HOW FICKLE ARE THESE FANS (E. Hemmings - 18 September @7pm live on Sky Sports 4):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45123.jpg



my cousin was in the salford under 21's at the same time as this guy and i used to watch every game. and he was the stand out player in most games, i just dont believe he has been given his chance in the first time in his preferred position at stand-off. given time believe he could be an excellent player

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Perhaps the person you should be having a word with is your little Warrington troll friend. Or maybe all 60 of them.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg

Agree 100%

2 seasons ago half our squad was average

No, it's staying at 5 for the foreseeable future. Personally, I would like to see it reduced, but I don't see it happening.

If Carmont retires we will need a top quality replacement from the NRL'"


I tend to agree that that's a priority, though I do rate Marsh.

It should still continue to reduce naturally as the players who recieved the exemptions from the overseas trained rule leave/retire.

Isn't the idea that instead of the nationality counting that its meant to just go down to 5 overseas trained players?

Quote: Rogues Gallery "Frightening isn't it.
Briscoe played most of his junior/academy rugby at centre and has been eased into the first team on the wing. He is a first class player and would be an ideal partner for Josh Charnley. He also has the one thing you can't really coach, pace, and a lot of it.'"



There is no chance of tempting himn away from Hull, he is a hgull lad.

This isnt going to happen

I wonder how Ratchford would go as a full-back chiming into the line as a third pivot, similar to Hodgson at Warrington.

For me he needs to put some bulk on if he is to stand in the defensive line. He seems to have potential and will definitiely be signed by one of the "bigger" clubs rather than remain at Salford.

It's definately worth a punt for one of the bigger sides, even if its just as a utility back, he wouldn't demand a ridiculous wage and there's a good chance he could kick on under a better coach than McRae.

Might depend on who takes over there, now that McRae's exit is official.

Think ratchford would be a good signing personally, adds versatility which is always a bonus. Think hes done okay in an average team at the moment. If your playing in the halves you havent got a chance if your pack aint on top. I'd like to see what he could do behind a dominant pack.
