Great few years with Watson, getting the best out of players other clubs don’t want but they offer the sport nothing long term. Don’t get me wrong I like and respect the team (coach and players) but the club is a joke.
That tweet mocking Warrington for finally beating them is embarrassing. This is professional sport, and you are laughing at another team because you forfeited a game.
You’d think they’d be ashamed.
Should be fined a % of their sky money.'"
Wow do you need any help getting your toys back in your pram ? the fact you think it's ok for us to play a game every 3.8 days says more about you, you should be ashamed. |

Bore off you tool. Every other club is getting maximum support off the RFL during COVID and have been allowed to reschedule games despite multiple outbreaks at certain clubs. Salford haveu been penalised for keeping (pretty much all) their players COVID free by having to play a stupid amount of games in a short time. As a result they've picked up injuries and player welfare must come first.
As for the tweet.... weren't Wire the instigators of the #bantz a while back (can't remember the specifics but they defo rubbed a number of people up the wrong way)? If you can't take it, don't dish it out, simples.
You're talking out of your "Down Under" Bruce.  |

Two walk-overs for Catalans (Saints & HKR) would see them to the requisite 15 games, a win %age of 67 and a probable play-off place!

So much for the loyalty he swore on The Beeb a couple of weeks ago. Then again "This is the place for me for now" could just have meant "For the next fortnight."
Any news from Humberside? |

When you consider that Salford could have just loaned a team from Oldham or Rochdale [uit does seem quite bizarre.

I understand why Salford have done this from a player welfare perspective. However Ian Blease rubbed me the wrong way with his calls for a draft system.
Salford Providing nothing then asking for an equal share because it is "fair" when in fact them getting nothing would be actually be "fair". Given that, 2020 is messed up and Salford [ushould not be punished for what are freak circumstances[/u.'"

My take is this in nothing to do with COVID (which gets blamed for all sorts of things). The headline for the link contains the words "Financial" and "Failure" IIRC when Koukash left he did the club a massive favour by trying to leave them in the best financial position he could. He's now severed all ties as I understand it.
Ian Watson showed equal loyalty and gave the club two major Final appearances. He's now severed his ties and owes the club nothing.
To me Salford are now sitting in the financial mire, and as it never rains but it pours sometimes one can only think that the club are at a crossroads where their lack of funding is set to catch up with them. That the punishment was no punishment at all also signals sympathy from the game itself.
Can you blame Ian Blease asking for a draft system when it is now likely Salford players who came to play for Watson, who rescued a few careers and gave some failing players a boost and a greater sense of self worth, will start to slowly walk away??
It's astonishing Salford were let off the punishment for seven years, unless the game were treating them with kid gloves, knowing how close to the edge they were, and perhaps giving them time to find an owner. What has happened this last two years is Salford have been great on the pitch, but nobody of any wealth has come in to buy them. So it's time to apply the "non" punishment and let the club sink or swim.
As per other threads Mr. Sawyer & Mr. Wood would be happy to come into Superleague as would Mr. Beaumont. Watsons fairy tale run was great but Superleague needs the biggest and best backed clubs to be in there....... |
