You mean why should Wood or Aiton make way when they have been playing well, don't you ?

Those two desreve their shirts, I would go with what others are suggesting,Aiton to loose and Washbrook to second row.
Kirmond as one of our best players gets a game as he is head and shoulders above the three in the squad who purport to be centres and thats where he should play.

Add Cockayne to that list, but thats about your lot, nowhere near enough consistancy from the rest.
I'm starting to get really disappointed with Foxy. He's ok going forward, but way off the mark either in tackling or taking the high ball and we are shipping too many tries beacause of this.

Making the point to NGBC that you can't on the one hand say you've seen nowt from Trout and then on the other hand demand Ellis get's picked - because as you say he's an unknown quantity as is Trout. NGBC only backs named players, seems to absolutely hate any player who is a: Local b: Come up through the Academy c: Isn't a Samaon d: is a forward under 6"10 and thus a midget.

What is really obvious to me is that Agar has decided his best team and appears he will not make any changes other than forced changes. Whether this is a good or bad thing is yet to be proved - so far not so good.

What I will say is it's the polar opposite to JK who never seemed to know what his best team was, and was at his worst when he had a full squad to select from.

Why does everyone seem to think Wood is best in the halves? From what i saw of him in the halfs at hudds he was average and from what ive seen of him at hooker so far this season hes been absoloutley outstanding ! I have also been told that the guy himself prefers hooker to the halves.

And fullbacks!!

SALFORD CITY REDS SQUAD

Patten, Broughton, Gleeson, Moon, Williams, Holdsworth, Smith, Jewitt, Godwin, McPherson, Ashurst, Adamson, Wild, Sidlow, Paleaaesina, Nero, Howarth, Gibson, James.

Probably the strongist squad we've had to pick from this season. No exuses now, we must win!

I'm not bothered who plays, as long as we end up with 2 points.
I hope the players are as hungry as we all are, they should be eating raw meat for the next 2 days, with the peomise of Nandos, only if we win !

Going back to some people asking about Johnson. Some of the Cod eds are still saying he's signed for Hull for next year. Maybe this is Agars way of saying if not loyal to the cause then you will be used as a backup player and only used when we really need him. Has anyone got confirmation that he hasn't signed for them?

Thats where you post lost its credibilty, you must have included that on pure heresay because as yet no one has seen any tangable evidence to justify that description

Yes I agree, was that a one off or are all the other games his true worth ?

Anyhow just had a quick look at the stats and Raleigh,Aiton and Washbrook are way infront of him as 'tackling machines'.

You and me are probabaly at the stage where we only accept what we witness with our own eyes and are well past the days where we buy all the hype and crap about what players are supposed to be before they arrive at the club.
Its what they deliver in a Trinity shirt that counts for me.

I must say I don't rate trout on what I have seen and I'm not sure he has what it takes to be a SL regular.

Can't see him offering anything other than a solid SL player at best.

Despite that I don't believe he has fully had the chance at SL level yet. Hopefully my opinion is proved wrong.
