think salford will be better than hull kr this season they wernt much worse than them last season

I think tomorrow brings the chance of bragging rights and very little else. Will be a good barometer to play against a big pack to see how we go, still think we're a bit light in the backs though and it's teams like Wire who will expose this.

Are the club going to do the match day coverage thing again? In hospital and it would hekp pass the time if they were.

I can see where Redrum is coming from Butcher. Yes I appreciate your point about where we finished 2013 and that we haven’t played a game and won anything yet. However, tell me any supporter who wouldn’t want to see an investment on this scale in their team and a wealthy new owner making some pretty bold promises about the future?

Personally If The Doc had taken over at Widnes or say Wakefield and spent was he's spent I'd be feeling a little envious.

Personally, no. But each to their own I suppose.

I just feel it's a little early to say things like envy or jealousy, regardless of how much has been invested. It's really exciting as a Salford fan but until, maybe, half way through this coming season we have no real idea where we are heading yet. All the investment could come to nothing and we may not gel and finish fighting for our lives. People are not going to be envious of that. Equally we could end up the opposite.

I only see people being envious if we achieve, as it's easy to put a great team together on paper, it's another thing for that team to succeed. That's just me though. I can't say I've ever felt envious of other sides. Envious of their ability to succeed maybe but that's it.

Butcher I don't think envy or jealousy is solely related to achievement. It can also be related to other things like money, possessions and other material things.

Go back to 1970's when we had an under achieving team of superstars, many resented us then simply because of the big cheque book.

I realise that. It was just my take on it.

I don't think anyone resents us based on the fact we have a somewhat secure future and a wealthy backer. Most people, including the ones who take a swipe at Marwan think it's great for the game. Some may wish something similar would happen for their sides but that's not envy, just wishful thinking. I just think some people jump on the 'envy' or 'jealous' bus when they find something disagreeable as I have yet to see anyone say they are jealous or envious of us yet.
