I think "impose his thoughts" is a tad harsh - nobody has to read or listen, it's not compulsory!

FWIW as another Salford fan I disagree completely with the OP. All the clubs know what's required over the Easter period and need to prepare accordingly. As it happens we had a pretty good pair of results beating Hudds & Wigan

I listened to (and believed) Iestyn Harris when he said that in his whole career he's never seen such a set of injuries within a squad over such a short time. However the killer for us really has been the suspensions which somewhat undermine the arguments from our side.

Quote: Him "And Workington got hammered in 4 of those 7 games. Maybe if they'd had more time to prepare and recover they'd have put in better performances.

There's a legitimate point around recovery times between games, especially at the top level where the impacts and number of them are significantly higher and so take longer to recover from. 5 days of recovery-based training is taken as the minimum needed to recover from a game now. Workington should moan about having to play that many games in a short period, but you can possibly get away with it at part time level, you can't at SL.

But players and clubs can do it as a one-off in the season, and as I said, it requires something different from the club, the players and the coaches to manage that period. Leeds did well during that period but probably suffered after it from the effort put in during the Easter period. That's why it's good, it adds something different to the league. But it can't be done more than once or twice at the top level or you put player safety at risk.'"


Absolutely, asking the players to play two games in four days several times a season would be too much. But the Easter calendar has evolved to be an ordeal, a test of squads and coaching abilities and I like it.

There are genuine questions about the legitimacy of the second game of the weekend as there are often sub-par performances. Should a paying crowd be subjected to two teams that aren't capable of putting 100% in?

You have all missed the point our games is faster, harder then it as ever been.
It is not just players in the last year at Salford I have seen two refs going off injured, in the other 38 years watching the game i only think this happened once.

We are not the only club to have injuries, something as to change, for the good of the game.

In the NRL over the next 3 months there will be 34 players who will back up 4 days after SoO and no disrespect to SL, but the intensity of an Origin game is far greater. If the NRL, which is the largest domestic Rugby Comp in the world and the pinnacle of our sport don't see it as a problem, then a tin-pot club with a 4k attendance average and a gobby owner have no chance.

You've been watching the game for 38 years? Your opening email reads like a 12 year old.

I'm a Salford fan (probably of the same age), we did rather well at Easter so don't know why you think that's a problem and as this has been the norm since year dot it seems a little weird that you should choose our most successful Easter in living memory to spout about it. We have been excellent this year (better than in a very, very long time) and we have been very unlucky with injuries and not unlucky by the stupidity of some of our players committing foul acts that have got big bans.

Best that you don't post as your sort of thoughts are the reason we have been getting bashed on the forum.

There is of course the chance you aren't a Salford fan, maybe a troll with little better to do that stir. I would prefer that because if you are a Salford fan you really don't do us any favours with your posts.
