Unthinkable, £1500 - £1700 a week for pushing a few weights in the gym during the week and 40-80 minutes game time at the weekend. We don’t know were born.

Sorry but there are thousands of people in Salford living on the breadline without work or in much worse jobs constantly worrying about their futures.

That's absolutely true.
But it's also true that,for a professional sportsman , the events of last winter were crap.

I agree around December and January it must have been worrying for the players. However it's almost 5 months now since the Doctor took over and the club and people shouldn't still be using the past as an excuse for individual performances. If the players are still looking back and dwelling on how thet felt 6-7 months ago it isn't going to help improve anything.

Correct :

It would be silly to put Evalds in at full-back tonight for me, our defence is about as tight as a wet paper bag at the moment and it would do the kid no good to potentially have the p*ss taken out of him by countless St Helens attackers making continuous breaks. Playing him on the wing would be a great common sense move by Nobby and would be a much safer option for his development than throwing him in at full-back. The two postions are not too dis-similar anyway, he’ll still need to drop back to defend their kicks and will need to return the ball back as he would do from full-back however it also protects him to some degree.

I remember we did a similar thing with Ratchford when he first broke into the first team and it did him no harm. Plus, at Leeds & Catalans away Niall didn’t do too badly playing off the wing did he.

Not in the starting line up tonight.

Think that tonight was/is a real kick in the teeth for Nial, where Gaskell didn't do anything to badly wrong I still feel that playing him so awfully out of position while not promoting Nial is bad team management.
