I honestly dont think Harris will see the season out as coach and i thought that prior to last night. I expected to lose last night and at Warrington but thought we might be competetive which we were at Wire but not last night. Something about last nights result has really hurt. Ive seen plenty of those games over 30 years but the manner of defeat was very hard to take. Dr K has some big decisions to make over the next few games and only wins will do for Harris to keep his job. all in all not the start to a season we needed.

I've thought for a long time we'd end up with Tim Sheens as our coach, the Aussies only play one game this year so you'd think it the perfect time too approach him.

Let’s take how Salford are playing out of it for a moment.

Before the season started, there was a good chance that we were going to lose three out of our first four matches, whether they were close games or not. However, Harris cannot afford to go 0–4. Looking at the par points total after 23 matches for 8th position, Salford would likely need to win half ±1 of their remaining games.

But nobody wants to finish 8th. Sure you secure a place in next year’s Super League, but you’re likely to be on the wrong end of results for the remainder of the season. Basically, if you’re out of the cup – season over.

So you need to be looking at 6th. Looking at par again, a 0–4 start to the year possibly means Salford need to go 12–7, 13–6 for the remainder of the fixtures. That is a tough ask for any club outside the top two or three.

So Harris will be doing well to survive if Salford don’t get a win in the next two matches.

Good summary of the position - but its a position that faces any coach not just Harris!!

True. Although not many with a club that has spent up to the cap.

If he'd had been any good, surely Wigan would have tried to keep him.

Fair point. There was a diplomatic response from Wane when Harris announced he was leaving. If Wane is being diplomatic you can assume he is not too upset.

Wane was more than happy to see the back of Harris, the bloke has an awful reputation from all those whom he has previously worked with.

That said, we can only base him on what we've seen from him at Salford to date and that generally has been an improvement to what we were seeing under Noble yet still a constant inability to win or at least perform in games where the team are expected to do well such as Wigan and Wakefield away last season (total capitulations) and St Helens last night. All of these games came off impressive performances in the week(s) previous.

Clearly there is an issue in there somewhere.

The team go out with a game plan, that have been working on all pre season. Somehow nobody seems to be playing to it.
I don't believe Fages and Chase doing drop offs to our forwards running back into the middle, where the wall of the defence of the opposition forwards are. Saints must of lapped that up. Ten minutes to go we were still doing it, it hadn't worked all night.
30 points down the game lost they might of well thrown the ball about
All this sack the coach rubbish, I didn't see Harris miss any tackles, the coach has to be given a chance

Meant too mention this, said on Saturday we were doing it too regularly. I do hope that this isn't all because Dobson is not as a creative a scrum halve as you'll find. We have pace out wide so why not get the bal there as quickly as possible.

Regarding Kevin Locke been picked last night. I'm sure I have read or heard somewhere Harris stating that Locke said to him he was fit to play. Now correct me if i'm wrong but shouldn't a physio have made that decision after a rigorous warm-up before the match?
