All jokeing aside sdo you think that if Ratchford has been called up (well deserved it is without doubt) that Smith would covert him? think if Ratchford was approached by Warrington the RFL would need to look at the conflicting interest of Smith being an SL coach and national coach and the influence he can have in players joining Warrington if the promise of greater national involvement is mooted to them.

Since Myler played for England and all the speculation regarding Warrington started he has not performed for Salford. This may be a complete coinidence and if you read my posts on the subject I have never actually said that Smith has tapped up anyone. There are however many people who have and this in anyones mind cannot have enhanced his reputation can it (deserved or not). My point is that if the conflict of interest is not there this specualtion cannot happen. I don't think this is rocket science. Obviously it is for some.

Ever the 'Optimist' here's one for you.

Maybe the players in question,just want coaching properly.

Didn't a certain Mr R Paul quote this at the last fans/players meeting.

Ok well here is a idea all these players who think they know a bit and and want to be coached properly put their medals they have won on the table and we'll compair it to what mcrae has won in the game .

That is what is wrong with our club at the core, winners breed winners, run with it and we'll see where we go, it seems some players are unhappy with some of his methods and just drag their feet and dont want to make it work.

Both Rachford and Myler have recieved international recognition with Mcrae in charge with a limited budget, we won promotion with a treble winning season, we beat both of the challenge cup finalists, leeds away, hull away and also got a healthy amount of points which would have been more had we won say with a bit more luck half we lost by 6 or less.

This club is in a position where it could sky rocket into the playoffs easily, its just down to the attitude of each individual player and what they are willing to do to achieve.

I've not got the stats on me but im sure somebody has what was harrisons record during this period of his reign 2 1/2 years in, win/loss ratio points, position and games we lost by less than 6 was it simular or better than mcraes now?

I think Robbie Paul wins that contest hands down.

end of the day who cares if warrington, smith , myler , offiah etc have done wrong whats done is done.

myler is gone we got some money for him which we can use to strenghten up are departing team which is in need of more than out of contract players and mylers money will help us more now. to raise us to the next level.

you want players who love to play for salford myler lost interest end off.
