Probably because they're not Mancunian (although oddly quite a lot of them support either City or United, go figure). |

You're right, they don't consider themselves Mancunian. Although their city centre is Manchester city centre and we are all the same people, but hey?! That's what they think so i wont go against it. But what gets my goat is that Salford City Reds have mentioned in a few aspects of their both SL applications (potential support and potential player pool) "the Manchester connurbation". Now i work in a Wythenshawe (in Mcr) school and have not seen or heard from Salford City Reds once; i live in Trafford and have never seen any local advertising or outreach for Salford City Reds once; i spent a lot of time in Mcr city centre and you wouldn't know Salford City Reds existed...
Anyway that's completely off topic, sorry! |

Well not strictly true, they don't have a city centre as such (Salford precinct is a desolate horrible place), but that doesn't make Manchester "their city centre", it's just the nearest 'traditional' city centre to them.
They have indeed often said that 'Manchester' is a bit catchment area for them, and indeed it is, but they need to actually go out and do some work to take advantage of it for it to mean anything.

| Quote: lefty goldblatt "Well,
1. They've both not won anything for decades
2, Their clubs both lead 'gypsy' lives, without having a home to call their own, in the last few years
3. Their respective coaches will have received 'a dicking' from Warrington, in the last few months
4. They both still think themselves as 'famous'
There's four to be getting on with, for starters.
Keep digging
Your nearly beginning to make yourself look even sadder than you did over the Gareth Thomas 'homosexual chants' affair, a couple of years ago.'"
Are you serious? 
Swinton as famous and historic a club in Britain as Souths are in Oz? Eh?
To compare their fame is laughable - has anyone outside RL circles even heard of Swinton?
As for history, well Swinton are an old club (not founder members of the RL though) and they have won titles but even on the history they can't compare with Souths pre 1970 and they certainly can't in the last 40 years, where although Souths haven't been successful they have been a top flight side for almost all that period unlike Swinton. |

They're biting early, today
I only threw in a bit of groundbait, and I managed to reel a cherry'n'white troll, using only a worm and a 5lb line. Should I tell Angling Times?
Swinton was an analogy brought up by biscuit, and they do have some comparisons with Souths.
ATEOTD, you're just bigging-up a club you have no leanings to, save for your current coach going there, next year.
There's a famous line, spoken by Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins), in one of the best films of all time (imo) The Long Good Friday, which can equate to Souths being 'sleeping giants'
"Ive heard of a sleeping partner (giant), but you lot are in a f@@@ing coma"
Getting a previously third tier coach, and a Hollywood actor as an owner, does not make you a 'major player' in the NRL

Wonder what inspired his 'media blackout' this week. Are the cracks getting bigger?

Well, somebody might be interested next season, if cracks are getting bigger. |

| Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "I don't dispute his qualities as a coach, his record at Wigan emphasises how good he is.
However, there will always be lingering doubts about his methods of gaining success, and his hollering antics on Sunday simply added fuel to the theory that he is a 'win-at-all-costs' type of guy.....Yes, to some that will be a positive quality, but to some it is an unlikeable trait that doesn't need to be promoted in the manner that he does.
On a footballing level, he is the despised Don Revie ....Very successful, but not fondly remembered, because he made his teams snarl, instead of purr their way to glory.'"
oi, leave Don Revie out of it! |
