It's OK for one or two inexperienced young players to come into a confident, inform, experienced team. Any more than a 2 or 3 will weaken the team and you will see a noticable difference. Take Rhys Evans as an example - He looked an outstanding prospect in a strong Warrington team a couple of months back. However, when I saw him playing for Leigh on loan the other week he looked a shadow of the prospect he did for wire and knocked on about three times.

Easy win for the Reds

followed by the destruction of Castleford, Crusaders and Harlequins... Storm up the Super League.

I can't see anything other than a Wire win TBH. Although there's always a chance, RL being what it is. As for youngsters, if a coach such as Smith puts them in he must think they r good enough. Theredshed makes a good point though, youngsters will shine with confident and in-form team-mates rather than struggle with less-able team mates. (No offence to Leigh supporters here, either)

that macclesfield water, makes you see life through a different glass

No problem. The £20 "sizzler" promotion (pie, pint, programme and main stand admission ticket) for the Crusaders RL v Salford away game on 24th June is definitely worthy of its own thread.

Ive often wondered why the Macclesfield water came in a pint glass...

That deal is great, ive not got my Crusaders tickets yet, but im having some of that!

Does this mean you'll stop raiding other teams for their young talent now?

Ticket bought for Crusaders... £10 for a student ticket in the Mold Road Stand.. beer, pie and programme.. BARGAIN.

Ill get my Warrington ticket from the Willows when im up that way for the Lancs v Yorks match on friday.

Like Salford raided Widnes for Myler?

Myler was out of work and didn't have an employer when Widnes went bust. Raided is a bit unfair, all Salford did was give a job to a young lad who didn't have a job anymore!

That's right. And like you raided Salford for Myler. And Wakefield for Atkins. And Westwood...

I will be giving it large ones.



Jagerbombs all round.

Let's hope that the heavy mob aren't surrounding us this year. Our idiots need little encouragement but prior to Wire away last year had yet to overstep the line. Speaking of which, the behaviour of said fans has been much better this year.
So, if we are surrounded again chaps, presuming that some of you that were involved in the fracas last year read this forum, let's not take the bait. As passionate as always but no picking fights with the yellow jacketed uncle fester brigade.

What happened?

Cocky scouse stewards/door security staff got a good kicking for there o.t.t approach to handling our away following!!SIMPLES

I see.. I don't mind seeing mini-gods getting a hiding, most of them are s anyway.

Well, that's not quite what happened but whatever you say. In either case, I really hope I don't have to witness people in Salford shirts being pepper-sprayed and cuffed outside any ground ever again.

Salford RL, Passionate but NOT thuggish... Well, that's what I'd like to see.

Should I save buying a Reds shirt until after this game then?!

No you buy your shirt and wear it with pride.

You'll be fine matey, last year the warrington stewards were heavy handed and weren't your ordinary stewards they were total bell ends and some Salford fans reacted which is when the police got involved and the situation escalated, it was all handbags really,in fact a few of them who were stewarding at the game were on the doors in Wigan a few weeks later! I will warn you for free if you go out round Warrington after the game expect a few idiots my Ive never been out there and not experienced some sort of handbags.

I plan to have a very short visit to Warrington, the town is a dump the pubs are rubbish and the locals are inbred.. I intend to go, watch the game and get the fook home!

hang on mate , your from macclesfield , i dont think people who live in glass houses should throw stones , do you ? true we have some knobs watching us but doesnt every team

Id humour that if we were talking about any other town than Warrington, the place is gross.

and Salford is a beautiful place....cue photos of media city and worsley
