Ashley Gibsons comments on twitter just now about training ''skills, weights and pilates done, off home now...too easy'' Make of that what you will. I hope he's not referring to how much of a doddle it is under Phil Veivers thats exactly what they want and exactly what we don't.

unless he is being ironic, which is what i sometimes use twitter for, a kind of tweeting troll

Yeah saw that....bit of a concern going from "oh im dying" which is the usual post training tweets from our players since preseason began, wonder what time they started training today?, finished at 2pm maybe even early presuming he freshed up before tweeting

to be fair he has come out swinging as i pulled his leg about it said he was talking about the life of a rugby player and that "the boys are working hard all the time...some can barely walk" it kind of gave me a walm glow inside pre season is all about pushing yourself to the limit
He does seem obsessed with physical fitness the amout of stuff he does of his own back with is a bonus

Maybe they have been running around on tyres and lifting mars ala the video on't vishal site.
Would hope this is Gibson being ironic rather than factual.

Anyone considered the fact that today was a day reserved for weights, moves and ball skills? You know, a lighter day to put some focus back into the technical side of things.

I have had the pleasure (Or lack of) of a couple of Salford pre-seasons. Even under Tamati, pre-season was arranged in such a way as to be intensely physical and demanding the first half of the week, and more technical towards the end of the week.

Just a thought, seeing as it seems fashionable on here to see who can make the biggest knee-jerk reaction to the slightest thing.

God i remember Tamati,s pre season training sessions they were gruesome up their in buile hill park and school .But luckily we had super tex and gibbo to keep us amused with their crazy antics.which made training great.

Gruesome indeed. I was a fit lad and my first pre-season had me almost vomiting with exertion. I hate Buile Hill Park with a vengeance to this day.

So this throwing up during preseason is "normal" there was me thinking the players are bordering on making themselves ill trying to get fit....

should the players be able to go on twitter and give out views, mosts of us on here would be pulled for giving out views on jobs above us at work.
all at the club should be working as a team, not saying what's going on!

I'm still want to know who signed Peter Maitland from Bridgend ' the next Martin Offiah ' I'm still catching up on this blame game and that was 1997 though I don't know if I can pin that one on Father Ted , maybe Dougall or Father Jack ..

todays outing on twitter


Daniel Holdsworth


been a big week , 1 more session 2 go #buggered

Pick the bones out of that then.. .

I played for the A team during the Tamati era, although he worked you hard he was a fair and cracking bloke both to players and fans.

I remember being on the bench at the Willows for an A team game and Kevin took his usual position on the roof next to the scoreboard with his walkie talkie, there was about 10 mins left in the game and we were getting beat when Kevin radio'd down to the bench and said to the A team coach Ian (forgot surname but think it began Mc ?) why don't you put the young lad on ?
He never did but I later went onto to get in games later, from that day on I held Kevin in such high regard !

Good luck to Phil and the lads anyway I will be there at the new stadium and just hope the backroom staff start getting their act together as well as the players !
It looks like we will still have the same financial contraints even going into the new stadium at least for now so Phil has a real job on to make the best of what we have or can get !

Twitter update today

All players are knackered after a tough session

It's like they have been reading this.....
