Proven and still proving it week on week in super league. 

Seem to remember him getting quite an unfair reception when he played against Widnes for Toronto. I'm sure if he leaves Salford there would be a Super League team wanting to take him.

He will be with us shortly then!!

 

No he won't mate!  He's heading to (the other ex-Lions club) Crusaders for 2026. They've announced it today.

Spelly.

It is likely to be either you or Swinton, anyway

 

Turns out it was Swinton.

There might well be other French options who could step in.

the forwards are now a different batch that we started the season with

our big problem now is centres - reading the injury update Jack is probably out for the season, Fleming 2-3 weeks away so looks like roberts senior and edge are the only choices - I know Lloyd and the wire lad have played there but the other 2 are miles better

thoughts ?

Or is this leading up to the Championship being the GB game with SL elevated to 'international' ?
