They would if they get good offers, and u cant blame the salary cap because club like Wakefield have bought players like solamona and castleford buying players like Sherwin and Huddersfield buying Brett hodgson all quality players and them clubs all them get the same crowds we have had in the past, we haven’t sign one ex international since coming up in 2004

And what have Castleford and Huddersfield won? Answer, f*ck all.

Simms should go as well, since he has been hear we haven’t sign one top players and the only he sign Dunneman because he offered him 1 year and I heard rumours when he left was Dunneman want more money and Salford didn’t offer him what he wanted.



and he sign Quailty players like smith haha and swain.

im not saying we havnt won this n that, im saying we cant sign any good players even to start with.

Without John Wilkinson we would not have made Superleague at all, let alone the last franchise application.

We all owe him a huge debt of gratitude.

I think he has said he wants to hand it on to a person who can give it a good future.

There are no takers !!



The problem is that ,because of what he has done, supporters have turned him into some kind of 'God like' figure who can do no wrong and,having built him up are now ready to hammer him with criticism.



He is not perfect and has made loads of mistakes ,as we all would.

I never bought into the new stadium dream totally, and thought it would end in tears and I really hope that I turn out to be wrong.



The bottom line is that there is no point in slagging JW off.He has gone for the dream and,even if it doesn't work out ,we have been far better off with him than we would have been without him.



Plan B would be worth starting work on ,though !!

You need to be very careful of taking the ' renting a council facility ' route



Yes you might end up with a shiny concrete box to play in , but unless you run it and get revenue off it , you might end up like we are at Leigh



Not good

Staggered and disappointed at those knocking JAW. GT & TR make siome very good points in defence and the people pushing for him to go still have not put up any plausible alternative. Its put up or shut up time for them, preferably the former.

john wilkinson as done is best with resorces he as got if the person who wants wilkinson to go in to debt is willing to go in to debt why dont you seen as you care that much for the club why dont you take the debts on

"YOU HAVE TO SPECULATE TO ACCUMILATE" as bankers?



I had many dealings with Oldham Bears (remember them?) until they went bust. I watched the great hope of Doncaster ... until they went bust. I live in Rochdale .... who went bust.



I promise you all that had JW been in any of these towns, there would have been less promises and they would have a club without these histories. Their fans envy us for him.



Too many are happy to spend money they have not got and criticise for decisions they could not make.



RED FLAG RISING, Red Joldsworth, RED LEAGUE, and (especially) red13pjb; I put it to you to buy the club with the profits you obviously are making from your hot-air exploits and organic fertiliser spreading.



You could not make it up.

My only argument has to be that we show a lack of ambition , its so disheartning seeing teams around us do well and grow and get better with new stadiums and bigger crowds and play attractive rugby, and were still the same shower of e we always have been, no progress whatsoever, so I think the buck has to stop with JW, he is a lovely fella, but who honestly thinks he has the ambition to push us on and do you feel he is really selling the club to the right people , i.e. perspective owners . Its all well and good saying without him we wouldn't be in SL , well in 2 years time we won't be anyway and there doesn't seem to be any urgency from the club or JW to address this

So how do you know that is the case?

Can you tell me which clubs you're referring to? Are they punching above their weight or at the level that you might expect them to be?

I'm a Leigh fan and would have happily have seen JW at Leigh doing the job he's done for you.
