The 2023 pack should rumble us upfield over the course of 80 mins against most opposition, if the incumbents play to reputation and ability.

Scoring when we get upfield will be the issue we have to fix, [iagain[/i

When did we last fix it? 2010 - 2014?

All good matey, i genuinely think this is the full crap year of turmoil, and next year will be a great year for us

Looks like we're here to help with Powells first win, Rowley has included six players no Salford fan has ever heard of, must have dragged them off the street, and included players like Greenwood who's been injured all season, i'd forgotton all about him and Escare and Livett who've been ruled out for the season. He's basically pulled the first 17 other than Cross and King. I think you might just nick it.

TBH wasn't that nearly always just a high kick to the wing - sure we got a bunch of trys from Hicks & Monaghan doing it, but it was hardly a fluid / dynamic attacking strategy that cleverly unpicked a defence.

(Recognising there's a definite skill to kick it (under pressure) in the right place repeatedly, which I'm not sure we've currently got anyway).

Should be close then!

2023 - Year of Steel and a non plump squidgy underbelly - (Hopefully)

We also had dummy runners all over the place, something we have not seen since 2014 which is an absolute basic of rugby league.

Hopefully a dominant pack will give us the energy for plenty of life in the attack in the opposition 20.

He hit the line so well with great pace. We played lovely rugby. Myler has lasted much longer than I thought & he has adapted his game.

We did get a lot of tries with kicks to the wing but also scored a lot from breaks from deep where we had supporting runners bursting through the middle, Myler, Atkins, Hodgson. Also Michael Monaghan was pretty good at making things happen inside the other team's 20. We didn't exactly play champagne rugby eg Saints under Millward or Cas in 2017 but we had a lot of ways to overrun teams who were generally backpedalling against our pack.

We did. The most potent Warrington attack threat I have seen since Tony Barrow's1986 side with Andy Gregory, Mark Robert, Mike Greg, Boyd, et al

What a team that was.

Pornography, along with the 11 and 12 sides

Yep, been 10 years of sad, slow decline.

Think you need to check the definition of “slow”,our decline this season has accelerated like one of those Higgs Boasen thingy mejigs.

Very true lol. Over the previous 9 years then it was slow.

Loved that team drinking with players in touchdown club that night was a memory i.ll never forget..top bunch of guys who were only happy to chat..great night

Gregory’s passes to Roberts in full flight were just poetry in motion.

Our greatest attacking team was in 2011 before Hodgson signed for us. Although he was truly a world class player. How in gods name we didn't win the GF between 2010-13 beggars belief.

Quote ="runningman29"Gregory’s passes to Roberts in full flight were just poetry in motion.'" The accuracy and timing of the pass was perfect, the line and pace of Roberts outstanding. Something I have never seen since. The defence never seemed to touch him. I'm sure we will be told how we have embellished it, but in my memory it was amazing. Ado that run around move we did, although this was Kelly and Bishop and Roberts didn't score. Gregory and Boyd. https://youtu.be/UD9z12CXSdY?t=551 Rugby League was better then.

EVERYONE who saw him play puts roberts in their all time wire second row.

Too right shame it ended with him getting injured..what a player and a thoroughly decent lad

This game had it all. Skill, pace, hard tackles, biff, local tribal rivalry, big crowd, crowd singing. Boyd vs Sorensen. Tell me 2022 Super League is better sporting entertainment. https://youtu.be/UD9z12CXSdY
