I think with the signings you have made you have the potential to make the play offs and compete week in week out with teams out side the top 6.

Wigan, Saints, Warrington will all be stronger again next year. you have a lot of new signings that will need time to gel.

I am however glad Salford have got some good signings for next year, have always enjoyed going to the Willows.

If your owner had any sense he would snap up the outgoing Cameron Phelps, a quality utility back who gives great value for money.

I work in Salford so have a kind of soft spot for them. The feeling amongst the Salford fans is that they won't really compete unless they change the likes of Simms & McRae, they feel that as with a new ground they need new coaching staff to match. I kind of agree with them to an extent although a complete sweep isn't the right thing to do. I would groom Alker as a replacement for McRae as a more long term solution but keep McRae onboard (for a while at least.
As for next season, i think they will do well but bringing so many new players in at one time maybe a problem especially in key positions. I think they should make the top eight though and will shock some of the bigger teams along the way, either way its good for Salford and for rugby league this side of the pennines aswell

lol

Salford would do much worse than give Dennis Betts a coaching job.
I'm sure he'd relish the challenge being a local Salford lad.
