Every club, regardless of budget has the opportunity to blood, and retain their best young players. But some teams do it better than others. You don't need success to do so, and it irritates me people saying you need success for youth development, because it's just a lazy excuse imo.'"
I'm not essentially disagreeing with you, but you should in fairness also say that if you really are good at it and "develop" the best players who are actually amongst the best young players in the league, not just your club, but your team isn't one of the best teams in the league, then retaining many of the ambitious ones may be impossible.
This is not an argument against developing them, but all clubs who then lose them understand the frustration.

| Genuine question: How is Koukash doing with regard to marketing Salford on a local basis? We've all seen/heard/read things he's got into the national media and he's certainly raised the club's profile in that sense; but is he depending on that alone to attract a new audience or is he undertaking serious marketing at a local level as well?

But that's true of every team. The "big clubs" lose as many to aus/ RU as the "little teams" do to the "big clubs" - it's how you deal with it. I actually think part of developing youngsters now has to include building a certain culture within them, to keep them. There were rumours for years about the clique in the Leeds team, but if it helps them keep their best talent, why do they care?
It's a frustrating cycle for all at the moment, until teams are given teeth to defend their own products.

There are also other factors that can play a part.
Bradford would probably have retained L.Pryce and Peacock if they hadn't signed Iestyn Harris.

| I was born in Salford but many years ago moved to Rochdale. I work in Stockport
I feel the club is better known and that's a start: one RU fan told me when I started work here 7 years ago (almost to the day) that I was the first RL fan she had met who went to any game.
I also feel he's put the club onto a more 21st century footing so marketing success can be quickly followed up.
His use of tweets (OK sometimes overuse) and facebook fits what a lot of organisations are doing to market themselves.
For now: good, needs to progress and much is expected.

We did William thank you.
The money he (MK) invested - not promised by Mr Lamb - has begun to pay off.

yep...running at 2012 average attendances and having beaten 2 relegation favourites together with a team initially expected to avoid relegation only due to the other 2 teams you've beaten and Bradford......ripping up trees at Salford, ripping up trees....

| Dearie me - some bitterness it seems and the usual NZ bull. Firstly Cas brought 1500 and the paid crowd was 5,800. Unlike other clubs and regimes Salford tell the world for what it is. Easier getting in Fort Knox than the AJB.
You will see above I said `beginning`. I think we will get a lot better.

NZ Bull eh....
12% up on 2012 attendance averages......and after 6 rounds you had 6 points back then as well.
It may well get better for Salford, but the Dr wanted a 10k/12k strong army......you've had 2 of your biggest 4 draws at home already and attendances are 19% down from the opening game.

If they don't win 3 of the next 6 then watch the average drop even faster than it is already....16% since day 1.
