What's all this so-called 'optimism' I keep hearing from Salford fans about what you think you'll do during the coming season? On what basis exactly?

All you've attracted to your usually empty stadium is load of over the hill players and overrated ones like Rangi Chase.

I don't see you challenging the Wigans,Saints and Wires of this world. I don't even see you challenging my lot Hull KR. (who are a much bigger club than Salford, by the way)

Rumour had it your dodgy new owner wanted to change your name to the Salford OAPs in tribute to your new acquisitions. Can anyone confirm or deny this story?

I'm afraid you plastic Mancs are in for a poor season despite your hilarious predictions of a top four place. I can see a lowly 10th place finish for hapless Salford. You heard it here first.

Now, people, you have a choice. You could either recognise this as the ramblings of someone who's bored because his mum has hidden her underwear catalogue and the box of Kleenex, or you could respond and engage in a day or so of tedious [ibantz[/i over the usual subjects (crowd size, ageing players, overrated players, my club's better than your club, y'know, the usual).

Choose wisely.

Red John I'm afraid you've now made this thread fun.

DON'T FEED THIS TROLL.

Pure class that my friend!

No,we don't agree

Your from Hull. I Cannot have anything But pity for any poor soul from that Hell hole,

Bonita Red, Antwerp Red. I feel you've let the side down on this one. The secret is to give an answer that cannot be countered on their terms.

See Mike Ehrmantraut's answer as an example.

The original poster's attempt at a rise is so pathetically inept it doesn't deserve reasoned response.

Well said Butcher, Bonita merely enjoys encouraging arguments!!

Bruce has previous for spouting complete drivel, in fact it's a refreshing change that it's directed at you rather than Hull FC.

I still stick by what I said when you announced your signings though, 8th is your target and if you get there it's been a really good season. Whatever happens, hopefully Koukash's enthusiasm doesn't waver because if he sticks it out and continues building I think you could be really competetive in another couple of years, and it's always nice to see another club battling for silverware.

This has put a right spring in my step this morning.

Water off a very rich, much improved ducks back.

A bit ironic, seeing as you seem to enjoy chasing him around the forum, stirring it up.

Carry on.

On the contrary, what no one has realised is that our recruitment policy has been predicated on a secret desire of Dr K to win the Eurovision Song Contest. A skilful blend of tenors and basses has been put together by Brian Noble under the cover of building a Superleague rugby team.
I confidently expect to see the announcement in the MEN of Gareth Malone as head coach any day now.
Don't forget folks, you read it here first!

Quite correct.
He's stalking me and he's a bloody stirrer.
He'll be sitting in the next seat if I'm not careful

As long as he realises "Better The Devil You Know" has already been done...

You have to be registered to read the article, but is it saying there are too many 'individuals' (i.e. not team players) in the squad and it's going to be difficult to get them to gel? If so, I agree. For me, our problem next season won't be strength in depth or ageing players, as some seem to think, it'll be getting the whole to be greater than the sum of the individual parts.

This must be a first
A Noble team that may fail as it contains too many individuals capable of unscripted play!








sheesh

think salford will be better than hull kr this season they wernt much worse than them last season

There's a lot of people predicting Salford to finish outside the eight. If these people don't want to take us seriously I'm not in the least bit bothered. Personally I much prefer it this way because it takes some pressure off.

It makes laugh how people keep saying our signings aren't that great. There are only Leeds and Huddersfield with the same level of quality in the half backs, and I'd like to know who all these amazing superstar second rowers are that people on these forums seem to think are better than Hock and Hansen?

I don't really know where Salford will end up this season but I'm confident of two things...
1) it will be entertaining to watch
2) if they don't do it this time it won't be long before they do.

People said the same about Man City not that long ago. Bet their fans are happy enough.

The fact we have people coming on here with lets be honest a slight whiff of jealousy is just brilliant. For years we've been little old Salford - a lot of peoples 2nd team, the also ran's if you will. Never in our clubs history have we been given such an opportunity like we have so it makes me smile even more when I see cheese wits like this chap coming on here dogging our chances. Must see us as a rival because I don't remember him saying the same things this time last year.
