Hi Folks!
good to be back


The end of July is looking to be decision time for an awful lot :-

26th July - Franchise awarded for 2012-2014
28th July - Possible arrival of Parish
29th July -Leeds home game ( Depending on performances against the Hulls ) a win is essential to keep top 8 hopes alive .

the Ratchford saga continues and todays MEN ' speculates ' he will delay his future until the new coach arrives

[iWHAT A MONTH THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR THE REDS...[/i

What are peoples gut feeling about the Licence for next season, with Widnes coming up 1 SL club will be relegated, With the improvements on the pitch and the new Stadium I just can't imagine that Salford would be in any danger..

Halifax have also applied for a franchise, so if they are successful 2 of the current SL clubs will lose their licences. Everyone thinks that Wakefield are favourites for the drop but if another team went with them Salford are in the mix.

With all the fuss that JW went to, to get the right Coach. The Stadium well into the building phase, and a strong financial aspect I can't see us being in the mix. I'm thinking that 1 up, 1 down will be the end of the discussion, even though bringing Fax into it would be beneficial. Who knows what craziness the RFL might come out with?

don't be surprised if no current SL club loses their licence

I'm a tad nervous about the franchise me. Despite the new stadium being well under way, and the new coach etc, you just never know what the RFL are going to do. I won't be happy until we've been announced on franchise day.

Me too, you never know what the RFL will do next and I'm bricking it if I'm being honest!!

I don't think Halifax can get into Super League now. The descision between the lower division clubs has been settled with Widnes coming up.

They are still considering Halifax. Whether they have any intention of putting them in is another matter.
