They was full on quota, had 9 overseas but Lam and O’Neill don’t count.

Will be both. If they can free up a quota spot and cap space quickly they can offer Macdonald a multi year deal without having to worry about dispensations and adjusting quota/cap for 26, a luxury that Rovers or whoever else don’t have so puts them in the driving seat. 

Anything he says should be taken with a pinch salt, but saw DB arguing with some Salford fans on social media last night. He seems to be hinting that he knows the financial situation at Salford is worse then being let on, possibly administration. If that’s the case he’s obviously trying to get deals done before the rest of the vultures circle and it’s a free for all. 

Other advantage for Leigh with a player such as MacDonald is that if they're settled in the area they won't have to uproot or face a lengthy daily commute.

I simply can't see Salford's players being worth enough in transfer fees to even keep going this season. They've already had their TV money and hammerings due to fielding a weak (and likely disinterested) team won't get the turnstiles clicking either. I can see them just folding with results null and void (ala Toronto)


Embarrassing for the game as this could have been avoided back in October by simply demoting them to the Championship, players contracts would have been null and void and they would be doing like London are doing rebuilding on a low budget. The whole idea of 'franchises' is the game can pick and choose who's in or out and they haven't done it properly.

Loverugbyleague saying Nene Mcdonald in high demand including being linked with Oldham?? He's far too good for the Championship and have Oldham found a pot of gold on the pennines or something??
