I'd like to see both sides getting a franchise actually. As I've said, I'd much prefer Salford to Leigh. I'm not all that convinced about the viablity of the Toulouse application (and I don't think the budget will stretch to 2 or three trips per season to France).pieater-alex posted:
You think Salford have a good squad - you should see Celtic Crusaders new recruits:
Mark Lennon (Hull Kingston Rovers)
Luke Dyer (Hull Kingston Rovers)
David Tangata-Toa (Hull Kingston Rovers)
Jordan James (Widnes Vikings)
Ian Webster (Widnes Vikings)
Aaron Summers (Widnes Vikings)
Philippe Gardent (Carolina Panthers)
Ben Flower (Bedwas RU)
I think Celtic have a stronger squad than Salford and I think it's a clear battle between Salford and Celtic this year.
They may win it but they are way over the salary cap. I am not sure what it is in nl1 but its only about 400k compared with 1.6 million in super league.the_cow posted:
I work in Manchester and often pick up a copy of the MEN (which is free in city centre)- they give a fair bit of coverage to Salford and General RL.
For instance, today they have 3/4 page about Robbie Paul and him becoming vice-captain, with the other 1/4 being a daily column written by a reporter they seem to have sent across to Florida to the Reds warm weather training there.
The Reds are lining up to be a massive force in NL1 this season- new recruits H. Paul, Phil Leuleui (prop), Craig Stapleton (Prop), and a young hb Chris Borghese- to go alongside Haggarty, Fitzpatrick, Littler, Myler, Wilshere and Mal Alker who have stayed on.
I could even see there side holding its own in SL nevermind NL- can see them walking it with only Leigh imo having a shout- Widnes have lost alot of players and I can't see Fax and Whitehaven having enough depth.
I thought I recognised that name; he used to be in the Washington Redskins squad, as a linebacker! Be interesting to see how well he makes the switch, especially playing for a large part of the game instead of short bursts as they do in the NFL.pieater-alex posted:
