Re: Salford
New coach, 10 (I think) new players and 3 fixtures to start against the best team in the comp (Saints), a team expected by most to be top 3/4 (Hull) and a team we always get beat by (and usually hammered) away from home (they've also not lost a game between them yet). Whilst the performances haven't been great there are mitigating circumstances. Last year we won 1 out of the first 7 and were every bit as toothless in attack, yet we ended up having a decent season overall.
I'm yet to start pressing the panic button yet as it will take Marshall time to know his best team. The spine is a bit of a concern though as Escare had a 'mare at the weekend and Brown looks like it's one season too far.
Pack wise and back wise we're fine though and I think a win on Friday against Leigh (which won't be easy) could be the kick-start we need.

As opposed to Saints Hull and Catalans away much easier eh ?????
Don't worry about us fella we'll be just fine.

Well actually your performance against Wigan just made me think even more strongly that you would go down. To put in so much effort like you did and still lose an 18 point lead against a badly misfiring team really didn't bode well.

Yeah right, you mean with key players missing from Leigh as well? I think you need to see what's actually going on before you commit yourself to posting trash.

I said Wigan were misfiring in that game, I never mentioned their injuries. Yeah Leigh had some players missing, so what? Every team has injuries.
As I said earlier, if you stay up I will congratulate you on doing so, but I don't think you will. I don't know why that really seems to bother you.

Oh i see, so if a team is misfiring it means the opposition is a dead cert for relegation? I'm lost.

I don't know why I am bothering to go round in circles here, but before a ball was kicked I predicted with confidence that Leigh would get relegated. Your performances against Wigan and Warrington didn't do anything to make me doubt that prediction. You have since lost comprehensively to a Huddersfield side that so far have been really disappointing. Then lost heavily to a decent (but not world beating) Castleford.
You may prove me wrong and survive. Either way it doesn't really bother me. Its just my prediction on a forum where the whole point is to give your opinion on rugby league matters.

Honestly mate I wish you all the best. Its always good to see different teams doing well and if you do stay up and grow as a club then that's great. But you really shouldn't take other people's opinions so seriously, it's a forum, it really doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong.

Well thanks mate, and likewise but, you based your opinion on 2 games you saw which i thought was a little harsh. Anyway, we move on now, and let's see how it pans out over the next few weeks.

In my defence my opinion wasn't solely based on those two performances. Through no fault of your own you were admitted to super league with very little time in which to build a competitive squad. You were always going to be most peoples favourites to go straight back down. If we are just purely looking at performances so far then I think Salford have been worse, but I also think they have more quality in their squad and are more likely to come good. This weekend will be interesting because even at this early stage it looks like a very important fixture.
But all the best for the season. Its a shame that Hull's trip to your place comes just before the lockdown is due to end. I've been there for an England game but I've never seen Hull play at the LSV.

But you did base it on what you saw. That's all.
