We get a decent backline., then lose them,cannot compete in the money stakes, becoming a nursery for the top teams

What planet have you been on. We bacame a nursey 30 years ago. And always will be until the comediens are removed.

Come on,Dantes,you cannot have it both ways.
You have repeatedly stated that the squad of players at Salford are not good enough.You blamed 'the comedians' (a pleasant euphemism,much nicer than the usual excoriation).
Now,when other Super League clubs show an interest in the players it is the fault of the same people

If the half-back wants to abandon being coached by Sean Long to be coached by an ex-prop,a coach who is so indecisive it is beyond belief,or a coach who has the wealthiest owner and has been a couple of years in post but is bottom of the Super League then I would have thought 'the comedians' cannot be held responsible.

If it is just money then you are the person who refuses to put any more money into the club...

Yes the comediens can be held responsible. They've made this club what it is today, it' can't be anybody else's wrong doing now can it.

Just remind us all what place we were in and what division we was playing in 30 years ago? I seem to recall watching an aging team in freefall and playing teams that don't exist anymore in front of 2000-2500 people at the Willows.

Would you say we were in a much stronger position then? It may seem like I'm defending the club all the time but you post some absolute cr*p!

Dantes Inferno:

It so easy to say I told you so, get your head out of the 70s & enter the real world.

Positive! Definition, confident, hopeful, providing encouragement. I think you could do with studying some of these words it might help!

Williams has tweeted that he knows nothing about moving on.

Untillthese so called players that are leaving for definite they are still players and I would wait till confirmed at moment they ain't made a decision yet depends on what the offer on table is. It is best to wait before assuming there leaving. Yeah it looks Likely for Matty smith but until contracts are signed before having dig at club.

I wouldn't be breaking the bank to keep hold of Smith, definitely not worth the six-figure amounts Widnes are apparently offering. I'd be disappointed if Gleeson goes though. Although his defence isn't the best, some of his attacking at times has been superb, Williams also.

Has Pally signed another contract?

I think he's got another year on his contract, but I could be wrong.

How many of these plaers you are losing are actually products of your own academy???

None of them as far as i am aware could be wrong though

I may be in the minority here but out of the OOC players it would be Gleeson who I would be trying the hardest to keep hold of. I think attacking wise he is class and creates a lot for his winger. I know defence isn't his strongest point but lets face it, it isn't the rest of the teams strong point either!! It looks inevitiable that Smith will go but I wouldn't go all out to keep him with the youngsters coming through. I'd be more than happy to give Williams a new long term deal but Gleeson is the one for me.

I agree about Gleeson as going forward he looks very dangerous and his offload is very good, though the numpty stood behind me on Friday did nothing but slate him for it even when created tries!!

The club needs to work on defense in general and Gleeson I think would benefit greatly if the club got a defensive coach for next season.
