According to the CBI genuine medical reasons are the biggest cause of absenteeism at 87.5%

I can't fault HH for that but isn't that every players duty to their club? Anyway I haven't criticised him myself but I'm not going to jump to the defence of a lad that:-

1. Doesn't want to play for Salford anymore.
2. Couldn't resist making a comment to the media about having the last laugh against the club I support.

Have we not been laughed at enough over the past two years?

corrected it for you.

I disagree. Nobody was laughing at Salford when we were playing in county cup finals or getting to three challenge cup semi's against all the odds. OK granted we have never had a champion side in that period but I always felt we had an honest team and we punched above our weight. (For a city that's not really endorsed RL in big numbers since the 1930's and late 60's for 2-3 years) You only have to look at the decline of clubs like Oldham, Swinton, Rochdale and Leigh over the past few decades to appreciate we did better than similar local clubs. I also think supporters of other clubs didn't have the same dislike for us like some do now. A lot of people simply want Salford to fail and to laugh at us because of all the money spent recently.
