Back to my original point, the rumour that MP has decided not to return grow stronger.

Training starts this coming Monday, and my man in the "know" informs me that Matt has still not returned from OZ...

I won't pretend to be alarmed as I simply don't know if this is the norm, but judging from my mates reaction it isn't



His predcessors (i'm informed) were present much earlier to organise whats what ( as you would expect )

I feel this is the last thing we Salford fans need or deserve after the last 5-6 year's of turmoil, and I think I speak for the majority when I say Matt is the most decent and possibly capable coach we've had to push the team in the right direction.

I'll keep everyone updated should I hear more.

His predcessor lived over here and may have turned up early but he did not appear to have organised anything in the past four years, MP may have put the wheels in motion before he left on his holidays, I am on half term at present and I thought I would do some planning for the next 6 weeks, only to find I had already done the stuff I needed during the summer, just forgot, it's called planning ahead, a lot of people do this.

Anyway MP's new "best friend" has said he will be here by the weekend.

If walshofski stalks him like last time and then goes for another beer with him and I dont get an invite I won't be happy

We want to encourage him to stay Bobby, not scare him off.

thats 2 new "best friends" or 3 with the optimist.

Ok so it looks like our recruitment is done, bar one or at a push two(hopefully a hooker or centre.
I think after last years splash out we have decided to coach the ones we have got, which will be a change after Mcrae just buying and not coaching.

think i would go with
Patten
Jodie
gleeson
Nero
willaims
Reg
Smith
james
wagga
boyle
ashurst
Macpherson
wild

bench
Jewit
feka
sneyd
Neal

I presume we will see some more of the academy lads which is good, hopefully more of the lads who graduated from u18's. Think owen and sneyd will be the main graduates although not sure if owen needs another year to bulk up, but as no hooker signed I presumed he will be pushed!
lets be positive this is a young team with a lot of potential!!and the right coach who knows!!!!

what about joel moon

Hoping for a couple of forwards and hooker

As there is a airline strike going on I oz at the mo if Matt doesn't turn up Monday I wouldn't be too concerned...

Any news yet ?

unless Parish has chartered his own flight or is rowing over I guess he's stuck where he is with the other 74,000 passengers...
