Phil Clarke should do the pitch/on pitch commentary, I'm sure he would be welcomed by the Salford players.

The funny thing is, our players are that bad that everyone wants them. Bibby Wigan Griffin Castleford Jones Hull FC Olpherts Castleford Lui Leeds Hastings Wigan Coach Gleeson Wasps, and no doubt there is a queue forming for the likes of Evalds and Watson........

Post edited, leave out the name calling. Thank you.

I don't see the problem. He's entitled to his opinion.
I don't necessarily agree with him but he's paid to say what he thinks, so he said it.

Everyone? What players were St Helens, Warrington, Hudds, Hull kr, Wakefield , London and Catalans interested in?

Funny how some people are allowed to post whatever they like on here to wind others up yet others are warned for pulling them up on it

Embarassing that the Mods seem to endorse that sort of behaviour as it gets the site hits and obviously puts money in the coffers. Remember when this site was about decent RL debate and not who could come out on top in "Top Trolls" ? I'll look forward to my ban now for speaking the truth.

Having an opinion that doesn't agree with yours isn't against the AUP.
Having multiple accounts isn't against the AUP.
Jumping on the poster, name calling and drifting the thread rather than simply ignoring an opinion you don't agree with is, as is criticising the moderation process.
It really is about time you learnt the art of ignoring

Strange comments from Clarke.
Most of the players at Salford have played at other SL or NRL clubs.
Most are signed to SL clubs for 2020.
His comments are therefore ridiculous.

Phil Clarke wore a turtle neck sweater on national television. 'Nuff said.

You would say that wouldn't you

I don't actually think he's far wrong, Salford have had an amazing season as a whole but I just don't think you can deny that on paper and removing "current" form a lot of the players are bang average and remove them from their current set up I think this would show.

I've said elsewhere that Watson deserves all the accolades because he has turned previously bang average players into good players. But even I wouldn't have said they are Championship level. Lower SL maybe.

Lower super league is a more apt description.
Put Hastings in any team and they'd improve.
Get Watson coaching them and they have a team that can challenge.

Clarke was paying Salford a compliment. However, if it draws some attention to the OP, why let facts get in the way of some social media attention.

Not sure the OP is one of those RL Fans attention seekers tbh.

Those players who've got Salford 80 minutes away from a GF may not agree with your sentiments either.

Whilst Watson is a cracking coach the players deserve massive credit for buying into his vision. I also find it amusing that Toronto players are all SL players playing in the Championship yet Salford players are the opposite?

The fact is that Salford are a perfect example of a TEAM. Some superstars , some grafters (with ability), some promising younger players, some *cast-offs", some "projects". Most of them had something to prove when Watto & Blease brought them in and boy have they done that. Throw a young, intelligent, ambitious coach into that mix and you've got potential dynamite.

The attention that Phil Clarkdouze's occasional controversial comment attracts only reflects how dull the other 99% of his output is.

I think Clarke was just trying to emphasise what a good job Watson has done at Salford, he says daft things at times, he’s human. As a neutral I hope it’s a great game tonight, and as Salford are the underdogs hope they can do it, as a previous poster has said, they have been a breath of fresh air.
