I've no problem with changes to the playing squad,provided we don't have six months of 'it'll take time to gel'.

Don't be so impatient Bonita. You should know it's going to take at least 5 years before we learn how to tackle properly and show some team spirit and enthusiasm.

In last nights Castleford side there were 6 off-season signings.
International coaches - (bar Noble?),have to succeed by moulding a side from players taken from a whole host of clubs,and do that in a limited timescale.
The same applies in soccer.
Powell at Cas has moulded a team with players lacking international games,Grand Final appearances and a winning culture - in contrast to the squad assembled for our campaign.It can be done - at least to a higher standard than what has been left for Iestyn Harris.

I agree with the majority of what you say,except the last bit which,if I read it right,means that you don't think Harris was left with much.
I think maybe just the odd coach might have been pleased inheriting a squad including Chase Hock Hansen Gleeson Tasi
Sau......need I go on.
Or maybe you didn't mean that ?

Perhaps Red Devils Paw means Cas players are collectively performing to a higher standard than our players??? Which they have by some considerable distance up until now.

This said I still believe we have the potential to finish the season stronger than the Tigers if our players want it enough.

Harris & Marwan?

Where have the outstanding players been? Hock and Hanson I can agree with, maybe Sau, but I can't think that there has been much spark with most of the others. Chase is totally over-rated while Gleeson is over the hill and Tasi is not performing either.. The table tells the story. Too much reliance on players who have too little interest other than their pay packet!

Morley was only ever brought in because of his Salford connection. He is an icon and his experience should be used to enthuse his team- mates, but he spends too much time on the field for a bloke of his age. He has been an outstanding player in his day, but that day has gone and he should be used to provide leadership and experience to players who are either lacking of confidence, or are disinterested.

When the team was put together, I recognised it as the "Misfits". If Noble could have welded that group of players into a team they would have been outstanding and he would have been a genius. Noble didn't meet that objective and Harris has inherited, what I, personally, consider to be a poison chalice. There are too many players with too many personal issues to expect that any coach can actually get them all to perform at the same time.

Harris has taken the task, but why, on this season's performances, anybody thinks that he should be pleased about the squad he has inherited, is more than optimistic.

Moving on, I am led to believe that we have conditioners who are renowned in their field. And yet we see second half melt-downs. SDR seem to me to be a 60 minute side and that needs addressing urgently or the fans, the players and the Doctor will all end up with egg on their faces.

Mr Barker has a suggestion on his Twitter that Andy Hay is rumoured to be interesting Featherstone Rovers.

One or two posters on their forum also state he is in line for the job - with one poster stating Sean Long is wanted by some of the players.

The announcement by Featherstone is 0930 hrs in the morning.( For the head coach position )

No one in salford heard of a hock of ham? I'm guessing it's his nickname

Surely we can't afford to lose our attacking coach. We've been tearing teams apart with silky attacking rugby since his return.

You'd be guessing wrong.

His nickname is 'The Butcher'.

What's the situation with Tim Smith? Sporting Life saying Fages played after Smith became "unavailable". Strange terminology for picking up an injury or is it something else?

I don't know why he wasn't playing but for reasons best known to themselves the,errm,supporters,have taken to having a 'pop' at him continuously so that must be debilitating to him psychologically.
His replacement Theo was taken out with a late shot and did not reappear for the second half.
Surprised no one mentioned it when discussing the referee 'inconsistencies'.
If only he had a magic hat.

Theo was hit late by their lumbering doofus Jordan Cox. He's about twice the size and width of the young French lad so he's obviously a real brave guy...
