Anyone heard anything of this, and what is the thinking?

Breaking: Wakefield confirm Salford move to take Paul McShane on loan could not be agreed - Wakefield wanted Theo Fages on loan

Can only think he wants away, and to be honest who could blame him?

However, I hope the turnaround in situation can see him re focused on our season and that he is onboard for the fight we have ahead.

Hes a great asset to our side.

one of our best players looks to be demoralised with the changing room and no wonder, I would love to see Paul stick it out but I ain't going to resent it if chooses to move on

However he feels, he has always given 100% and been our best player on many occasions. Some of the other players need to take leaf out of his book and put a similar kind of effort in - a true professional if ever there was one.

I would hope nobody is going anywhere until the new coach is in position at least.

Seems a strange decision McShane wanting out immediately as he's only got till the end of the season before he can move on.

Idealy I'd rather Sammut go in exchange for Fages then McShane could then interchange with him and Godinet could go back into the halves.

Well, its neil barker, so i wouldn't put too much stock in it, especially the theo fages bit, thats ridonkulous.

Warrington will be on the look out for a hooker i would imagine.

I believe both Hull clubs are interested in signing him for next season as well.

having come from a winning background its no wonder, must be a big culture shock for him

Ever since Webster resigned and Mr Carter brought to our attention that some players' did not want to play for the coach, it entered my mind that just maybe some of the players were split over this and did not want to play for each other, I say this because a couple of the players have accused others in print of not performing for the coach, and where as in the past the players have been a tight knit unit I fear that the togetherness might not be as strong, now all of a sudden if we believe the rumours one of our consistently better player's
has in effect asked to leave the club, I hope I'm putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 but I can't help thinking maybe the problems are a bit deeper than we think.

Of all the players I've seen this year, he is the least likely to be one of the ones MC was talking about when he implied some needed to go.
I guess he may be upset about Webster leaving but it's unlikely to be at this stage so quickly.

Hope it isn't true anyway. I'd build a team around our front row of Anderson, McShane and Scruton. There are teams with much more money would be happy with that front row.
