That's quality.



Can't agree with your analysis of Salford though. Completely dire yet again. I fear we're going to start heading into a bad tail spin from here.

We looked a very poorly coached team, which is no great surprise I suppose. But it did emphasise that the Board desperately need to make a decision and act decisively.
Tries from dummy half, tries from simple one pass to prop runs, tries from centre & wing moving out 3 yds whilst the 2nd row inside went 1 yd and got caught. All things that a decent coach should be able to put right.
I don`t know where we stand legally with McRae can we bring someone in with him still technically head coach, or should we be sitting down with him to buy his last few months off to clear the decks to try to bring someone in ? Assuming we can get who we want mid season !
The team at the end and before that looked as dispirited a team as i have seen for some considerable time and I fear for the rest of the season.
What is certain is that with a lot of the season to go the dream is (or has) turned into a nightmare and needs action now. The importance of this season from a Franchise to the move to Barton cannot be overstated.
To all the other loons who were there last night

Are the people in power at Salford determined to ruin the club ?
It is Blatantly obvious the players need a coach with ideas and imagination to take them forward.
You can not tell me that the players we have are cr&p most would walk into another SL team.
At present we are one trick ponies where Patten and Holdsworth do the link up play, this was sussed out very early.
We have our best kicker in the centres and a SH who took Saints to the Grand Final so he cant be that bad, looking frightened to death when he gets the ball.
With the money saved from Baileys retirement why cant they pay of McRae and get a proper coach in ?
At this rate Crusaders and Wakefield will overtake us, now how embarassing would that be.

Maybe Salfords problems don't mean as much to you as others, or maybe you think like Salford that fifty per match is the acceptable norm ?

Ow and how much does the last bit cost ?

Technically they already have if you factor in the points deduction for both Crusaders and Wakefield.!!

When your Ginger I'd guess a great deal of money.

BBc Sport have an interview with Phil Vievers " Salford are not in crisis".

Eh? I know the RFL bum everything that the Crusaders do but 3 wins only give them 6 points, whereas 4 wins give us 8 points, whatever deductions have been made.
I'll let you have Wakey though

Cheers Matey my apologies for the oversight if incorrect.

Well I was there and we were -poor. Some of our defending and positional play was terrible. Leading up to some of the softest, easiest tries you will score all season.

There are some serious issues within this team which need sorting ASAP!

Categorically YES. That's the only feasible explanation. And what's more, I think the people in power at Salford are just doing it for a giggle! Well, people in power at Salford, I'm not laughing!!




Maybe. Or maybe some others should learn to apply a bit of perspective before ranting wildly?
They wont though, don't fear. I'm quite resigned to watching them whip each other into a spiteful frenzy after each (supposedly expected) defeat on here.
I took two mates to the Warrington game and they were transfixed with a chap at the bottom of the shed who spent every minute of his time at the game telling people to "f*ck off". Refs, players, coaches, trainers, water carriers, opposition fans - from pre-match up to the players exit. He was quite a sight.

Perhaps he simply cares more than me, or maybe some people just get a twisted kick out of spouting hate?


Just dig out the quote where anyone's agreed that as an accepted norm and I'll buy a round (of bitter).

Like that last post Ex.Salf.Uni

At the end of the day at least we get to see fast free flowing high scoring games just a shame its always against us

And you are sorting out our Wembley trip?

Not just the defeats this time though is it. There's the whole off field scenario to take into account as well.

Only if you want to indulge yourself in all that. You choose whether to demand statements from the club, you choose whether you think you should be privvy to all the goings-on behind the conjecture. But the fact is, despite the crisis/saga/collapse, we got a record haul against Bradford. The fact is, long before the crisis/saga/collapse, this team of players had been as inconsistent and prone to explosion as a few the hot-headed fans on here.
Now, I'm not saying it's an ideal situation. But I think the supporters' energy could be better applied than fingering scapegoats week after week (oo-err!).

Fair points but we've conceded 50+ in 3 of the last 4 games. And thats before going into any of the off the field stuff. Can't blame the fans for getting frustrated.

EX.SALF.UNI only blames criticism of the club/coaches/players/staff/the grass they play on and the pidgeons in the shed at the supporters, in fact he holds those other things in such high esteme they are untouchable.

It's always rosey in EX.SALF.UNI land! Didn't you know he or she is even getting laid these days!

Not 'the' supporters, just some. Let's not confuse a handful of dreary internet grumblers as the voice of 2,500 regulars.
I'd be more inclined to engage in the bemoaning myself if the record changed once in a while, but the same clueless bitching just keeps rearing itself. I accept this is some kind of comfort to you and my alternative take on matters seems strange and other-worldly but I mean you no harm, your dark little corner of the internet is quite safe (unless, god-forbid, we win a game or two..!)

We've had some hurtful beatings and we all have to live in the hope that a coach exists who can get some consistency out of our players.
We've clearly got a team that needs to perform in the top percentile of its ability every week to get results, or even get close. I've just never bought into the idea that nobody is trying. I've only ever played at a very amateur standard, but even there I've not shared a rugby pitch with a player who's evidently half-d.

Fair play it's good to have a different view of things on here from time to time. Don't think the players aren't trying just think a few are peeved with the (lack of) goings on behind the scenes regarding the coaching situation.
