he was not switched on much when tomkins managed to squeeze a pass away before hitting the ground for him to be looking away speaking to other players, he was much improved when he came off the bench but i hope he does come good as salford are lacking anyone who can lead us round the park

Yeah, Bipolar.

The very nature of it must make it difficult for a sportsperson. The very nature of sport, and especially RL, is down to decision-making, confidence, morale, and mental toughness. Bipolar can really effect these things. Now I don't know the ins and outs of Smiths case, or how bad a sufferer he is with it, but for a professional athlete to be able to perform when at either end of the scale is very admirable.

I don't think it helps the situation when our fans are giving him pelters every time we concede a try.

Hale & Pace would be an improvement. They could do the Yorkshire Airlines gags to wind up the opposition!!

Koukash himself nay be a slight hinderence. Yes he's invested loads into the club and deserves respect etc, but is he putting too MUCH pressure on the team? You cannot just buy your way to the top and replacing that many players was always a massive risk unless you give them time. After all, you're not doing that bad and the league doesn't lie.

Never a truer word spoken Butcher, i have nothing but admiration for any one with bipolar managing to perform at this level.
