Yep was 1989. First time i ever watched Salford that. Use to watch the TV games and remember being surprised and excited we had a team near by when it came on. Think we drew 8-8 IIRC?

My mum took me to the next home game and thus began my love affair with Salford Rugby.

I'm sure we won the game I'm thinking of. The days of Clive Tyldesley doing the commentary.

Aye we did, I remeber it was a miserable day weather wise but I do recall it was our first win in the league that season and I seem to recall it was either Tony Rampling's first game or simply his best. (I think Brooke-Cowden played as well.)

Seem to remember Mark Moran knocking someone's teeth out as well.........

It also may have been the first game we played in the (superb) Cambrian kit with the black bands above and below the sponsors logo.

i've heard that the reason McClennan has quit is because Sinfield is signing for us!!!! ha

Is it me or has this thread become a rambling for every/any rugby topic ?

and is that better than a new topic being started or a pain in the of flicking to page 57/58...

I for one am losing the thread (excuse the pun) as when I flick to the last page I have to work back 2-3 pages to see exactly what the current topic is...

calderwood has been released by us do you think salford will be intrested and do salford need another winger just a suggestion?

I would like to think the club have sounded him out at least after the Gardner deal went flat, as for do we need another winger, it wouldn't be my top priority but I think McRae feels he could do with another. Broughton and Calderwood on the wings, we certainly wouldn't lack pace out wide. Although Gibson was really good for mine last season and we've brought young Paul Steele into the squad for next season I believe but I'd certainly consider taking Calderwood.

A few months ago, Mark Calderwood was another definite, heard from a reliable source type Salford signing, according to the Hull board. Of course, it never actually happened.

He'd started to look like a decent winger during his latter days at Wigan, but he's been plagued by injuries of late (I think he only played four times for Hull last season). There's a danger he could end up like Joey Hayes - plenty of pace but hamstrung by his hamstring.

Yeah the Calderwood rumours were strong a little while ago. Tend to agree with the above posts - I think he's faded over the last year or so but we do need another winger - we've only really got Broughton and Gibson i think and I prefer Gibson in the Centres - and Calderwood would be a usefull addition if fit and not too expensive
