There was a time not so long ago when we were on that level.

was just thinking the same reading the above threads...its the nature of the beast,you finish bottom you get replaced by the team that finishes top from the division below,thats how it should be..im hoping its leigh as theyve already sorted out one super league team in the cup now they are ready to rub shoulders with another...makes it interesting

Why is it that whenever a player is left out of the side, or sold, Tony Smith is accused of "making them a scapegoat"? What he's actually doing is using his vast experience as a top-level coach and deciding that the player in question isn't performing well enough. In other words, Smith is simply doing his job. You and I may not agree with his decisions at times, but so what? We're fans, he's the head coach.

Chris had the option to stay but wanted to play regular footie.
He'd fallen down the pecking order behind Ormsby, That decision was TS's - I think based on his belief that Ormsby could run the ball back better (mainly because of his size).
That's RL.
Doesn't mean TS doesn't rate him, but just he doesn't fit into how he thinks the game isbeing / should be played.

I couldn't understand for the life of me, Riley's decision to go to Wakey. With respect to them, they're always going to struggle.
Now I'm not suggesting that he's going to usurp Hall, Charnley etc, but he's far too good for a relegation (near) certainty.

Very strange

Salford?

I think he means if Marwan goes.

I think Doc is well fed up.

I am this game has been awful

Never mind Chris Riley, I feel sorry for Moz!
I would love him to have another season here.

again said the same thing tonite...you get more out of morley in 40 mins than a certain forward all season(that we have)

100%.
I'd swap Morley for Big Roy in a heartbeat.
I'd bet he'd come back too if approached.
One last hurrah!

Not the best week for the "good" Doctor.

He entered FIVE, yes five horses into this week's Chester Cup.

Didn't win.

What's up, Doc?

Salford are an absolute mess. There were 1,900 there to watch them lose again against Huddersfield. Marwan said weeks ago they lose £20,000 per home game if they get below 3,000 people there. He won't put up with that for long and beyond him there really isn't a club anymore.

There are lots of rumours floating around about Salford. I woudn't bet against them not featuring in Super League next season.

I know the ground location is an issue but I just don't understand how the crowds are THAT low. They never had huge attendances but where has everyone gone? It's not as if they're doing badly at the moment.
