[quote="number 6":3ajgd6di]Saints v Salford going to be a walk in the park for saints on saturday! Salford still under orders from the rfl to stay under 1.2million so have named a squad full of reserves according to Bower on twitter! wont look good on bbc as their opening pick! think ill give it a miss[/quote:3ajgd6di] It's a shame we're not playing them!

[quote="BP1":ydwodaej]It's really not a good look is it, increase your profit margins by not playing RL is hardly the stuff to fire the expansion of the game, even in one of its heartland areas. I'd love to see IMG fashion a catchy slogan out of that scenario!! [b:ydwodaej]We had some decent battles with Barrow, late 70s - early 80s,[/b:ydwodaej] it is depressing for the game as a whole to see clubs like this struggling to even barely survive.[/quote:ydwodaej] Eddie Szymala! Good luck to Barrow, would be terrible to see them go under.

Wigan team is so good. Be interesting to see how the youngsters come through over the next few years cope as most of them may not get a look in. Could be some real assets to pick up.

[quote="mwindass":2vndyxf6]Pathetic squad selection from Salford. Interested to see how Leigh go tonight. They've had a tough job replacing some big hitters.[/quote:2vndyxf6] Thats one hell of a dummy spit out from Salford. Maybe the new owners are frustrated but it just seems a bit petty to me, we all know that they were under sanctions until everything was ratified so the owners must have been aware it would be close getting it sorted for the start of the season. The daft thing is they have enough talent the 1.2 million squad they put last week would have been competitive and Saints look far from unbeatable. They managed to fit Cross, Marsters, Macdonald and others last week they could have easily made a game of it. As for Leigh they’ve lost a few but Armstrong could be a real superstar. All due respect to Leigh I think it’s a Clifford situation, he’s way too young/good to be playing SL, NRL clubs will be watching closely.

That Salford 21 squad list is pathetic and embarrassing. This is something that is down to no one else but those running Salford. The RFL have bent over backwards and extended deadline after deadline and this is what Salfords attitude is. Considering they’ve been bailed out by the RFL who advanced them half a million quid to keep them alive this is a poor way to show appreciation. Feel sorry for the Salford fans but hope the RFL and clubs ensure Salford face consequences for their pathetic action.
