Quote: Uncle Rico "This season Salford and Rowley are the standout team and coach for me. I enjoy watching them (as a neutral), they definitely have a brand and have once again been very astute putting their squad together.
However, I am in a proper quandary as I'm 'exiled' IN Salford, so know plenty of Salford fans (mostly decent), some are good mates. My in-laws too are Salford and yet I'm not sure I'd want them to break through and win the GF, if this doesn't sound mean spirited or barking mad hoping for a continuation of Saints/Wigan dominance?
Here are my (personal) reasons, in no particular order,
1 I'm a bit numb to Saints or Wigan winning it, a form of mental repetitive strain injury, after a couple of beers soon forgotten
2 I want us to be 'that' team and wishfully think we can go on a run with our clout, whereas would Salford's win be a Leicester City one off
3 I'd never hear the end of it
4 I've two Grandsons one has been to a Salford GF, who I could get back to our side if we had a team worth watching at the HJ (I've held off this year for obvious reasons)
5 As bad as they are Wigan and Saints aren't Widnes...yes I know, I know we've risen above that palaver now'"
If you can’t be selfish as a supporter, when can you?
