we are currently running with just one on loan hooker, we are desperate, he wont be frozen out. but I cant remember the last time I saw such an ineffectual hooker.

we need a 6 or 7 ASAP Russell shocking .yesterday after going 12 up we should be winning . our d was better but still a poor Wigan score 3 tries and
we dont look like we will score if we played 80 hours if our coach is happy then he is in he wrong job

Sam Wood now off at the end of the season too - Hull KR apparently.

I'm gutted by this news, Sam has always done what's asked of him, played in a multitude of positions and will always put in that little extra effort to get to the man to make a tackle. Just the kind of hard working player that Watson claims to like. A home grown player we should be looking to keep!
lets hope Watson does a better choice of replacing him than he has with the players brought in so far.

your linked with Brad Fash from FC, apparently Watson has guaranteed him a starting position if he joins

The shambles rolls on overseen by clueless you couldn’t make it up. Let’s hope Ken happy to keep throwing money down the drain season tickets will be less than 2k next time

im sorry to say you are so right hxgiant the club is totally rotten at the top I asked myself why mo player of any quality would join yes we know Gaskell did but with a totally inflated wage a player from the championship and it will just roll on until a change at the top from a clueless CEO these youngsters cant wait to leave if they show any potential I think you will be over the top with figure you have given

Chris Hill also rumoured - 3/4 years ago maybe. but getting a 33 year old prop with the propensity to brain farts regarding discipline isn't really what i'd like to see.
Fash I am willing to give a chance to - a starting spot might be just what he needs. surely Watsons reputation earned at Salford for bringing out the best in "unwanted" players has to work for ONE player at giants!

One year of failed promise and we are looking at the same type of has been/never will be player, nice! So much for watsons ability to bring players on, now we are after Chris Hill?!!? lol. I did say at the start of season that some Coaches only ever shine at one club and cant replicate elsewhere and maybe Watson is one of those....

And maybe he isn’t

Watson only had a 49% win record for Salford. For context, Woolford's was 48%.

You hired him, presumably, based on a GF run that was created by Jackson Hastings and Joey Lussick and a cup final appearance that we didn't win after having a fairly easy run to it. Watson thought he would leave while his stock was high, which is fair enough but if you think that for some reason your fortunes will change overnight you may be in for disappointment. Watson when at Salford had a real reluctance to promote the good quality young lads from our academy, and it seems that continues at your club. This isn't a bitter 'rub it in' post from a Salford fan either by the way. While we would have been happy for him to stay at the time, the way he manufactured his exit showed a different side and we wouldn't have him back for anything.

He may come good for you, but I think his success (the small bit he has had) with Salford relied heavily on a few quality players in Hastings, Lussick, Evalds, and a pack punching above its weight rather than coaching genius. He did seem to have a knack for getting the most out of players that were seen as average at other clubs, but once again a lot of that could be attributed to raising their game due to the likes of Hastings and Lussick pushing them around the park.

He may come good, but I think you'll need to stick with him for a while before you see a great deal of improvement. Whether you all have the patience for that is another matter of course.

think it was the media that bulled him up
Carney and his merry men and the CEO of the sweet shop bought it
