| Glad we don't bother with the games at Christmas anymore, waste of time.
Another RL tradition gone down the toilet but like I said they are not worth it now, just let us all come back fully refreshed in the New Year, starting to get the itch now.

Then I think you should be wondering why your club relies so much on overseas players. In fact, when you lump in Nero as well, 8 players from overseas is absolutely fecking ridiculous, if you ask me. We've only got one overseas player in Robbie Paul, and even he doesn't count on the quota!

You could say that about every team in every sport in England my friend.

agree about that, why do SL teams have so many overseas players then complain about england not being able to do well. thought they were supposed to be using more UK players these days.

But to the extent of nearly half of your matchday squad? I don't think so. We didn't even have a Yorkshireman in our team yesterday, never mind players from overseas!

Thats what astonished me when some SL fans praised Salfords 2011 recruitment as a great sign of what franchising can achieve... I feel it is the opposite?

| The Leigh fans make me laugh - it is obvious they were all in The Centurion having some festive beer both before and after match - No way will they win the league by 10 points - this statement is a joke and like others have said will haunt them through the season. IMO they will be no better than last year and quite possibly worst as they are have the hardest start to the campaign compared to all the other pretenders to our crown. If it wasn't for their Dual Regs they would of been no where near as was obvious when the Dual Regs were called back to the promised land. Come on Lads please get real !!!!

Look at the FA Premier League mate every team in that league has more than half of their squads filled with foreigners, Salford are just doing what everyone else does, the old saying goes (if you can't beat em join em)

Hang on, hang on! It's only Frank who's suggesting we'll be anywhere near the title, and the Three Pigeons annual accounts will confirm he likes a drink or two
No wonder we can't anywhere near the Aussies (and in the same vein why the England football team are bobbins).

No the reason we can't get near the Aussies is due to RL being one of their national sports also their player pool is like a drop in the ocean compared to England's.
Anyway RL's international game is Dead i couldn't give a toss if england beat the aussies or not.

Fair play and don't get me wrong it is what's best for the fans currently and should get a good strong side out on the park BUT you also can't deny it will damage the international game by putting some of your player development on hold to play these imports? Each club to their own but that's a fact.
Also it was only a season or two a go that Salford were saying how great they were playing all these kids and helping develop the British game yet as soon as some money free's up it goes out the window! As I say, each to there own and it will benefit the club short term but long term perhaps not and certainly not for our youngsters.
