Butcher , the ' New Broom ' they have brought with them is Big.
Ed Farish's favourite Quote at the Forever Reds Meeting Last Night was ' That is currently being reviewed'
From the Marketing strategy , Hospitality- Commercial staff , Match days , Academy & Backroom staff.
His comment on one staff member was ' I've never met a guy more universally disliked ' of course I couldn't grasp who he was pertaining to ..
the honeymoon period ' if there ever was one ' is truely over , the thanks for sticking with us arm 'round the shoulder ' talk is done. We're going to get better , keep up or face the consequences was my take.
He openly discussed the signing of Jamie Soward for 2014 , also Luke O'Dwyer but mentioned O'Dwyer had a young family & a wife in a good job so was was playing this down .
Their immediate targets were a Quality Fullback, A Centre ,a Back Rower & Two Props .
Mentioned they were still tracking Glen Fisiiahi , he's under long term contract at Warriors but playing reserve grade, and he'll only 'bear that for so long'.
Said they were planning to discuss Broughtons contract soon , but said that a number of contracts expiring this season and at this stage they were unlikely to be renewed, impression I got was he is tasked with freeing up as much salary cap for 2014 top provide Salford with a war fund to go out a recruit both in the UK , overseas , he also mentioned RU wasn't out of the question.
Mentioned they are close to agreeing a deal with John Cartwrights Titans for a 4 week December preseason at Goldcoast and the possibility of player exchanges .
Also sitting down with Oldham to agree Dual Reg deals with them with a top priority to help them out of CC1 this season so next seasons Dual Reg allocation would be playing against the better grade sides .
