Good shout but a million miles away from happening as Betts has no respect.

Betts has no love for Salford. He may be a local lad but he's never given a turd about us. His Brother, Darren, was a nice fella who played for us, just not as talented as his Bro.
Which is kinda Salford's story. We always sign the rubbish Brother...

Who can think of anymore?
I was going to add Logan Tomkins and Phil Leuluai but thought that was a tad harsh on them.

Thanks for that Butcher, i'd forgotten about Darren. Certainly started the old grey matter stirring.

Great idea, it deserves a thread of its own. Thinking about it Cas seem to have signed pairs of brothers over the years. Colin and Malcolm Batty, Bill and Eddie Bryant and the Beardsmore twins (Bob and Kevin) More recently we had Jonathan walker but he's now with his twin Adam at HKR.

| It seems one former international coach who has only won 1 in 7,and that at a Championship club,still has support from the club's followers and has 2 more of our players on dual reg/loan whatever
rlBob Gouldingrl
Another coach who hasn't started too well also has support in high places rlOpinion of Shaun Wanerl

An analogy I would use about Salford at the moment is a key ingredient short of a potentially fine dish. It’s all about having the right blend and without this essential element (Pace) it’s not suprising they keep serving us short and it doesn't satisfy our appetites.
Harris has the impossible task of trying to serve up a roast beef diner without having any roast beef, despite having plenty yorkshire puddings, roasted potatoes, vegetables and gravy.
We don’t need seventeen Usain Bolts, 4 or 5 younger and quicker players will suffice for 2015. Johnson has pace and Locke and Ben Jones Bishop will help improve this area next year but we ideally could do with one or two more.

| you will have the back line of;
1.Locke - Fast
2.Johnson - Fast
3.Sau - hardly slow but very powerful
4. - not sure
5. Ben jones bishop - Fast
7. Chase - interesting to see if he can Gell with Sneyd
6. Sneyd - he has a good turn of pace.
Next year you will have good athleticism, speed, creativity and youth and with a good off season i know you will be a lot better next year.
You need to give Harris time its clear he knows how to get a team playing and what is required in terms of work rate for a top 4 team. See out the season and bear with it till it next year.

This is a very fair assessment of the situation, as is Marwan's remarks about the lack of pace. It's been our downfall all season (that and the lack of an on field leader, and of a goal kicker, and of a specialist hooker....Jeez, who picked this squad?). I think our defence down the middle has improved markedly since Iestyn arrived, but there's little he can do about our wide defence. Once the opposition are through, they're away.
Another problem we have is the lack of an on field leader. Since we're in the market for Wigan players (the missing number 4 is rumoured to be Darrell Goulding) can we have Matty Smith back as well? Failing that, I hope Marc Sneyd can fill the role, particularly since he's home grown and fixes the goal kicking problem.
All we need to do is make it to the end of the season without getting relegated. Just suck up the sneering from Widnes and Castleford fans and look forward to next year. It should be the club motto: "There's always next year."

| I tend not to read outrageous sack the coach threads, after he has been here a few weeks with somebody else's team. But thought I would catch up today anyway. After the first couple of pages I had to go back to check if the thread was actually on the Scarlet Turkey and not the Virtual Terrace. The thread was started by a fan of another club, and most of the contributors were from other clubs.
Now I am not saying that some of our fans are not also calling for Iestyn's head, the fact is they are. But things are starting to take shape for next season with our big problem, lack of pace in the backs, starting to be addressed. This team was recruited by Noble, and it was obvious from early days what the problems are. To blame Harris for The poor recruitment of the previous coach is plain stupid. I think Marwan, whilst no rugby genius, knows when his money has not been spent wisely. He has taken what he sees as corrective action, and some agree, some do not agree with this. Me I will wait and see what transpires, and not get caught up with stupid "sack the coach" issues.
I have not enjoyed this season, but then it is quite a while since I did, so I for one will be patient for a while longer.

| Interesting quote from Brown about this weeks match...
"They had a coach who coached them to play one play and then a new one has come in and wants them to play differently. That takes time but they have talented players and will win one soon enough."
Not a great appraisal of Noble, saying he coached them to play just one play. You can see maybe why ditching Noble sooner rather than later was a more viable option. As times passed little bits of info keep floating to the surface to reaffirm MK's decision.

| I see what you mean but could it be a mishearing of " to play one way and then a new one has come in and wants them to play differently"?
