The club needs a cheating, dirty coach of the like never seen before. We currently adopt a style which is ever so compliant with the rules and regulations but which referees don't seem to recognise.

We'd say that Salford have consistently played by the rules i.e. no forward passes (barring the one in the Hull FC game), no holding down, no deliberate high shots, no offside, no taking out the in-play kicker etc,.

Let's have a coach who treats the rules like all the other more successful coaches and makes Salford a more competitive team!

What was it Alec Murphy used to say " Salford will never win anything because they are too nice" or words to that effect!!!

But Stef is not a centre,Winger or whichever position McRae decides to put him into next.
You do not see him shifting Smith around do you ?
Stef is a stand off and should be kept there.

Having read your post Smithy68, I am not sure what you are saying.

McCrae not playing young players? Steff as prop (sorry -age showing: front-row) would be better? Insulting people makes your case stronger?

Err, no.

Has made more yards and offloads than any other salford player this season which is what you want in your front row, true he hasnt skittled a defence but with our round the ruck play and support play sometimes so pedestrian i cant reaily see see the point in sending in a Kamakazi runner just to get swallowed up by the defence and waist a tackle.

Korki was a perfect example of this, when other teams figured out he was our go to man to get big yards they buit a wall of big forwards infrount of him and he just kept running into it, without a bit of cunning or guile around the ruck it becomes worthless, put cashmere and korki in the same team with better service around the ruck then we'd be in business imo.

id rather get more 2nd phase ball from an offload to give the likes of smith and henry a broken defence to cause chaos in .

In the off season i hope we bring in another fairy like cashmere replacing stapo or big phil or both, id like a forward who could skittle a defence to come of the bench who is young and willing to progress here at the willows as well would certainly give other teams more to think about when defending against us.
