I'm sure it was but either way it's surely an unnecessary large expense for a club with particularly shaky finances, having recently stayed afloat by selling off 3 of it'main assets and going cap in hand to their supporters.. seems irresponsible.

Yep. MjM makes a fair point, but there is a broader theme here. Salford have been flirting with financial disaster for at least a couple of years and in their desire to continue their excellent form on the field they have been guilty of living beyond their means.

Sadly familiar situation playing out at Salford.

Nobody has mentioned Macdonald
Would be interesting to see him come back. When all said and done, he is a classy centre.

We don't need him.
And he's a prick.

Don`t think we will drop the likes of Newman, Hanley or Connor to accommodate him.
But I do agree he is a very good centre on his day.
I reckon he`s blotted his copybook the last time he was here.
Watkins or Stone for me.

How can we take Macdonald or Stone?
We don't have a quota space available.
Or is there dispensation on quota spots as well as salary cap?

Matt Shaw reporting that is a possibility.

Quota dispensation has been mentioned but as far as I know not approved yet

Dispensation.
