McRae gets another vote of confidence here
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... __goulding
the most interesting part of this article IMHO is,
"Karl Harrison, who made way for McRae, is worried by Reds' recent results.
"It really does hurt me to see Salford losing heavily," he said. "I just wonder if the spirit that we worked so hard to build there is being eroded."
"We put structures in place, but I feel everything we put together could be being lost and that's sad." |

I agree with you BigPev about Harrison's statements - very telling and on the money IMHO. There is NO spirit visible to those of us watching the players (I find it hard to refer to them as a team at present).
Goulding, in support of Mr McRae states that, "His ability to identify weaknesses in the opposition ranks is second to none." But this is more akin to his Sky role as a game assessor though, where, as most of us agree, he is a good talker in terms of the game and tactics in general. What I want him to do is identify the obvious weaknesses in our game and work on them.

Maybe that's the problem, he has only had to concentrate on the other team as his own had few failings.

| Quote: SaintsFan "And yet, and yet, we won silverware with McRae.
I don't think it's McRae who is your problem. I think it is your team - either their overall level of ability or their present level of skill/fitness/dedication/whatever it may be. Your finances will be strapped for this season but once the money starts filtering through, you should be able to recruit better for next season both on the field and perhaps in backroom staff (with things like fitness coaches, wrestling coaches, etc).
I think Castleford won four games and drew one in their first season? That will give you an idea of what to expect this season. Castleford I think have only lost one of their games this season so far. That's what a year in SL does for a team (fwiw they dropped ten of their original squad at the end of last season).'"
Last season 7 wins, 1 draw. 2006 9 wins one draw. |

Regarding Cas last year; didn't they beat Leeds and Saints in March and April? I think this tells you that Cas were miles ahead of us at the same time last season.
Yet I am still convinced our squad has the potential to match or beat the Tigers' results last year. Obviously something is very wrong in our camp.

| Quote: SteveRed "It has to do with some ingrained culture somewhere. I have no answers and am as perplexed as most of us are but we have made no progress for years.
I could not agree more. Whatever coach we have or how many players we turn round the same problems rear their head. I think a more professional approach is needed from top to bottom. If this means sacrificing some of the cosy family image the club has so be it if it bring results on the pitch. I read pre-season how the Leeds players were deemed to be aloof by the Salford camp. Maybe this aloofness was mistaken for focus and hard nosed professionalism which judging by events in America and since is lacking at the Willows.

They (Leeds) are more than likely to know about what went on in Florida? Perhaps, as you suggest, that was just them keeping a professional distance?
