NO NEED THE ATTITUDE IS THERE BARTON FLYER, I DIDNT SEE IT

No need to shout - like many others I think I was getting rather fed up with people instantly leaping to criticise the club at any opportunity - cheers!

IF Talau is 100% fit I pop him back in the centre for Tyrer and leave the rest.

McGilvray has never let us down on the wing, Gibson looked OK in the centre last Sunday for mine and he's more pace that Tyrer from what I've seen (and set up a decent try), Broughton to stay on the other wing Talau in the centre Bob's your mothers brother.

Any news on whats actually wrong with Henry, we'll miss him again.

I'm still slightly surprised to see that neither Sidlow of Jewitt are in the squad again, on Sunday we looked far to lightweight in the pack which restricted us making any yards and only having two big men on the bench didn't help.

I would have gone with something resembling this;

Fitzpatrick
Broughton
Talau
Gibson
McGilvray
Ratchford
M Smith
Cashmere
Alker
Jewitt
Adamson
Swain
Holdsworth
J Smith
Parker
Sidlow
Leuluai

salford win 24 12

Reds by 10 , although 20 or 30 would make a good start to the weekend.

Quote ="Red Preacher"Still can't believe the RFL have allowed/come up with the name 'Crusaders'. The crusades being one of the most terrible acts in the history of civilisation. (And I use the term "civilisation" loosely.) Surely there are more appropriate names. Say, for example, The North Wales Rarebitohs! For anyone who happens to be interested. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades'" What a terrible attempt at knocking us. I could go off on one about the devil being an evil, evil sort but I think it would be as pathetic as your attempt. The devil was/is a good egg. I fully expect stories of Rhinos, Tigers and even Giants killing people in days gone by just to balance things out and show there is no bias.

Back on thread topic as long as we don't get the start we did last time I think we'll come out on top.

We were 12-0 down by the time I got in the ground last time. lol

Salford to get beat

Dunno what's rattled your cage... I mean, seriously, I don't think anyone else on here thinks for one minute that I'm knocking you guys. Even your own fans who in the main are a pretty cool bunch from what I've experienced, haven't been offended.
I'm a big fan of expansion and really hope that a Welsh Super League club succeeds. (With a more appropriate name of course.)

As for your points with regards to Rugby League club names in general, well, in the main I just don't like them but for very different reasons as to not liking the term 'Crusaders'. The reason for me not liking the term 'Crusaders' is that the Crusades were a quite horrific event which stirs a great deal of emotion amongst Muslims to this very day. Surely, in light of this, a more appropriate and less controversial name could've been used. A name with historical significance. Like, for example, The Red Devils... Now, I'm guessing this is where you come back with a whole host of remarks about The Red Devils representing the Antichrist and such like. Well, lets hope you do my fellow Rugby League friend as I'm only more than happy to have a friendly, theological discussion. No inane platitudes but plenty of rhetoric.

If you decide that maybe I wasn't just taking the wee-wee then please, don't bother replying. However, I don't partake in trash talk as I see it as beneath me. Your call.

It was tongue in cheek.

Chill out. There's plenty of games left yet to get wound up.

With our squads I think that will be most weeks.

With Ganson in charge you lot start early this Friday with Scuba Steve giving us a walk over by blowing the pea out of his whistle and sending 3 or more of yours to the bin.

Have seen a few predictions of Quins to finish bottom this season.

crusaders have a far better team on paper if they can put it together fri night saders by 30

Doesn't mean a thing.

Leeds had a better squad on paper than us last year and we beat them. So did Hull. So did most other teams.

Most teams are capable of beating any other in SL, it's the consistent ones that do well, not always the 'best team on paper' (eg See any Warrington side in the last 8 years)

Highly unlikely but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Best of luck with the new venture in Wrexham. Let's hope it'll work out for you and for RL.

5 tries for Luke Dyer as well, yeah?

Attendance: 5049

i think it will be a lot closer than most people have said. I think Salford by only 4 points.

as far as I am aware we do not have Devil anywhere in our name, I have just checked again and all the stuff says Salford City Reds, so where do you get this Devil from.
