Think Chamberlain is a very good loan signing and certainly improves us at centre. Whilst Briscoe is in the twilight of his career and a long way from player that left us, his ability to get us out of our 20M will improve us and his experience will help the likes of Martin, Barron etc, just a shame it never really worked out here for McIntosh.

Certainly two signings that maybe are not earth shattering but ultimately they improve us in the short term and can see an awful lot of turnover between now and the start of the next preseason.

If we’re paying a fee for Rowley, I for one want him here straight away. £150,000 is a lot to pay for Salford’s loss of his services for 1 season. The Chamberlain deal is for a months loan but is it subject to an extension if it works out?

I can actually see the benefits of Rowley starting in 2025, working behind the scenes. Him not associated with this season.

Pretty sure Salford will be keen for him to depart soonest ?

Assuming he is here for next season then planning FC's future will naturally distract him from the role at Salford.

Can't blame them for cashing in, not sure if they already have a replacement in mind ?

Cashflow huge issue there, Dupree, Ackers & Croft all moved on in last year, cant be out of the question that he brings player(s) with him ?

Most reports seem to be saying it's an appointment for next season, not this. I would also like to have him now ideally if we are paying a fee but do feel that the club are doing the right thing in securing his services. It looks like we have identified and got our number one target, whatever it takes and however long we have to wait. I feel that is a statement of intent.
