Actually pi (and every other number) can be expressed as a fractal, which is technically a fraction (over a fraction over a fraction ... ) ... Just saying

Does pi recur?

Maybe some Gaviscon will help ....

lets just put this to bed 22/7 is my birthday so its a cake not pi anyway

Well my friends he is expecting instant success, and I be sceptical about him.He was also wanting a football club too.

He doesn't want a football club anymore he wants to promote rugby league now, and I think Salford will do something within 3 years. That's pretty instant in my opinion.

Ha! Well I liked it...

All this mention of Pi and not a single Wiganer insight.

I was thinking about this last night and think another decent indicator will be when we don't turn for a game and get battered which unfortunately is going to happen the odd time, if the new team is generally doing better it will be interesting to see how many early walkers we have and how many are at the next match.

i bet he will run by then to be honest when sees the averages don't reach 8500

Marwan just needs to realise it's going to take a little longer than he realised it would, this current Salford team to anyone that knows rugby isn't going to win SL, we can all see that, it's a competitive side that will win more than it loses and will compete and beat some of the big boys but it doesn't have the full package, the depth or even the youth system to call on.

It's hard to attract top players to a side that hasn't looked like winning a title for decade unless you pay big bucks, which because of the salary cap isn't possible.
If this side gets a playoff spot, next season it becomes easier to recruit a higher standard of player without necessarily paying out as much. This turns the team into a better team than season one, season three then becomes the season when you can invite pretty much anyone to join a side that has the potential for a GF win.

With mega bucks season 3 is the key season not season 1, season 1 is the exciting season but season 3 is when I think Salford will be dangerous, Marwan needs to learn a little patience and I'm sure a genuine top 5 threat will equateto 8k+ crowds.

Absolutely hit the nail on the head, shame a fan of another team has to be the one to actually get it.

I honestly think this season is the begining of a very long upwards curve (I mean where currently lower than a pregnant snakes nipples) which will I hope peak and stay at a team who fights every season for silverware.

I had a quick look at your squad the other night when thinking about our first game and I thought "jeez, that looks good", and you have a good coach. I think Salford will be fascinating this season, with some belting games and the real mystery factor. It might take a few rounds for the word to spread, but if you have the season I expect, next winter's figures may be wholly different.

I'm not sure you'll topple Wigan, Wire, Leeds and Giants just yet, but I'm expecting you to be one of the ones in the immediate pack behind, along with Saints and Hull.

My only hope is that you won't have gelled in the first game.

Indeedy. He does seem impatient for success - and has even said that knowing what he knows, we'll be favourites for the title in 2015 - but he's also said he's in it for the long haul. People tend to focus on the impatient part because it dovetails with their view that he'll be gone in a couple of years.

I don't think sales of 2500 season tickets is too bad, considering where we've come from.

You're very kind.

That first game is arguably going to be the most important of the season for us. We should (hopefully) have a big crowd there, and we really need the team to put in an entertaining, winning performance to make the newbies want to come back. If we get off to our usual forehead slappingly awful start, then it'll create that 'same old Salford' vibe. Having so many new names in the side is a bit of a worry on that score.
