| Personally I am sick and tired of the warblings of many of our so called fans on this forum. They know who they are.
Sure I may well be in a minority on here but for me this season has been the best for over 10 years. I have seen attacking RL of the highest class, some very skilful play from an enterprising back line, some outstanding tries, individual brilliance and terrific wins against such as Warrington, Hull, Catalans, Huddersfield, Bradford & HKR ALL of who had a Salary Cap maybe TWICE as much as ours.
We have done this too without two of our most expensive signings - McPherson & Moon who have been out for nigh on half the season.
The coaching is there for all to see & on top of this we have an Under 20s team showing remarkable ability under the guidance of Alan Hunte and I can assure you that there are some real gems in that side for the future.
The financial situation has been well chronicled & we are playing at the behest of the Directors and I for one would totally understand if they decided enough was enough & it was time for them to walk away.
They do their job without pay, spending long hours in trying to succeed for OUR pleasure. In addition the financial perils inherent in all clubs running at a BIG loss & the continued bitterness & bile thrown at them by some on here will be surely pushing them ever more certainly to the precipice.
We really dont know when we are doing well. We are fighting well above our weight and we are currently still above teams who have spent far more than us in recruitment.
So for all the Barrack Room Lawyers we have on here such as Dante, Programme Thrower, Eccles, Lance & others - consider this - if you get your wish and JAW packs in - there will be NO club to support. So get those chips off your shoulders and get behind the club for once - end the bitterness - and work to the future or we will only have Sale to watch in the next few years.

| If you are over achieving on full cap, what does the future hold for you?

| Sorry. You are full cap.
This is why you are approaching dire straights and why players are being offloaded now.
Without the crowds to support the spending and without success to match the outlay on the squad...you are getting the picture, aren't you?
Underachieving massively.

I think you are talking complete cobblers

| What is it we have achieved. If this year is an achievement then that's worrying we have no defence at times we have played good rugby this year. So what will are achievement be next year not to get the wooden spoon as we will hardly have a team. Your on another planet if this is a good acheivement what are you expecting next year can't wait to here what your prediction for next season. And I think also we have spent a full cap.

Untrue. Salford are near full cap. As a giants fan i am aware that Wild got a 'bumper' contract when he joined you.
a few years ago you were behind many other clubs but the signings of Wild, Feka, Anderson, Moon, McPherson and notably Patten and Holdsworth (both 6 figure salaries) have significantly closed the gaps.

So just being a supporter of a club means that you know absolutely bloody everything?
Whilst I don't feel things should be as positive as EB is attempting to make out, to suggest we're flush with cash or at/near the full cap is completely insane.

the grape juice must be strong in Yorkshire, Salford's wage bill is less than a million, Wild got offered a longer term contract from Salford on similar money to Shuddersfield but over a longer period means in total that is more money, now do you understand. Feka, nobody wanted him so not as dear as you think, Patten again offered a longer contract than Shuddersfield had, Holdsworth you could well be right, but he would be the ony one.

Early Bath's on a bigger contract than Wilde.
