Moon didn't get injured until we signed him then he broke his ankle, previuos to that he had no problems playing almost constantly from 2006 either first grade or county grade rugby.

Agreed , considering the busted ankle and busted Hand injuries , he healed up pretty quickly and it didn't really effect his onfield performances which were impressive considering most overseas signings take a season to really bed in & play well .

That's why the Hernia Op he won't play again this season story sounded odd , Salford Strap them up & Jab them up and don't put on the operating table unless it's pretty serious .

Mcpherson pretty much played a 3rd of the season with a busted Knee until he busted his other knee !

Jewitt played the latter half of the season Jabbed up with a bad shoulder injury , until it got too bad .

Due to the size of the playing squad, I don't think the club have any option but to patch them up and put them out. It would also explain why our season tails off so badly every year.

According to reports he went to the rfl tribuneral to get an early release and they told him he couldnt and that he would have to stay.

If he his with us next season under duress,I bet he is on the treatment table a lot.Like you say let him go.

[iPress reports this morning state that the Leeds Rhinos want Joel Moon



If this is true and not just paper talk then I think we better get use to the idea Mr Moon won't be playing for the Reds in 2013.



Good luck to the lad it's a short career and he must do what's best for him and his family. Plus he's made it clear he does not want to be with the Salford City Reds were led to believe.



Like everything in the game it will all come out in the wash sooner or later...



ROLL ON NEXT SEASON.. WITH or WITHOUT JOEL MOON.

but he also said he was homesick,

Obviously suffering with the same problem as Hudson Smith all those years ago. For those who don't know Hudson Smith he was an Australian signing that apparently pleaded with the club to release him from his contract due to severe home sickness and then signed for the Bradford Bulls the day after he was released.

'Homesick' will always be a good lad in my eyes. He beat the living out of Matt Schultz at The Willows, bought me a couple of drinks in Sydney and comes across as a decent bloke. Although irrelevant, he has hands like Pat Jennings (I bumped into him in a civic amenity site) - bloody huge.



I have never held it against anyone wanting to leave Salford as, let's face it, we have been a circus for many years.

See all the other fans are stirring the with Joel on Twitter adding fuel to fire, seems to be listening too.

Adolf Hitler is thought to have been a much more affable boss than Winston Churchill too.

Typical scouser Saints fans trying to nick one of ours when Salford are down and people are kicking, HMRC only spotted the tax owed after the winding up order was issued.
