rlQuite a lot of them apparently.rl

While this article may turn out to be the accusations of a bitter ex-employee, would anyone be totally surprised if the previous regime had let these players slip through our fingers?

It'd be more credible to read a list of every 'reject', good and bad.

Do we know who's doing scouting for us now?

There was also a comment on twitter that's not in the article saying we ruled out making an offer for 'Haven winger Craig Calvert because he played with his socks rolled down.

The only consolation really is that even if we would have signed him and he had gone on to perform like he has done, it's likely we would have lost him when things went belly up before last season!

Thanks to that article, I know who still wishes they were.

On a similar vein could we try and sign Broughton back on loan, doesn't really seem to be getting any sort of look in at Huddersfield and I'd love to see him play outside S'au.

What an absolutely self righteous load of waffle that article is. I was actually a bit embarrassed reading it.

Don't see the point in the article full stop, we probably never had the money any way..why bring the negatives back when we are suppose too be on new positive era....

Slow News Day ??
sounds a bit ' told You So '
It doesn't really matter if Robinson paraded Tomkins etc past the old Salford board , they would have all been sold or left prior to going belly up.

When we were at the Willows, hardly a month went past without a complaining letter in one of the RL papers from Mrs Robinson at the poor take-up by the club of what her hubby had found. These became especially vitriolic if we signed someone from Aus/NZ. The comments became a bit staid after a while: I could glance to know what was being said as it was the same old story.

I had hoped that this had ended. There are players I am aware we missed out and others I wish we had missed out on. C'est la vie.

While possibly true the article reads like a self-righteous rant by someone who thinks they know it all. Can't really think what the article is trying to achieve...

Irrelevant History

This fella Robinson was brought in by his mate Phil Vievers and he stitched the club up with some absolute garbage signings. Interestingly he never mentioned to Barker all those terrible signings made on his recommendation. He's just bitter and wants to create some negativity because we terminated his services last year. There was also a story doing the rounds last year that Robinson and Alan Hunte didn't exactly see eye to eye, which explains his predictable criticism of Salford's junior development to Neil Barker.

All scouts are the same, they dine out on a player that makes it big but conveniently forgot to mention the hundreds of failures who don't make the grade.

As for Charnley there is no guarantee he would have developed as well at Salford. At Wigan playing outside Tomkins must have been a dream and really helped him to grow in confidence and establish himself.

Just one question. What do you think inspires Barker to write such negative rubbish when the club are trying hard to build some real positivity? It's like Barker is trying to impersonate Jim Bowen on Bullseye, now look what you could have won.
