But they weren't good enough last year, Pulutua, Morley and Meli have been injury prone for the last couple of years and I don't see that improving with them being a year older.

Smith and Chase are a gamble.

If you pick up injuries you don't have the quality to challenge the 8

Smith and Chase. I am happy to take that gamble! We will make the top 6. Nice to see a little anti Salford stuff on these boards proves we are seen to be a "Player" again.

It proves that Salford fans discussing the odds for trophies this year has required a reality check in some eyes - it's not anti Salford particularly but your signings won't worry those at the very top.

Huddersfield Warrington Leeds Wigan saints and Catalans have stronger squads. I'd put Salford in the second tier which consists of the two hulls, Salford and probably a wildcard or either Widnes or cas (I can't quite tell I feel like one of them will click I'm just not sure who!)

That's not to say 7/8th isn't a massive achievement given where Salford was last year, but talking them up more will bring out the doubters

As the squads are now, London and Wakefield. But I expect Bradford to lose a few and maybe replace Wakey.

As for Salford. If you make the 6 I will be very surprised. If Koukash sticks around long term then I am sure you will become a force. He has done well with the squad considering how much needed doing but this is going to be a season of transition and if you scrape 8th it's a really good year. Next year and beyond are when you will start to compete.

Bradford and Hull FC

Top 6 ???
That means finding your feet with a totally new squad and the list of stars becoming a successful "team".
Plus, you will have to be better than either Wigan, Wire, Leeds, Saints, Huuds, Hull or Catalan.
There is no doubt that your first 17 will be very competitive but, there will be injuries and suspensions (Hock) along the way and from where you've been, top 8 would be a good season for you guys.

Cant see past Bradford and London.

Bradford are in a real mess, and seem unwilling to do what Wakey did to cut their cloth, so worse will come.

London i think will do far better in the championship, the fans wont see the team lose every week, which will bring more, they get a derby v Skolars, and they can grow more naturally.

Quote: Wadski "The reports of the AGM state that the league will reduce to 12 but I have not seen anywhere where it states specifically it will be the bottom two that are relegated. I just doubt they would commit to that, just in case a team they wanted to keep was at the bottom. If, as is being said, it's agreed and ratified then 2014 is going to be a tremendous year with everyone fighting for every point.'" I can't find the original quote, but Wood has stressed that playing performance will be the main factor taken into consideration when deciding who will play in the new SL. Referenced in this article: metro.co.uk/2013/07/22/superleag ... g-3890904/ A lot of people took that to mean bottom 2 go down, myself included. But actually there is some wriggle room for them to make a porridge of it. 'Main factor' is worrying me now. Whatever, the sport needs a resolution before SL 2014 kicks off in just over a month.

How nice to see the mentally challenged making a contribution.

Anti Salford?
Years of failure and blame culture at the Willows has left you with a persicution complex, seek help!

Widnes & Wakey for me

London and Wakey with Widnes just edging safety

I think you've pulled that figure out your backside.

The last report was that the club needed to save £400k, which they've set out to do.
