Bullock, Sneyd, McDonald immediately balances our squad nicely. Although saying that, not sure Sezer and Sneyd complement each other
If the quota/cap dispensations are only valid for 2025 then I would have thought that any potential incomings from Salford would need to be with one eye on next year in regard to quota spots and cap space if the dispensations expire at the end of this year, or am I misreading the situation? This would apply to all clubs and any acquisitions they may also make from Salford?
I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.

If the RFL are looking at allowing quota dispensations I would look at Nikorima as although he comes with a risk he offers something we don't have currently and think under Cartwright he'd go well.
I can understand the quota dispensation but think the dispensation on salary cap wouldn't be a good move to be honest.
I would imagine the club will be looking at Bullock, McDonald, Lafai and Nikorima as well as Cross, Sneyd not to sign them all but give us best chance to get 2 or maybe 3 would be the best fit in terms of an edge, a middle and a half. I doubt very much if the RFL would sanction 2 quota players so it would one of Nikorima, McDonald, Lafai. Those would then be dependent of if Sneyd comes back, if he does then McDonald or Lafai would massively improve us. If Sneyd doesn’t come and we go for Nikorima that would rule us out of McDonald & Lafai. With the update re quota dispensation we may possibly already be looking at Nikorima instead of Sneyd who knows.
Certainly going to be interesting over the next 24hrs
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I think he will go to Leigh as Beaumont will match whatever Hull offer just to stick 2 fingers up to us. Also dont like players going back plus snyed getting on now so would be a big risk. Other thing Syned and Sezer very similar players. Remember Leeds with Sezer & Austin they were an awfull pairing because they both wanted to organise the team and were both pretty slow. We should wait for other options
We could pay Sezer off and bring someone in to play alongside Sneyd?

If there are we need someone like McDonald rather than Sneyd A backline of Barron,Cross,McDonald and Martin looks a lot better than Barron,Hardaker,Chamberlain and Briscoe

Agree a lot more pace and power with those two, I'm on the fence with Sneyd they always say never go back and him and Sezer are very similar. Think Cust will have a huge season for us and gives us better balance in the halves.

I'm probably in the minority in saying i wouldn't be too disappointed if we miss out on Sneyd. We already have an organising 7 in Sezer. Would prefer Nikorima for a season and go all out for Will Pryce for next year.
