saw a clip on youtube from a maori news programme about Steve Rapira saying how close to retiring he was because of his knee , but he was making out this was his final throw of the dice and seems to be coming over motivated with a point to prove

| rlBrian Noble dismisses claims his team is a bunch of mercenariesrl
Good piece here from Ex MEN Hack Trevor Baxter,
Quote: "Noble -“Financially, we have been very prudent and all the players that have come in have something to prove,” he added.
“It’s about the right person for the right role,”
“It’s not about stockpiling people.
“We are always on the look-out for talent but you have got to want to play for the Devils.”'"
Realistic expectations ?
If some of the partnerships gel , then we could be in for some exceptional games.
We could just as likely see a few awful ones as passes go to ground players overrun or slicker opposition exploit the new team not playing ' as a unit '

I don't get where this lack of depth comes from?
Last season we blooded so many of the younger players and none of themlet anyone down, OK they were never going to be bolters for England but they did themselves no harm at all. The thing last season they were coming into a beaten team full of pretty much dead wood, this year if say the Walnes or a Ford came into the squad they will be surrounded by a much higher quality of player who can leak by example.
I personally think anyone who finished above Saints next season will be the winners as they have recruited extremely well and have some brilliant youngsters coming through, for me one of the big 4/5 will struggle and will only just make the 8.
For us I think 8th will be a fair result and a kind draw in the cup to further help spread the word of a resurgent Salford.

At Pendleton Gateway meet, Brian Noble said they had planned for a 35 game season. Seeing as the regular rounds come to 27, this means a further 8 games, play off's to the final and a Challenge cup final finish
I'll go with that

Our grand total of extra curricula games = 1playoff, spanked by Bradford & a semi final appearance I still have nightmares about.. Can someone remind Brian the title of the thread is realistic aims. |

Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.

I agree. He should have been saying that finishing 8th would be a stretch and we'll struggle in the knock out competitions |

Owner Marwan Koukash has revealed shock plans to ignore salary cap rules to turn Salford into a Super League power.
But the impatient City Reds’ chief claims his regulation-bending proposals are already employed by big-spending rivals.
Koukash’s outburst has put him on a collision course with RL bosses, working on a radical overhaul of the sport after the licensing period ends at the end of 2014.
Wigan were docked four points and the last team punished for salary cap overspend violations in 2007.
Salford have never spent up to the £1.8 million limit, and Koukash claimed: “Even spending the full cap will not give me a sporting chance of a trophy.
“So I will spend over it and re-create what three or four other clubs have been doing.”

Off The Cuff,
If the 2014 campaign does have relegation do you expect any complaints should Wigan once again fail to play their,err,strongest side at your place,on that surface ?

My guess is that his next post will be a newspaper story that Salford are about to go bust. At least it will date from December, even if it is December 2012. |
