Apparently handed in a transfer request not long after signing a new 3 year deal. HKR are chasing him offering big money. Can't see him staying at Salford now

Can you ever rely on him? He will always follow the money and it will be him first the team second.

Praise to Salford for refusing...however I wonder how long it will be before he is long-term injured.

or some similar excuse for him to stop playing seriously for Salford so they are more-or-less forced to sell him on.

Since he left Leeds he's not stayed at a club for longer than one season.  The most appearances he's made was for Oldham in 2021 with 18 games.  Only played 14 for Salford last season (and only 7 times for us).

The lad needs to knuckle down and play some games for Salford, then see where he is in 2 years time.  He is still a developing player and has a long way to go.  I expect because he's been at Leeds as a kid he expects to get back to a club like this quickly - doesn't seem like a player you can trust too much if he wants away so soon.

@viking-man I've been lucky enough to work with rugby league professionals at club and international level. As an ex widnes employee I found out there is no sentiment at that level. Money talks. I fully agree with what you say. If TD moves to HKR, for example, I think it will be just another stepping stone in his big club quest. Wigan, Saints or Warrington will be watching and come in for him. But you have to question his loyalty/character to pull such a move as he is doing.  I'd imagine the situation would be untenable at Salford now and a disruption to the playing group. How long before he wants to test himself in the NRL? He is a good player but as you say needs to knuckle down somewhere instead of mercenary behaviour.

Couldn't rate him as better than any number of our locals like the O'Neil's etc. I doubt that he will get many more three year deals offered!!!!

From what I've read Wigan are after him now. His head has definitely been turned.

Why didn't we get any money for a bloke who's apparently worth £100k 5 minutes later?

Should add, I'd have jumped at the £100k if I was Salford.

A short career so the lad is entitled to go where he likes the club is just his employer not his owner, he is playing well at Salford hence other clubs will want him, he owes nothing to anyone.

We only had him on a 1 year deal, and let him go early as we got Josh Johnson in return (who we let go for nothing as well).  Agreed - it's not very good business from us here at all.

What's the Oneilsmgot to do with anything ? He is far better than anything we have at the moment.
