Salford are Hull's competition for the top 8... Like they would even consider it.
Salford are getting what they deserve for foul play. I hope they lose out on the top 8.

Don't know why I get drawn into these things but can't help myself when people just make things up to suit their agenda.

If people wanted to check they would see we have 16 or 17 players missing for Friday, 3 of whom are banned.

We have one half back and no hookers available, have brought 3 in on loan, have used all the players we feel are able to step up from the 19s (who are getting caned every week) other than those on loan that can't be recalled and we've re-registered Ian Watson. People can argue that we should have invested in youth but the idea that doing so means we would have a strong u19s after 18 months of the Doc being in charge in nonsense. He has invested heavily in the youth set up and Harris has transformed the way the u19s and 1st team work together but the results will be a few years down the line (except for the players we have already promoted)

Puletua was taken off our overseas register so can't play or we would be over-quota. The club took the decision to use quota places elsewhere and who's to say that, given his ageing dodgy knees, TP wouldn't be on the injured list if he was still eligible. Nothing against TP, he was good for us last year but the club decided to use the overseas spaces differently. Shame for him but it happens. If he's owed money he should be paid it

Yes Saints, Wigan and Leeds would cope much better than us and probably Warrington. Don't think any others would though

Don't see a problem in asking. I'm sure we expected a 'No' which is what we have got and no Salford fan has a problem with

Don't really see a problem with it being tweeted either. One of the main complaints in the past has been about fans being kept in the dark about what goes on at their clubs. I would much rather have a situation where 'too much' is known than too little

Anyway crack on

Seems like Salford need a better academy rather than worrying about star signings and marquee players...

Giants might offer to loan them Brett Ferres ?

I bet there are some amature RL players who would die to play for Salford?

Cue the 'doctor' demanding a new rule being brought in where clubs can postpone games if they have a rich enough owner ! ....they have suspensions on top of their injuries, tough e they're players should behave better on the field then they wouldn't have as many to find ...you reap what you sow, get on with it !!!

The request is almost as pathetic as salford's attendances

He is a Rovers fan, so blithe ignorance and stupidity is a prerequisite

Big fan of the Dr, but its what happens when you have bought headlines, and not depth.... Should have allowed Nobby more time to build from the bottom....

Also, nice to see another club receiving undeserved ire for a change...

Edited for accuracy

Salford making themselves look daft again. That club desperately needs to be run in a more professional fashion.

Getting into financial and legal disputes with your players and then admitting you can't fulfil your fixtures will put off even average players from going to Salford.

did m/boro in football do this they got fined n lost points n also when down as well because of this i think

Well they'd be unavailable too in that case.

He has bought depth. We have the strongest squad we've ever had (not the strongest of competition!). We have 17 players out. 8 or 10 out, even 12 we could have coped with. We had 14 out yesterday and list to last year's 2nd place team by 2 points. But 17? That leaves us with 13 plus a couple on loan.

Our older 19s are either already on the squad and playing or on long term loans. Not sure about bringing them back. That might be one option. not sure the fans of the clubs they're on loan to would be pleased and I guess it would cost us a few grand. But it might be an option

Our u19s has been revamped to focus on developing younger players so are mostly 16 or 17. I believe that's the long term thinking that most people are telling us we should be doing

As fir the ire, we certainly seems to be the marmite team of the year!

Very good
