I'm with yoi mitie, MR is very insulting and i should no, after all he doesn't want to share oxygen with me.! However on this occasion he is correct, Salford would and should be looking to recruit good young talent.

Isnt that what the academy is for? Anyway you agreeing with M.R, as put me in a state of shock.

It seems that the brain injury rate around Salford is more serious than previously thought.



I can't believe that DI or anyone else would think that Senior is worth a punt. Far too much of a gamble, even on a pay-as-you-play deal. What is the point in bringing in a well-seasoned, old and injury-ridden centre? The only reason would be to hope he remains on the pitch more than off it to plug a gap for 12 months. That's not going to help the team in the long run when we have two young and talented wingers who will constantly have to change centre partners over the next few years if the Club decide to sign stop-gap players. Better to bring in a longer-term centre who is more likely to stay on the field over the course of a season and let a partnership develop. That could be from our own ranks or not.



The odds would be heavily stacked against you if you were to sign Senior. Injury-free with reasonable fitness he could do the business. But just because he's done it in a very good Leeds team for a number of seasons, coupled with age, injuries and lack of a long-term option means for me, the gamble would be too great.



The Club would be better suited putting money behind a more secure venture than a retiring, injury hit ex-star out for a final pay-day.

Do you know anybody with a brain injury or their family who have to look after these people?

He has not got one,from us.

I take it you live in Salford area then Butcher.



I actually agree with your last point, regarding a more secure venture, but the hierachy haven't, and won't. So the next best thing imo is to try to unleash these talanted wingers we have with an experienced, classy centre with a bit of nouse who has been their and done it. Our wingers would score and learn so much more off a fit and healthy Keith Senior than Gleeson, Gibson and Vievers put together. You should know you were a centre yourself. Or has the thirozene worn off.

Exactly DI,and another thing to add,they would`nt get bullied off the opposing centres,put it this way ,face gleeson or an half fit senior.I know who i`d want on my side.

Yeah definately agree Mitie mouse, Senior has plenty of aggression in his game which gives players around him that second wind which spurs you on. Our current centres are weak defensively and get rag dolled about far to often when they hit the ball up, and they lose collision frequently.

I disagree with you DI on one point.



I agree that on his day, Senior is a great Centre. He could provide an incredible platform for Williams or Broughton and this is where I disagree...



...could.



The likely outcome that Senior could replicate his best Rugby for one of our capable wingers? Odds are dropping.



My only disagreement is the fact that time is not on Keith's side. For a team like Salford, where we can't afford to carry players, the odds of Senior being a dud are too high imo.



For the record I never played Centre, amateur or for Salford. As for "Thirozene" once I find out what the hell it is I'll let you know. As a guess, is it a substance that changes your ability to spell it?

Thirazine



I'm sure i saw you play centre and second row, and i would take the gamble on Keith purely for Jodies pace.

A player for Leeds was brain damaged playing against Salford back in the seventies,i have took offence off your posts about brain damaged people,please explain why you think its appropriate.A very good friend of mine was also brain damaged in a car crash,please tell me why if anybody disagrees with you they are brain damaged?

The Butcher shows immaturity with Brain injury comments. Lets hope he doesn't have to suffer such bad brain injury, or any type on dimentia in his life time. Not funny.
