Niall might play tomorrow,with a local lad coaching Salford very unusual fact.Has it happened before.

Thought the kid proved today, he's a must at full back! Wonder whats up with Rangi?!?!

Noticed on a FB post on 'Everything RL' showing an article on Locke, a few Salford fans saying they preferred Evalds. At least one reply came from Locke himself who seem to think this suggestion was laughable. Which is a little arrogant seeing as a young ex-Academy lad kept him out of the position until his sulk got so bad he resigned.

Proved today why he's so rated, I thought.

Yes,Evalds has to be first choice.
Thought he'd cost us the game ,though,just after he was named MOM when he dropped the bomb.
Must give MCB more running chances. He won the game for us

I felt Dobbo deserved MoM ahead of Niall tbh. Agree re the bomb.

MCB had a stinker until winning the game for us!!! LOL Certainly needs that bit of space then whooooosh.

By the way I thought Ben Thaler had a great game in the middle.

Dont care what is up with Rangi. He is not a Fullback. Niall belongs there, and what we need now is another young lad u19s player , to learn from Niall. He maybe young to teach some one else, but who taught him , not a fullback we have had in recent years, that is for certain.

Thaler is the best ref by a mile.
He's in charge and both teams know it.
He's decisive

To be fair MCB had some awful passes sent to him , I thought he was ok. My MOM Weller Hauraki

Evalds defo best fullback we have, I thought Taylor had a good game as usual, think we will miss him next year.

We need to get the ball into MCB's hands more as his pace all round is frightening, when you look at the pace/power we have from 1 - 5 why on earth aren't we chipping over the top, kicking on the 1st or just putting a very early high hail mary up.

I absolutely love Niall Evalds. Criminal decision by Harris to drop the kid for the last two games, I wonder what Watson would have done had Rangi not been injured? He has still got a long way to go, 5 minutes left, slender lead, Catalan bomb and the pressure gets to him and he drops it. All that will come with experience though.

I have to agree re the wingers, it was noticeable yesterday that we were definitely trying to get the ball out to them much more than we have done previously. MCB was a joy to watch when given some open space infront of him, unstoppable.

As well as Rangi whats happened to Greg Johnson I thought he was playing ok?

Spoke to him yesterday..said he should be back for Hull KR. Also spoke with Tommy Lee who said he should be back for Leeds.

The 2012 Academy team came top of the table and were screwed in the play-offs by club finances, super league CEOs who wanted the to do away with u20s and a Head Coach was was determined not to be overshadowed. A Walne was sidelined for most of that season then left the club to join Workington. Alan Hunte bought him back during his short tenure as Head Coach.

Others of that team, who were clearly capable of beating Wigan, Leeds and St Helens finest youngsters, many of who are in those clubs' first teams, are either out of the game or playing in the lower leagues because they became disenchanted with the regime.

The club only played lip service to the Academy system but produced a top team which was pushed to one side when the so called super stars were bought in.

How much better might it have been with local lads with passion for the club, playing in front of their family friends and neighbours?

Let's face it. Could they have done much of a worse job?
