As Martin Luther King once said,
"I have a Dream....."

and also an opinion, I too sometimes wonder about the coach, but in my lifetime, I have only known the club beat Leeds at Headingly twice and one of them was this year.

What we can afford is not a lot, but we have/had poss two of the best young Half backs in the SL (opinion), when we did throw the ball about we looked good, with a few more additions next year and another years experience in Ratchford, Adamson and Nash (not the band) we will improve on this year and surprise a few people, and when the start date on the stadium is announced the club will grow. The reccession is other we have got through it, now lets build for the future, we are the Manchester (hate to say it) club in Super League, we are the only City Club this side of the Pennines so N77, if you don't won't to be a part of it (another song) go, walk out the door, your not needed anymore. Find another hobby to moan about, as HR says you cut your cloth by what you can afford and make the best use.

And if Salford had announced those three signings - a 34 year old, a 31 year old and an Aussie who, apparently, blobbed his coach - there'd be people on here moaning about how they prove the club are in crisis.

I've missed a fair few games this year for the first time since I started going in the early 80's.... the reason.... boredom. The team have become boring and The Willows experience has become even worse. I've stood in the Shed since I was a teenager... when it was rockin every week... now.... it's rare. I found myself yawning and clock watching... looking forward to the 80th minute cropping up so I can go home. I can handle losing... but watching the garbage that we have had to watch this season is not exactly inspiring to spend the money on... if you were watching a film as boring... you'd turn it off. It's not about results and who we've beaten. I'm not bothered we've beaten Saints and Leeds... I'd be just as happy to beat Harlequins and Celtic if the rugby is good. We pay to be entertained. Loyalty doesn't come into it... I was bored when we were winning. I lost most of the interest after Edinburgh when McRae told me that this was how we are going to play for the rest of the year because we don't have the skill to do it any other way.... What a kick in the nuts that was.

I'm not happy with the tactics, and not happy with the effort. When I'm being entertained I can justify the £17 to watch. When I'm not... I'd sooner spend that money on my family.

Can't find anything in their to disagree with - have felt the same on a number of occasions.

LF - Has been my view as well all season. Very repetitive and obvious and we must be a Visiting Coach`s dream. Easy to defend against.

Would love to see some spark/off the cuff stuff as we have players there with that bit of nous.

Perhaps Robbie was putting his cap in the ring,(couple of years) when he said that Ratchford will improve with the right coaching, in essence he was not getting it now.

That mirrors my views, I started feeling that way the season we were relegated.

I used to go week in week out and was always on these forums checking for news. The season we went down i started to realise that Rugby was heading the same way as football - teams full of mercenaries in it for the money, Coley's behavior especially made me loose a lot of enthusiasm.

Then we went down and i found myself bored to tears even though we were winning every week (surely we had the quality above our rivals to entertain then?), 1 man rugby returned.

This season I only went in the 1st half of the season (the football style Myler rubbish ruined the season for me) and it was the same 1 man rubbish until we were loosing then we started to chuck the ball about gave the half back a chance to get into the game and looked good - i was almost entertained.

Maybe we have been spoiled by the characters we've had playing at Salford over the years - shocking teams but individuals who could put a smile on your face and make it worthwhile watching a hammering. Players like Tex, Gibbo, Baynes, Edwards, Young, Naylor, Williams, Sini, Forber, Lee, Hancock - none of them world beaters but all entertainers.

I'll probably do the same next season - watch a few games early on then if its still rubbish i'll not bother wasting my money.

What happened to this lad? Looked set for greatness at the early stages of his career with Leeds then he took a nasty injury and I havent heard anything about him since. I suppose with the emergence of Hall and Watkins he is way below the pecking order now.

Will be a good signing for us though.

Shocking injury problems have hampered his learning. Such a shame as he was by far the best player in our academy at the time. Still a solid player and will still get better but with Delaney coming over next year, Watkins (Who is the real deal) a year older and possibly the ever impressive Ratu still on our books added with cover from Ablett creates a hard path into the team. Keep Ash injury free and he will be a tremendous player but his time appears to be up at Leeds.

I'm hoping that if we sign Gibson he has the sort of effect that Goulding had in that he manages to perform above what's expected of him in a low pressure environment. Knowing our luck though, if we do sign him he'll be injured for half the season.

i think goulding coming back to the willows will be another good signing again this time.

Now this is the kid that has always impressed me and reminds me greatly of Ryan Atkins, would be worth for me seeing if Leeds would let him go for a year long loan.

Is he not rumoured to have joined Hull KR next season?

He was a quality prospect a couple of years ago and last I heard he had gone on loan to Halifax but then he just didnt seem to kick on from there. He should have by now played regular Super League for someone.

Would be a great shout to get on a year long loan.
