It's a shame it'll be KR who reap the long term benefits.

Yeah, but that's pretty much par for the course for any player coming through Bradford's junior ranks - other teams are the ones who benefits due to the poor management of the club.

Lee Briers.
Just off the top of my head.

Lewis Dodd from St Helens.

Easily the most highly rated English product for years. A host of NRL clubs are already trying to sign him after his unprecedented display in Saints recent tour of Australia.

Evidence?

As ever there is none, he’s confused opinion with fact.

At Fev I'd suggest the two who might have a higher profile at the end of the season than they have now are James Harrison, who came on in leaps and bounds as last season went on, is still only 23, and was effective either in the middle or at edge back row, and Alec Susino, who was consistently one of Barrow's best players last season, can play huge minutes and probably hasn't yet attracted the attention he deserves.

Richardson with Trueman could turn out to be a great partnership for us. Or could be a massive bust.

Looking forward to seeing the signing of Tyla Hepi too. He's getting big raps in pre season by all accounts.

As a Salford fan (and as last year proved) we're really a team unit and we've had a lot of unsung heroes over the past couple of seasons.

As mentioned by another poster I expect Seb I (I'm not even gonna try and spell his name ) to have a big year. A 2017 Dream Teamer at Hudds, our conditioning staff will have him firing and ready to go and I'm hoping for big things.

Pauli Pauli was also a massive impact player when we had him on loan last year and again I reckon he'll be in peak shape to terrorise a few defensive lines this year.

I think Lolohea could have an absolute stormer for us as well. Showed plenty of glimpses last season and with his recent International displays and alongside a fit Kevin Brown we could have one of SL best HB pairings.

Harry Smith and Kai Pearce Paul from Wigan

You conveniently forget to mention that you have lost your Man of Steel Jackson Hastings, who made your team so successful last year. You cannot possibly hope to recover from his loss with the The Long Neck in his place. I predict that Salford will not make the playoffs, especially with a James Maloney improved Catalans team, and Sonny Bill Williams combining with Richard Leutele at Toronto.
