Is McRae a close friend of steve simms? I only ask as I think Salford have neede a new coach for a while, McRAe was great with the Saints, but seems to have slipped eversince. Noble would be a brilliant replacement.

I hope Saford have a good season and this is only a setback, it would be great to see them playing to full houses in the new Stadium, but results will determine that i guess

Defensively Salford dont have a clue.

On paper they have some good players and should be competitive against Saints, however they were utterly shambolic.

Getting in Noble would be a good move as he is a far better coach than Mcrae, who lets be honest got sacked from Saints after they finished 7th in the league despite being packed with stars. He also was sacked from his Souths job after they failed to offer anything in the NRL. Souths have never looked back.

I think Salford, though especially Hull with the hopeless Agar are in danger of vastly underperforming.

I defy anyone to make a silk purse out of a sows ear!!!

Don't know how he went at saints so I can't say anything, but I agree 100% about Souths.

Before he coached in England he was an assistant at the raiders in Canberra, the raiders have been crap since the SL war in 1996.

I like Salford a lot, but they need to get rid of the dead wood, and the dead wood is the coach.

Sorry to the coach for saying that, but I think he'd be better helping eddie and stevo out.

You're right, we all love Salford. I love the place, accent, stadium and team.

I don't really understand why they got rid of Harrison. Yeah, they had a few bad results after doing so well, but it didn't make him a failure.

They can have the inept idiot we have in Agar.

Still not prepared to admit the players are inept as well!!

Yes the players do need to take some of the blame but Agars selections and bench policy are baffling at times...he is scared for the players to be expansive.....over coaches got the sack for a lot less and had a better win ratio than agar.

Thank you for your honesty.

It's the coaches job to get the best out of the players.

If someone like Richard Agar was in charge of the Kangaroos, England would stuff them.
