It's a tough league especially if you don't have a backer.

Genuine question. Did Salford play bad or KR play good?

Why not kick someone while they're down?

Must be worrying though, that team is too good to get relegated, do you think off-field issues are affecting performance?

Easy to see whats gone on the players are uncertain about their futures.The signing of two poor N.R.L players has destroyed team spirit.

While the referee was awful, We were worse than him

What's up with carney and why when he has played has he scored so few?

I think that was clear to see last night, Kopczak has been the main starter & the main driver, started on the bench, clearly seen his frustration last night boiling over.
I not sure it can be put down to one single area, however the key to this team all season has been the team spirit, last night other than Kopczak there was none.
The whole situation is not helped by the continued speculation around the clubs future, I am not sure where the club can go, certainly the Salford public have given up on MK style.

I've not given up on mk but you can't blame him for last night . The defence was great from both sides in the main , difference for me was they didn't drop the ball and they kicked better close to our line. We are paying now for 7/8 weeks without a decent hooker and using Joseph.

Please explain why using Phil Joseph,caused last nights performance. Thanks

We won. Everytime that has happened over the last ten years, it has been down to poor opposition (apparently). HTH

If you read my post, we used Joseph as a hooker for 7/8 weeks and it killed us . Tompkins and Joseph as your hookers stinks of the championship

Sorry if I upset vekder. Just showing a bit of interest and asked a genuine question. Nothing meant

Because he doesn't have a class centre like Shenton inside of him and we utilise him differently than Cas did.

No offence taken mate. Just that everytime we win it's because the opposition were poor. Funny how they all save their worst for us! (Feel free to continue the tradition in 2 weeks time!)

The last couple of times I've Watched Salford the players seem a bit over heavy. By that I don't mean fat but over muscled and it seems to affect their mobility and sharpness.

Vekder, if we lose to the better side, we will take it. Hope its a good game with plenty atmosphere and another good un for the armchair viewers.

Regarding some of the points raised - HKR deserved to win but I don't know how anybody can think our abject performance did not contribute to that result. The reason why Carney doesn't get the tries he use to finish at Cas can be seen from Space. We also miss Tommy Lee and okay it's not a popular view & he's not James Roby but I still believe it. Tomkins has improved but had a bad game & Kenny is new. Our kicking game is exposed when we face a team that has one. Griffin already appears to have gone to Hull and our back row punches below its weight. Apart from the wingers we lack pace and even Robert Lui has gone off a bit. Sorry rant over.

Carney has gone from been a 20+ try winger to score just 6 for you this season.
Seems very strange as he is an attacking weapon you seem not to have used very well?

but we let go a winger who did that in 2 weeks

He's being used as an extra forward to take the pressure off our light pack. He's not just sitting on the end of walk-ins like he used to, although I'd take 20 walk-ins at this moment in time.

I don't think we'll be in the Championship because I don't think we'll have a club if we get relegated (which looks likely)it will put a lot of people out of their year on year misery of following Salford RLFC including myself. The move to Barton finished the club off for me, poor management from the previous lot and Koukash threatening to walk every other year and spitting his dummy out affects the club on and off the field.

First class Rugby League no longer belongs in Salford, they will never attract the required fan base and it's best they hammer the final nails in the coffin.

I had some of the best times of my life at The Willows and made great friends who I will know for the rest of my life but tbh I will not miss going up to the AJ Bell whatsoever, it's a crying shame especially to see fans of other clubs laughing at our demise, I can understand them hating Koukash but the genuine decent Salford fan? Pathetic.

Solly , it seems to me you want your own Pity Party,I don't know anyone who is laughing at your so called demise, you are not down and out yet anyway, again nobody can predict what Marwan will do, not even Marwan at times,I agree it's not looking good for Salford but it's not over by a long way, for a start I think you will win your last 3 middle 8s games,that gives you 8 points and the MPG, which is a start.Charlie knows.Remember the Alamo.

Utter turd mate, how is that looking for pity?

I won't miss it when/if it goes,I am stating what I and a lot of others think.

Ignore Solly Charlie. I dont think he has been to the AJB in the last couple of years.

Just look at his posts - all negative - hasnt given one positive mention for a long time.

The sad thing is that there are many fans of the same ilk - all they do is moan, nit pick & criticise - which is easy to do.

Until the points deduction we have seen the best Salford team for maybe 15 years - since then its clear the unit hasnt been as strong for obvious personal reasons but as you say - there is still hope that Marwan will confirm that he is staying & that would give everyone on the field a bit of a lift.

I can really identify with your assessment, I have continued to be a season ticket holder & have supported for more than 40 odd years, however over the last year feel I am going through the motions. I stay because I don't want to give up on the only professional club in the city of Salford, a sport I played at school & have supported ever since.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but looking back the club died when it moved from the Willows. Passing down Weaste lane the other day I thought why we had ever contemplated moving from its heart beat to a wasteland in Barton, clearly pushed by the RFL who told us we would never be considered for the super league at the Willows, the very same organisation that continues to put the knife in now.
I think it easy for other to patronize or ridicule our support but since moving to Barton I defy any other supporters to injure the disproportional penalties inflicted on the club year after year.
I also believe the owner as a death wish on the genuine proud supporters of Salford who no longer want to be part of the circus.

Finally I don't have any issues of playing rugby in the championship, however we first need a club & supporter as the main ingredient, sadly I think we are sitting on the edge of neither.
