Really struggling with the Maloney Barrett comparison.
Barrett was a running, strike half with a great passing game, solid kicking game and decent defence.
Maloney is much more in the Deacon style of half.
For me we have our controlling half in Sammut.
Hastings has literally held Salford up on his own.
Hastings is a proven SL player.
Maloney is one of the worst defenders in the NRL. Maloney is 33.
We get Hastings for 2 years we get a proven SL style player.
Personally wouldn’t touch Maloney with a barge poll.
What is annoying is plenty of people in here myself included said we should have gone for Hastings when he became available from Manley.
I do sometimes wonder how our player recruitment is managed when Salford sign a clear top class player and we don’t go in for him but then 2 years on suddenly appreciate his ability and are then required to pay over market price to sign him.
Because Radlinski is in charge of recruitment and he’s got about as much idea of a good signing as a brick wall, mark my words whilst he’s running the club day to day we’ll never have good recruitment
