How is posting something like this better than the same posts from 'the other side'? It's a bit hard to take the morale high ground when you're equally childish about things. I'm sure the point could have been made without directly targetting individuals.

Lighten up GT. Where have you been this year? Those mentioned have done nothing but malign & criticise the Board & staff - playing & otherwise in 2012 - for genuine fans of SCR their continued carping was just over the top especially as they had no alternative answers.
It was such a great day for the club on Sunday where we played above our weight in front of a big audience which just may ignite passions from within the City and elsewhere. Lets hope so.

yep DI you are correct it looks like Wilkie has been taking at least £30m a year out of Salford and not putting anything in, we have made him so much money he might just retire this year and let the club keep the £30m a year it makes.

| If players leave for the money then its fair enough for me, dont want the club to bankrupt themselves trying to keep somebody, its a short career they need to fill their boots with as much cash as they can .
EB is spot on people demanding that Tarry / Simms are sacked but have no plan of action after ill tell you what would happen it would throw our club into a state of chaos and probably into meltdown our playing department wouldnt have a head to make decitions ect, our Administation side wouldnt have a Chief executive to bean count and basically make decitons.
At a push you might get one sacked after a reaily poor season in our new stadium and no growth at all off the field but asking for both is....well...bonkers in my opinion.
I just wish the usual suspects would come up with a plan so we can discuss it rationally, the positives and negatives, perhaps they might have a great idea which would allow us to grow as a club into the community but without disclosing it we will never know.
I do feel EB must have had a few beers celebrating on sunday to shoot across the bow like that but hay happy days, people shoot machine guns in the air sometimes to celebrate why cant EB

I was referring to your schizophrenic prose and not the content particularly. Although the content can be hit and miss. Why do you think I'm funny? I wasn't trying to be funny.

lance is not the most miserable man in Salford but he certainly gets into the Final.
So because I support the club, the Board for their efforts and the players on the park I am Wilko`s underling am I? Well so be it - if you feel that way.
I can assure you my views differ from JAW but he is rowing our boat and sadly the crew are disappearing over the side yet the rats are still about at the bottom of the boat.
When I discussed with `JR Hartley` who sadly doesnt post on here any more `who was the miserable man on the left` re a pic in the programme earlier in the season - he told me that it was your good self lance. JR told me that after calling JAW during the week you are always keen to shake his hand after the match. Raise a smile for the camera next time chum.
By the way I think you may be pleasantly surprised with the squad lining up for next season. Personally I am more bothered about keeping our excellent coaching staff.

Hello MM - you`ve been quiet this week. My 30+ ideas have gone to the right people and lets hope views are enacted.
I never realised you were old enough to know `Will Hay` who is in my Avatar. Learn something every day.

Yes although not on the pop I certainly enjoyed the day and feel we played the best RL of the lot.
I feel Your view about the club is correct and as weve all said many a time - without JAW we would be in Administration and as many have pointed out he is 67 and the Good Lord gives us 3 score years and 10 so something needs to happen soon. I just feel he has had enough and its a good job he doesn`t read the Forum to see the vitriol coming from some posters on here.

You must be totally deluded Early Bath like myself and several other posters on here.
Without him and a couple of others Salford would be the most professional run sports club in history. In no time at all we’d be Superleague Champions, Wembley winners and World Club Champions. The squad would consist of 25 international superstars playing in front of 4921 average crowds and being paid several hundred grand below the salary cap.
Our marketing would move to a completely new level, the club would strike a deal with both Man Utd and Man City to put the Salford Reds name on their shirts in return for a few free tickets at Barton. The club could also profit from a TV advertising deal with Carlsberg . . If Carlsberg did rugby league clubs
We would be that good and have enough spare cash we could sign Sam Tompkins on a 3-year contract to just to be a ball boy!
Furthermore season tickets would cost £29.95, replica shirts £9.95, Match Programme £0.49p, refreshments including a pie and 4 pints £3.95.
Let the good times roll! Whoa some times . . I get a good feeling . . yeah

| Quote: theredshed "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.'"
That's fair, then. I realise there's only so much the club can do, but it is something that needs to be kept up with, especially if we want to get away from some of the previous cultures that can't have been doing us any good.
Quote: theredshed "Lighten up GT. Where have you been this year? Those mentioned have done nothing but malign & criticise the Board & staff - playing & otherwise in 2012 - for genuine fans of SCR their continued carping was just over the top especially as they had no alternative answers.'"
My problem is that there are two distinct groups on here now - those that, as you say, carp with no substance, answers or debating skills, but there's also those who just defend absolutely everything and shout down anyone who has any criticisms. That, to me, is equally as bad as the former. Surely it's better to have a rational, reasoned debate and ignore the balloons? Some of us do have some genuine concerns about some things at the club, but we're also not adverse to giving credit where it's due. The problem is that those concerns either get dismissed as being the opinions of the carpers, or it just gets lost in the bitching between the two factions.
My point being that a rational post making the point that things on Sunday went our way without singling out individuals would have made for a better discussion, which is what this forum is meant to be for. As it is, it became a petty, points-scoring exercise. And just to prove a point, there have been some rational posts in there that were dismissed as being from "anti-management for no reason" people.

That I agree with whole-heartedly.
