anybody got the address/postcode for eccles rugby club? had it but lost it due to phone crashing, been advised to park there and not in the stadium grounds after the fiasco last season of getting out

Eccles Rugby League Club
(incorporating Salford Juniors)
Moat Hall, Hallsworth Road
Eccles, Manchester M30 7LS
United Kingdom

Tel: 0161 788 0011

See that Gleeson should be back this weekend so that off sets the loss of Gaskill and that Evalds & Ford are included so you'd expect one of them to make it at least.

cheers

As long as there is no murphy Im happy, looking forward to this game.

Will be interesting to see the crowd numbers. Think a saturday 3pm should bring a few more for both sides.

No murphy in squad....good.

With some of the changes to the squad makes me think if Noble was behind some of the new recruitment in Emmit and Gaskill as well as having something to say with the selection for tomorrow.

Like others I'd be happy if we've seen the last of Murphy (though without malice as he came at a very difficult time to help the club) and I've hope that Evalds gets his chance as he does look a bit special.

I wonder if the probable announcing of the new coaching set up tomorrow might motivate some of the players who will be playing for their careers at the club.

Football on at the same time so dont expect a big crowd.
When will they realise at Salford that a lot of fans dont just support Salford but also football clubs i.e Bury,Oldham,Bolton to name just three.
I expect about 4300 if we are lucky.
Would love to be proved wrong though.

Junction 11

Was Foran injured or dropped?

Would be surprised if he was dropped as he did look like he had started to boss things more on the pitch.

I heard he was dropped.

Would like to thank Hunte & Long for minding the shop. Very please they have put their own stamp on the team with so many young players in the squad today. Way to go.

Think the fact that we saw Evalds excel at fullback, Syned and Fages in the halves and Owen show a bit of class for his try that some of the senior players must be really cacking it that the Doc intends bringing in so many new players and the youngsters are proving where the future lies.

Hate to say anything negative about the club captain but sorry Wild seemed today to look like he was being targeted by Hull, think we need as a priority a hard tackling no nonsense #13 who has some ball handling skills.

#13 as ball handler is not the norm anymore. If we've got a ball handler at 1 we could afford an extra carrier in that position, if you look at Mauro on you tube, he's tailor made for the hard tackling role.

Rose coloured glasses!
Evalds caught the high ball well and delighted that he didn't let the side down but ,other than being competent,he impressed by simply not making mistakes.Didnt pose a threat.
Sneyd cost us 2 tries. Kicked out on the full and had a kick charged down.
Theo anonymous.
Owen,I like.
Look, I think it's important not to criticise these boys and dent their confidence but its also important not to big them up.
They are probably ones for the future but,for heavens sake,lets not think you can build a competitive team around the kids.
Reality check,please.

I like Owen as well but thought he was pretty poor today apart from a bit of magic for his try. Couple of knock ons due to lack of concentration, his distribution wasn't as good as usual neither was his tackling. I think the kid is class & is the future but just didn't think he was his usual self today. Evalds had a decent game but didn't think he was tested that much as Hull's kicking game was pretty poor, Sneyd from what I have seen of him is a better bet at Full Back than in the halves. To be honest I think Foran was our best after against the Giants & was disappointed he was dropped, think he showed signs of leadership that game & I felt we lacked a bit of direction today without him. Performance felt a bit flat for me & it was a poor game overall IMO but the effort was there and we looked fit which was pleasing.

You dont like the kids do you Bonita? Your mate Nobby will be doing without them no doubt and bring in half a dozen six foot amazon mercenaries to replace them. The brand of Rugby will change no doubt to accommodate the colossuses so brought in and the young uns will have to tread water for a couple of years and then move on. However for me they have shown that they all will make it as they have been well taught.

On the subject of `teaching` the coaches need to sort out Dixons hopeless lobbed passing and surely Gleason has to play LEFT centre to accommodate his distribution (to Broughton). Currently his inside ball from right centre is not being picked up by anyone.
