm wondering whether Phil might be on his way as well.
Cas did the same after their first season back and got rid of quite a few of their players.
