you will likely need to get there early to park in travel lodge. Great Northern street is a good bet, close to Alder street - but bare in mind its Saturday rather than Sunday so there will be people parking up for free for the town centre, and people use great Northern street for the retail park as its a nightmare to get out of there at the best of times but even more so with the roadworks at the moment.

Will have to keep a note of alder street for next time if i can't park up at either of these, cheers.

rlJust Googled Alder Streetrl

21 man squad is out and as expected. Strong squad. Only really Jerry missing from who we would have out there first choice. some difficult choices to make for watson.
pryce, leutele, golding, lolohea, fages, hill, Levi, Jones, Mcqueen, Yates, English, Greenwood, Trout, ikahihifo, AOB, wilson, cudjoe, Russell, I senior, Hewitt, King

Pathetic the lot of them.

Huge congratulations to Salford, the far superior team this afternoon, that last try was a superb dummy.

As for our lot, we want to even think about competing then we need a playmaker next to Fages as Russell isnt a SL player.

And yet watson was still talking him up and how he should be considered internationally. No clue at all, Salford showed what a running threat is, now that other sides have understood the very predictable way we attack and we have been forced to look to do something else our backline has been shown for what it is. A load of plodders who have no footwork, no speed and very little flair. No sign of a new half for next year either, we are sticking with Fages and Russell. The boring way we play was just about bearable when we were winning, it's just plain embarrassing now other sides have watched enough video to shut it down and watch us floundering around like fish out of water. He even wanted to keep King, who has been nothing but a plodder in every game he has played!

As for Salford what a shame that Croft won't play against Saints as he would have caused them some real problems, he is exactly the type of players we want but probably too creative for Watson, who just wants to run plays like an American football game, maybe he would be better coaching that game instead of this one.

I thought you really missed Chris Kendall today as he's been outstanding for you this season. Was he injured?

Ken Davy Reffing wouldn't have helped today!

Seems a shame that some want to attack Watson after a really successful season. Don't forget he got the best out of Jackson Hastings in the halves at Salford. I think we have struggled for form for a couple of months, and with key injuries we've limped along. Salford were almost at full strength, and in great form. I would like a top class 6, and more pace too, but I like Watson and have faith in his methods. Very Australian in his approach. It works for them.

Unless he is saying one thing and doing another he really doesn't seem to see the issues we have. Surely anyone can see that Fages and Russell in the halves is not a SL quality pairing? Do you think they are? Yet Watson talks them up and has no plans to sign more for next year. We have spent big, but next year our backline atm includes two 35 year olds, a 34 year old and Innes Senior who really isn't good enough for this level, are you not worried about that? We simply have no threat with the ball from the backs at all, with Leutele going we are going to be totally toothless. I can't understand why we are not busting a gut to get more backs, and yet Watson talks about having more or less completed recruitment for next year, so no i don't have much faith in him at the moment. We are what we always have been the side that bombs it in the big games, the side that others lose games on purpose to get in the playoffs (and it works). Don't forget that he has had absolute control to sign whoever he has wanted, and we end up with the backline i just mentioned. No i'm not impressed atm.

Kendall had a storming game last week at Hudds v Wakefield!
