Noble for McRae.............frying pan into fire.

I'd rather have KH back

Cullen would be a better choice than Noble.

alan hunte is a rugby genius

The club needs a cheating, dirty coach of the like never seen before. We currently adopt a style which is ever so compliant with the rules and regulations but which referees don't seem to recognise.

We'd say that Salford have consistently played by the rules i.e. no forward passes (barring the one in the Hull FC game), no holding down, no deliberate high shots, no offside, no taking out the in-play kicker etc,.

Let's have a coach who treats the rules like all the other more successful coaches and makes Salford a more competitive team!

What was it Alec Murphy used to say " Salford will never win anything because they are too nice" or words to that effect!!!

That's for you to decide Baldfella isn't it, but when did we last play that style of rugby under McCrae. His game plans involve 5 dumb-ass forward drives and a kick down field usually straight down the throat of the full back who returns the ball with interest and we end up defending our own line again within 2 tackles.

We even played that way in some games in NL1 last year when we should have been running the opposition all over the park and tiring them out rather than making it easier for them by 1 man s**te up the middle.

Coaches talk about game plans like there's no opposition!!! Kenny Gill never played to a game plan... he just played.... and we won the league twice in 2 years with him at 6.

Here's my game plan for the Cas match on friday. Let Stefan Ratchford boss the show like he did against Saints and lock McCrae and Father Ted in the Willows where they can't do any harm!!!!!

well that could be a interesting thing, Noble comes in, succesful at Bradford, ok at wigan will command repect, Mcrae moves upstairs into a Director of rugby role, he is a big name, has coached at the top level for years will entice bigger players with him and Noble at the club didnt he have a simuar role in oz before he came here.

Would leave Mr Simms in a dodgy position tho but at least we would have a comparison to compair with then.

As for having favourites Mcrae has his and plays his too so i dont think that would change too much

Good players should not need coaching,they should be allowed to get out there and play their game.
If I was told the plan yet again was to do five drives through the middle run into the markers get nowhere and then kick I would say fook that, lets pass the bloody thing and play the game as it should be.
Noble has the same game plan as McRae.They are dinosaurs in the modern game who should be shunted off to some remote island never to be seen again.

Kenny Gill may have not played to a game plan but I think you'll find he played alongside slightly better players than we have at the moment.
You talk about 5 drives and a kick,exactly the tactics that beat Saints,its our inconsistency thats our downfall.If we have a good kick/chase (as against Saints),dont give away penalties,and don't knock on,then we are competitive. In too many games this season we've made too many basic errors and struggled because of this.
As for McCrae,any coach that can get wins at Hull.Leeds,Huddersfield and at home to Saints must be doing something right.

i think that is the problem in a nut shell, the players turn over too much ball and get punished against other teams, personally i feel if the players were able to remain as switched on as they were against saints (because they were making a point against one of the bigger sides in the comp) against everyone else i think we would be feared.

Unfortunatley its take a lot phycially and mentally to perform at that level week in week out, that is why we came crashing back down to earth at celtic.
I hope after a weeks rest (that what we'll call celtic mentally) i think the players should be able to produce a simular performance which beat saints

the slug should go , after saturdays call ,putting steff in the centres he does deserve the bullet ,and bring in hunte and leo murphy ,the dream team , at least youth would be given a chance , and they both care about the club , more than the slug and father ted whos only concern is going on his two weeek trip to oz to bring over tyoverated crap ,stop this now3 mr wilky they both are havin a laff at our expense ,,get rid of these two losers

But Stef is not a centre,Winger or whichever position McRae decides to put him into next.
You do not see him shifting Smith around do you ?
Stef is a stand off and should be kept there.
