Well we know its sam barlow, i for one really hope he stays and see out whatever contract he has with us, if leeds have approached him illeagally then they should clearly be reported to the RFL and appropriate action taken if found to of done wrong. I could see the appeal for sam, a top club, less travelling, and i presume more money, however he seems to be really enjoying his rl at present.

Quote ="SaBadSel"Can someone please clarify what going full time means to a player? hours during day, training etc. Its something that confuses me ( doesn't take alot ) surely they can only train for so long in a day?'"
In todays world of FT professional player is not all about specific sports training, although the aim is obviously to improve the players/teams performance on the field, there's lots of other factors that effect it than simply running around with the ball, state of mind as well as body will improve performance.
As others have said they'll have rehab, physio, swimming, gym, biking, general player welfare nutrition, and education. team building sessions, community sessions. media training, match analysis of team, own and upcoming opponents performances, game plans, no doubt we do most if not all of this now but when FT more time can be spent on each.
Start around 9 and usually finish around 2:30.
In other words they do naff all.  icon_razz.gif" alt="icon_razz.gif" title="Razz" /> |

How would Brierley feel in 2 years when Leigh replace Salford in Super League?
Seriously though no one really gets anything out of that deal. Leigh could sell him for a lot more as he gets even better in 2 years, Ryan could probably negotiate a better deal for himself with 2 years of improvement, an even bigger club may come in for him in the meantime and Salford have bought a player they can't use. We don't really know what level Leigh, Salford or Brierley will be at in 2 years’ time (we can have a guess but still) so why tie himself down? | | |

Personally I think they will (Salford ) not get relegated and they will have a much better team next season, cant see them ever competing with the likes of Wigan , Wire, Saints, Leeds and Hudds though, as I cant see them attracting the best players with the crowds they get etc

I think the difference between Leigh and Salford proves why it will take time for Salford to challenge at the top level. Leigh have a team that have lots of good players who play for each other, and the team benefits as a result. Salford on the other hand have the opposite. It may be a cliche but you can't buy certain things, team spirit is one of them. That ingredient itself is worth more than any superstar in a team. | | | |

Team spirit isn’t the issue at Salford, not since Harris has taken over. The players look more committed than ever. Our problem this season has been we look like a team that made 12 new signings for 2014, defensively they don’t look unified and in attack at times we have look confused. Harris had a job on his hands rectifying this, but in all fairness we’ve been improving week on week.
For all the talk of mercenaries etc the lack of effort from the Salford players hasn’t been questioned once by our supporters, it’s just the application which has been disjointed.
We’ve made four signings only for next season (stark difference to last year), I can see another two happening so the nucleus of the squad will remain and in 2015 we should see some consistency in our performances.
