A we still keeping Simms,as manager.

Knock it off will you, you're getting very boring banging on about Simms all the time, this was / is an excellent thread so why you feel you need to ruin it I don't know.

I did the whole, 14 in and 14 out thing, but then Aussie Wifi went down and I lost it all. As I can't be bothered doing it all again, I'll just supplement our current 17 with some of my favourite players.

The Hayne Train - replacing Patten due to being more explosive
Broughton - show me a better finisher in SL
Nero - He's played well for us, deserves his place
Shenton - classy player - head and shoulders better than Gibson
Ryan Hall - would have gone for Briscoe, except Briscoe plays on Jodie's wing

Ratchford - His kicking game is wasted at centre
Holdsworth - Class act, stood by us last season

Cashmere - Still not many in SL that I'd swap for big Ray
C. smith - was one of the two best players in SOO 1
Mozza - we'd all still love to see him in a Salford shirt
S. Burgess - Imagine the punch he would add to our defence
S. Wild - has given everything this season
Gallen - along with C. Smith, was one of the two best players in SOO 1

Adam Sidlow - he's shown more ability to run his weight this season, still not enough though.
Lee Mossop - big future ahead of him
Luke Adamson - Never stops trying
Wayne Godwin - Like many people say, best signing we made in the off season

9 remining, 8 new faces

Right, as I don't have Sky Sports & my knowledge of NRL is poop (bar the British players) I'll go for a straight 17 made up of non Salford players whilst trying to stick to the 1 per team ruling.

1. Lockyer 2. Fox 3. Watkins 4. Mellers (purely to catch the bombs!)
5. Briscoe 6. Brough 7. Dureau 8. Mozzer 9. Roby 10. S Burgess
11. Gaz Ellis 12. J Tomkins 13. Morrison

14. Chase 15. Clubb 16. T Burgess 17. Meninga (maybe a liitle old now but can't be any older than Steve Menzies!)

If I won the lottery I'd buy the club off Wilky and instantly ban Swine Town from sullying (or should that be slurrying?) the pitch

With my lottery winnings I am buying myself a couple of pints

£10 doesn't go far these days.

£5 for a pint of Nuts & Bolts?? Jesus it's been a long time since I've drunk it.
