Salford are losing money hand over fist and that`s after getting probably more money than most on player sales these last 2 years. If they sell even more of their top players Sneyd, Cross, Watkins to name 3. Then their chances of winning games will diminish even further and as a result will lose their fanbase and revenue. It`s like a slow death unfortunately. I would love Sneyd at Leeds but doubt we will fork out the transfer fee or be able to offload Frawley.

He would solve a major problem in our team - our kicking game ( Frawley ) is terrible. He has no distance and cant find the ground - it is a massive weakness - compare him to Smith at Wigan. The kicking game is more important in the current game more than ever before . As Salford will need players in to replace those leaving , we could use Frawley as part of the deal. This move , if successful , would give us great chance of competing for the top 4.
Syned and Frawley will probably be on similar money so not sure what Salford would gain other than a fee for Syned which won't be high considering his age .

Bringing Watkins back makes absolute sense, he’s been great in the second row and also is a good goal kicker. When you think about it we’ve only got McDonnell, Bentley and then it’s Gannon, Littlewood.

If we go for anyone it will be Watkins IMO.
I agree. We currently bat deep at half back (Croft, Frawley, Connor, Sinfield) but we're light in the 2nd row, which is a far more attritional position. Watkins makes more sense, and if anybody is well positioned to strike a deal it would be Blease.

This was something Matt Shaw came up with in a largely nonsensical article. The pre-season training trip will have been booked and paid for a long time ago.
Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
