| For me the next big signing should be someone with the qualities of Sinfield.
We need someone who spends most of the game on the pitch and has the respect of the players.
We need a captain, Wild can't play long enough to have the impact he should as Captain and maybe he should be club Captain.
I'm not sure we currently have such a player.

| I think the ploy is rather to bring in a show stopper. Would a Sinfield-type player, for his undoubted worth to a team, create a buzz and add numbers through the gate. I'm not so sure.

| Maybe not but that big signing is probably for next season. The team need an on field leader and for me Wild's back isn't up to the time on the pitch.

Gleeson or McGoldrick were the ones doing all the talking Sunday, would be happy with McGolrick as he seems like a real snarler.

| For me rather than sign a big name that would cost a fair bit why not sign two or three decent up and coming players. I would sign Griffin up and another big decent prop along with a full back. Surely this would be better than one player

| Thought Griffin made a big difference for us when he came on last week. Shows that a big hard running forward can really lift a side.

| Sign Tomkins at this stage and we will all be moaning about how awful he is defensively. He needs the players around him to allow him to play his game.

I am sure they are looking at this though as well as the marquee signing. The big name signing is to grab the headlines and get a buzz about the place. Looking at the likes of Morley who cant give us 80 minutes would back this up. However, within the sport he is still a major name it gets people looking at us and gets them thinking that were not messing about here and we intend to compete.
Players in the Sinfield mould are ultimatley what we will strive to get but as said previously they dont put as many bums on seats which the big name player would. A Signing of Tomkins stature sends out a massive message even if he does need the players about him to be at his peak.

Well the big problem is the true crowd levels and how low they are. Before Koukash came along, the 'robust' business plan that would have seen Salford operate within its means was based on an average home attendance of over 3,000. Given Sunday's gate, we would be back to t =#000000ing our pants worrying about how to increase the gate.
It's clear the new regime wants a star turn at the club to radiate a new profile outwardly: both to lapsed paying customers and other decent players that are, perhaps, currently weary of taking the plunge.

A ball playing loose forward would be an excellent signing.It may upset Gold Coast Titans but an approach for Greg Bird would be my ideal,selfish,wish to come true.Saw him playing for Catalan Dragons while all his loved ones and legal team were in Australia and thought he was brilliant.Certainly had massive adversity and stress at the time but had the strength of character to put in remarkable performances.A little needle with Gary Hetherington just adds spice.[url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/oct/01/leeds-catalan-dragons-super-leagueLink[/url
I always think multiple signings attract a lot of interest.Although I don't like naming names - or predicting - or alert other clubs to any targets etc. and much prepare to wait until everything is signed,sealed and delivered,I think looking in the direction of Huddersfield Giants may have the players to fill the positions mentioned elsewhere.
Just 3 from Hudds will do

| I'd say the general formula for success and working within the cap is 3 high profile 'Superstar' players in key positions, half a dozen top quality youngsters on lower wages (Future Internationals), a few steady internationals and the rest being quality superleague/NRL players with big match experiance.

| Admittedly only one match's showing, but I'd be offering Darryl Griffen a contract.
