Take with a pinch of salt because it's in the M.E.N but apparently we are closing in on centre Blake Ayshford and also looking at S/O Robert Lui and Mark Flanagan from Saints.

We really shouldn't be thinking about new recruits till we are actually safe.

Props I would have thought are desperately needed, Lui to me says Chase is history.

Yes doesn't look good for Chase, but this Lui character seems to have a bit of a troubled past thought we'd be steering away from that.

Such a shame we can't keep Taylor the man has been colossus for us this season, a true professional and a credit to himself.

I'd be tempted to see if Hull would swap Taylor for Chase, agree though he for me has been the best forward by a mile, every effort should be made too sort out what the issue is with Patterson also. I wouldn't be overly bothered if HH went, good player but no better than plenty of other players we could replace him with who would earn much less.

In a playing sense I agree but if players like HH,who's been no trouble at any time during his long career,feel the need to move on then it's a sad state of affairs.
It could be that MK is looking to move him on,I suppose,but it'd be a shame.
Or maybe none of its true and he'll stay !

I think Taylor had personal reasons for wanting to go to Hull.

Other than the Barker's guessing where have you heard that. Not implying that you are wrong, just interested to know, because it seems highly unlikely Dobson, Chase and Lui will all be playing for Salford next season.

Could be another major overhaul next season, but hopefully we can keep some of our better players on the books and add a little quality, mainly Paterson. Like most I would really like to see a couple of quality props added to the squad and Ayshford looks a quality player.

Correct,so do the math

If Chase is going that would appear to be the last of the larger than life characters gone, Sheens now to bring in people who have a team ethic who are solid grafters.

Agreed.
The biggest signing would be Sheens himself.
If the Australian national coach can't sort this mess out................

I'm not connected at the club, but wanted to know if there was something more solid than Barker's rambling. Chase may well be on his way out or just as easy Lui isn't coming to Salford, then there is the distinct possibility Dobson's body isn't able to do another season.

Thanks for the advice though.
