Whoosh!

At no time did I admit to being an imbecile. That is why "this imbecile" was in quotes. Your comprehension of the English language leaves a lot to be desired.

Justin Holbrook is a gentleman and a great coach of rugby league players. His success this year with St Helens has been noted around the world, and has rightly earned him a Head Coach appointment in the NRL, the greatest rugby league competition in the world. Justin Holbrook surely deserves the title of coach of the year, especially since St Helens are near certainties to win the Grand Final at Old Trafford -- a sporting event that Ian Watson's Salford has no chance of attending.

I do realise this. It was a little joke, Jean. You see, because everyone on here thinks you are ACTUALLY an imbecile, it resonates with them and gives them a chuckle.

Do you have a job Jeanette? Genuinely, I'm curious, as it appears you have major social issues which will impact your ability to build relationships in the real world.

Traffic warden perhaps?

Btw, top 5 is more than satisfactory for a team of "also rans", anything else will be a massive bonus.

PS. "Astute analyst"? Inept Anal waffler more like.

Didn't Price say in his post match interview that Wire only returned to training on Wednesday after their CC win? By my reckoning that's a full 4 days after Wembley. Whilst I appreciate players should celebrate success (although as a Salford fan I have no concept of what success actually is ) isn't it unprofessional to spend Sat/Sun/Mon on the pi$$ (assuming that Tuesday was a "recovery" day) and then turn up for one training session before an important league game?

For such a "huge", professionally run club as Wire that's pretty amateur.

Yes. I am a Professor in[i La Faculté d’Éducation[/i at the University of Montpellier, [iSite de Carcassonne[/i.

What about yourself?

Wow, I truly am in exalted company. *ss*

Self-employed me Jeanie-Weanie and extremely happy about that.

So which stand do you frequent at Le Stade Gilbert-Brutus then? I'd love to but you a pint sometime and have you impart some of your Rugby League "wisdom"....

Well, nobody can accuse you of underselling yourself, can they.

As for Salford, having been tipped to struggle this season and having traded one of their best players for "fatty" Lolohia, they are going great guns.
As for making the GF, probably not but, they have just beaten the side currently ranked 2nd in the comp and good luck to them.

True, but you would have thought that coming in for treatment/massage/cryotherapy would be preferable given the (ridiculously) short turn around?

Childish spats aside - Salford are great to watch when they tidy up their game; some of their second half tries were outstanding RL - accurate, silky skills and done at tremendous speed. Ian Watson deserves great credit for what he's achieved with them this year, in difficult circumstances.
