Given Salford have been saved , have any of our inside track posters heard anything about who we might be after to fill the Sivo space, assuming the quota issue is cleared up.

Given each club has 7 quota spots , who usually fill spots in the starting 17, the rules don’t cater for 40% of the potential players that could be impacted. That’s a pretty poorly thought out rule.

He`s not doing well with injuries these last couple of years.
Nevertheless a very good prospect that I hope we have a deal in place to take him back should he return from the NRL.

Gannon got the Stevie Ward vibes, talented but too injury prone, can’t see him having a long career, maybe dodged a bull it as if he had resigned it would be in a massive long term deal.

He didn't sign a deal that would have kept him here, why would he have signed up to one that commits him to returning?

5 weeks is relatively short. Gannon's still behind the likes of Newman in terms of repeat injuries, never mind Ward etc. The only link with Ward is the long-term lay off for concussion issues last season. He's still a way to go to follow Ward out of the game early, and concussion protocols in the game are much more robust since Ward was playing.

It's scary when you think about how much we used to condone concussion. IIRC there was an important game not that long before he retired that Kevin Sinfield when was knocked out, yet he came back in the same game to win it for us. This would be impossible now under current rules.
