dont think koukash was supported by the fans, 1400 against us must have been the final straw! they have a had a great season too so you would think crowds would go up not down... dont think they will be spending as much on the team for 2018 with no koukash.

expect warrington to bounce back but behind us in rebuiiding.

wakefield had a good season, maybe peaking now whilst others are still evolving , we dont have to improve too much to gain on salford and wakefield in 2018 judged on this season.

you were lucky to just scrape into the top eight this season after finishing bottom the year before, so to that extent you made some progress, the only thing you'll have to look forward to next season is the mini league where you'll be scrapping it out for ninth place with Widnes, Hull KR, and the winner of today's game.

lucky or had players back from injury and showed what we can do to get into the top 8 with wins?

You showed nothing, you only got in because as you say you got your players back whereas apart from Warrington all the other three clubs still had horrendous injuries.

We got SOME players back from the 13 we suffered early on in the season- but we still had 6-8 players out towards the end of the season too!

Stone has said roughly three in three out. He wants to make moderate changes rather than whole sale.
The makings of a good squad are their. We had a spell when our defence was the one of the best in terms of points scored against.
If enough of the players can come up with the little extras to come up with plays we should do well.

thats what some arent seeing, that period mid way through the season when we beat catalans at magic weekend onwards we started to believe in rick stones systems, got confidence and players back and attitude was spot on, look what results we got... but then the injuries came back again and after such a bad start to the season we had too much to do to give ourselves a chance of top 4

I think you really struggle next year especially if Mamo gets injured

I'm not as fixated on Mamo as many others seem to be.
He's not central to our success- but will certainly entertain.

He certainly looked a game changer when I watched him

Not only a game changer but a personality and an entertainer who will put bums on seats.People should never forget we are in the entertainment business.Maybe one or two big names leaving Salford now who are worth looking at

ceratinly has that x-factor

great talker too at full back which was a boost to us when he was on the field at the back, gives everyone a lift with his energy

anyone know the situ with jamie ellis

still under contract with us

cant see hull kr wanting him, so back to us? but we have rankin, brough and gaskell ! no need to ellis, although he is the best goal kicker of the lot!

maybe he will find another championship club to go on loan too

Would think he would stop in championship possibly on loan possibly Leigh ,he has played there before and is from the area

Mamo caught the eye on his arrival but the real spark was signing Ridyard on loan. Losing him also made our results stutter again

Our struggle for form has coincided with an ever changing spine
