First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



Quote: Walshovski "Example

Your post in my opinion is another perfect example of a supporter with prejudice views against the Management and the running of the club.

How do you stop players drinking or taking drugs in their own time away from the club? Hire 25 private detectives or ask them to leave their families and live in an army style environment under 24-hour supervision?

You say a supervisory person at the club has failed on this issue but in my opinion its the player(s) doing it that fail because they are professional athletes who know the damaging effect it can have on their bodies and their careers.

There has to be an element of trust between employer and employee. Can you imagine the humiliating effect it would have if someone from the club regularly turned up unannounced on a players doorstep at 8:00am on a Saturday morning with a breathalysing kit? Just blow into this bag whilst your wife and kids watch because we don't trust you.

I think you also have to take into account that Alker’s book was sensationalised with exaggerated stories to simply sell more copies. I don't think stories about coffee morning gatherings discussing types of flowers with his teammates would make an interesting read for your typical rugby league supporter, do you?

And for the record I'm not under the illusion the club could not be run better, I'm sure there is room for improvement just like any other rugby club or business.

I just think some people are programmed to repeatedly shoot from the hip rather than taking a step back and thinking things through.

So all these "other" supporters with "prejudices" against the management and running of the club, we are all wrong I take it? Maybe it's people like yourself need to take a step back from defending the club at all cost and realise and openly discuss how under the same structure's the club is not only falling behind but effectively being run into the ground.

Wrong? I'd say the word is 'unaware' of the conditions and constraints the club will be working under. I'm not intentionally defending anybody, I was just looking at the above critisism from a different perspective.

On your point about falling behind other clubs, who would you say Salford are falling behind?
Bradford? Castleford? Wakefield? London? Leigh? Swinton? Rochdale? Halifax? Crusaders? etc . . what is it these clubs doing so well? In my opinion the only clubs we are falling behind are those with either wealthy benefactors or a long tradition of bigger crowds and higher income.

That's not an argument because the same can be applied back to you. There's lots of people who believe the opposite of you and it does not make them wrong either. You have an opinion, they have an opinion. All the points scoring off each other is pointless because you'll never convince someone of the other side that they are wrong.

When someone from either side actually is wrong (And it happens often) they just ignore it or play it off as a one off.

I really don't understand why people just don't sit in the middle and praise when it goes right and slag-off when it goes wrong.

I hear what your saying but this forum is so frustrating. I'm pretty new on here compared to other people and maybe I'm wrong but there is a clique form where a few posters stick together. Now that's fine but what I can gather prior to my time on this forum, negativity if you wish to call it that, I call it constructive criticism has rarely been spoken about. People seem to hold the club and the people that run it in such high regard. If it wasn't Wilkinson putting money into the club it would be some other mug doing it, so don't think he is the messiah as undoubtedly many on here think he is. It's come to the pathetic stage now were, certain people are baiting a reaction or goading posters into making comment, maybe these posters have sad pathetic life's and this virtual social life they have on here is only how they can interact, who knows? No since I obviously have issues with the club regarding the people in the suits, how can they continue to take money out of the club when failing at their job? If you want examples I have numerous and I'll quite happily iron them out because I'm sure of my reasons. Rather than people defending the club, "well we don't have the resources" Actually not everything is money dependent. Their is numerous thing that make this club look amature and still nothing changes? That's another issue. I praise when praise is due but ultimately people don't have notice because we all love praise on this forum but soon as you doubt the club, the same people chip away and won't accept the criticism. What tops it off, when they know we're right and feel the need to comment on grammar, WOW so hurtful. Anyway rant over and because you ask yes I have my violin at the ready! eusa_boohoo.gif

Quote: Early Bath "Come on lads - lancetodd, mitie mouse, Dantes Inferno Programme Thrower et others.

Where are you moaners and groaners tonight?

That wasnt Salford who played the best RL on show today was it by any chance?

Must have been otherwise you would have shown by now.

So maybe- just maybe - we are not as bad as you think are we?

Well done The SCR
Just because some people have a broader or different outlook and offer their views on the situation makes them part of a clique that goads, baits and defends the club at all costs does it? Ohh and people that don't share some of your opinions are all sad pathetic individuals who can't socially interact.

I was going to offer you some construction criticism but . . . .

Quote: GT "There could still be random or regular drug tests during training - a lot of jobs have drug tests as standard, surely it makes sense for professional sports clubs to do something like that to make sure their employees are doing what they can to keep in top condition?

Yes, it is down to the player at the end of the day, but as their actions can have a direct influence on the club then it should be monitored to a certain degree. If someone sees one of the players out drugged up to their eyeballs then that can have a damaging effect on the club's reputation as well as the potential effect on their career.

Although, I do agree that it is potentially a hard one to judge and carry out without making it seem like you're untrusting of the players or treating them like kids. Having said that, I hope they're less child-like than the average footballer!'"


Apparently the players have been getting tested at random during training for years. I think the problem is when players go out drinking and have the following day off. I heard the players are called in to training for rehab (Pardon the pun) the day after every match to deter them from going on the p*ss straight after matches. For instance if they play Friday they have to meet early Saturday morning but will have Sunday off.
