Quote: Bigpev " are these the same lazy players that have let us down on many occasions, at least he went to the gym.
perhaps he will change things, because if he doesn't then Salford will be finished after 3 years.'"


Change things when he doesnt want to be there and isnt present at training - no there not the lazy players you refer to - they wernt slagging him off just telling me how he's been acting and what he's been doing since he got back.

Why is everybody so misguided - that MP is the man to turn us around ! I'm not saying he cant but everyone bases there oppinion on the fact that he has "balls" and "speaks the truth" because he came out and annilhated the club from top to bottom ? his exact words when he'd finished slating the club were "Salford want me to do a Job..and I want to do a job..but those jobs are 2 completely different thing"

Players have told me he's annoyed he now has to make a go of the players he has not the players he wanted to bring in.. when he was told he would be able to change the squad completely. ! again i'm not saying thats right but thats what's happening.

Some genuine, level headed players basically think he's 3 sheets to the wind, has poor man management and general wild behaviour. How are we going to build a good team when the vast majority of players feel this way?

I'm not saying dont back the coach but people need to open there eye's theres allot going on behind closed doors that people dont realise.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Quote: Red666 "Good marketing i agree, but it's probably just as much to do with the inability due to prohibitive cost of say, NFL fans, being able to follow their team away from home during the season. Fans are likely to go watch the next best alternative (bit like Leigh fans going to watch Salford at home whilst Leigh are away etc)'"


No it's more likely that people ( mostly women ) have realised that American Football is a load of bollox , and are taking their kids to watch something resembling a real sport , one where you don't have to be a freak of nature to actually play it

Plus it is still from their own town/city , unlike your Leigh , Salford analogy , perhaps if Leigh still had a semi pro football club playing at the stadium that was actually built for it , people would have been going to watch them

You lot will be okay anyway , you'll be able to watch Sale next winter icon_lol.gif

Salford RLFC Folly ARLFC Good john wilky last looked out on the pitch at salford. when the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even brightly played the lads that night though the frost was cruelllll when poor swinton scored a try we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg



According to Mr Pete Scholes, Simms is the cancer the cancer in club and he needs taking out by the throat. That view is not just from the fans, but from players and coaching staff alike past and present. He's an Aussie who sponges of the club. Are we happy to take that? Because from where i'm standing it seems like we're happy, Mr no bad word against him Wilkinson is always right, forget about about the countless head coaches we've had they're all .

I predict we will not be here in 3 years, we'll be gone. Anyone who thinks different are mugs. In this part of the world no one cares about RL never mind sh*t RL. We only have ourselves to blame.rl]RIP SALFORD RLFCrl]

PS - Our kids Simms and Tarry out banner was spot on.

American Football is still by far and away the most popular sport viewer/attendance/participation wise in the US. Are you suggesting then that these numbers are falling? is there any evidence of that?

Perhaps using Leigh and Salford as examples wasn't the best, even though i'm sure there have been Leigh fans on here who mention they attend our games on occasion. But seeing as you mention same town/city, maybe mentioning Leigh and Wigan would be more appropriate icon_lol.gif

College football has a bigger spectator base in the States than NFL, from speaking to my ex in-laws over there many people feel less and less affiliation to the NFL teams because the owners are more interested in profits than the fans where as college football is more a community thing.

Yes but in 20 years time football will have overtaken it
