I thought it'd still be too early for the "RLFans Silliest Post of the Year" award, but you've nailed it.

Quote: Red Willow "Ratchford was out of contract at the end of the season so how could Salford say no? Myler had made it obvious that he wanted away, player power has stopped clubs controlling the contracts.'" I'm glad that you agree that neither are threfore really Warrington's fault then? Although I don't know the details I'm sure that the Myler money came in handy somewhere along the line? In Morley's case it woiuld appear that the club are saying no

That's without even taking into account any dark arts Wire may have used in the pursuit of Myler and Ratchford, although I'd guess most Salford fans accept that as part of the game.

Dark arts eh, your not going to bring up Take That tickets are you?

Seriously, I take your point on Smith, but, surely we all understand that it's a bit of posturing really, that's what's daft? He's employed to look after Warrington's interests after all not worth getting upset over either way.

Slightly off thread, one thing that did strike me as 'off' although based on conjecture was Bradford's
ability to turn from carcass to vulture when it looked like you guys were really in a dark place.

Agreed it's a nothing issue in the grand scheme of things.

As for Bradford, do you mean them taking Sidlow off us? It's a professional sport and that's the way things go. When Widnes were in the mire, we pinched Myler off them and you then pinched him off us. That's all part of sport even if it does stick in the throat.

Troll alert

Agreed.

On the Bradford front it wasn't anyone thing in particular that got me thinking 'eh up', but, more a perception reading their board rather than actual dealings club made. That old addage, "do unto others etc" was quickly forgotten as their situation improved to quickly IMO even in the arena of professional sport.

May be I'm wrong, there ia lot of good will shown to most clubs beyond the rivalry that exists on the surface without any competition we don't have a competition.

Good luck to you this year and lay off beating us at yoiur place this time eh?

If that's aimed at me then your wrong, or don't you like visitors.....you're not sat in Langworthy 'duelling your banjo' are you?

Sorry Salford, but you are going to be a average side for a number of years yet!

Keep dreaming. . . . . . it's all you have.

Have you even read this thread? Your revelation isn't too ground breaking. To bring you up to speed, we are all very happy to have a club to support after the position we have been in over the past couple of months. We don't expect to be challenging in the near future - however, at least we have a future. I'm not sure who you support, I assume Warrington, and if I'm right you should know that positive change is possible with the right backing.

Do us a favour, and don't come the "Sorry Salford" here. This fanbase are delighted that our club is still around. Of course we hope we can field a competitive team and grow in stature as a club in Super League, and we know it's possible as we were at Wilderspool watching our team against Warrington in bottom of the table scraps.

So if it's ok with you, we will dream. And if we can wind up the big clubs whilst we're doing it, all the better.

LANGWORTHY?

It was just the first part of Salford that came to mind as I typed. no disrespect to Langworthy but i've never heard of "anytown"

LMS film about Rochdale

Probably true. However we still have a 21 year window to claim the superleague title before emulating Warringtons current 58 years since being crowned champions.
