Hopefully not true.

Why not for 1 maybe 2 seasons?
Always seems to have a good game against us so maybe he could do the same for us against sides that are aorund us.
Also his experience could help bring on the youngsters coming through

He does have a good set of hands and a bit of brain which is his strength, he was never that zippy around the rick anyway so being older he wont lose as much pace to start with.

How many players have we said that about over the years?

As usual, at least two years too late for that particular ship.

He's too old. Why would we replace a 33 year old who's now too old for Super League for a 34 year old. Drew does have a better all around game than Robbie Paul but he's still getting on and wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.

Paul's game is all about speed, drew has a brain and would certainly give defences somthing to think about around the ruck, we might become a bit more expansive with his passing and organisation skills

Wat we doing with alker then if lee and drew is coming because both of them are hookers but if we play lee at half back that means ratchford wont be our number 7.

Drew is a backward step, too old and knackered, will spend most of the time in treatment.

I had hoped signing overseas players on their decline was no longer acceptable for Salford.

Lee could be our exchange 9 with Drew and Alker in 2nd row?

Seems logical to me
