I just want us to keep the never say die attitude we've had and be competitive in most games.  I had no expectations of a play off place this year and still don't really so just winning a decent number of games between now and seasons end and not being battered will do for me

There's no perfect solution for Magic fixtures Salford were a 4th placed side last year while we were at the bottom with Hudds so they seemed good match ups at the time.


Derby's have been done to death and some teams dont have a derby, if they announce the fixtures too late people don't book etc etc.


As for this season I'd say we wouldent have expected to win at Catalan or Wire, but maybe would have fancied our chances with Leigh at home. So I'd say we are 5 points ahead of my expectations so far with seemingly easier games to come, we need to finally at long last end a season well though.

We've played Wigan twice, KR and Leigh probably the best three teams and Wire and Catalan away plus two energy zapping cup games against the best two teams, so to be sat 4th is very good with no 2nd rowers. Future is bright if we can win 2/4, 3/4 away games we be in a great position, plus two much needed rest weeks in the next six weeks, get some bodies back. Club will have to make a decision on Olly Holmes if he's not back in next 8 weeks IMO. 

With the way the fixture list is so back loaded hopefully we can get some home wins and have a feel good factor into the winter.

Really happy with were we are as a club and in the league . Still room for loads of improvement but we're slowly turning the corner . 

You have to be happy with the way we have started especially with a difficult run of games. We've not had more points after nine games since 2016.



Really important we don't slip up on Sunday. A chance to consolidate our top four place and hopefully improve our point difference which has taken a bit of a battering with two games against Wigan.

Only lost 2 the 2 grand finalists from last year so we can't complain. It's been a tough start

Betfred have us down to finish 8th in their predicted SL table .
Not sure where they had us at the beginning of the season , Probably not as high as 8th .

Probably expecting our usual mid season slump

Think this Magic Weekend game is already massively defining.If we can rack up the two points and keep up the feel good factor, I'm going 8th or higher.
If we slip-up it could be a momentum busting balloon buster that'll  see us scrambling about in the bottom 4 come season end.
Let's just get them beat.

Agree it could be a banana slip game. Robinson's team is due for a win sometime and it could be this weekend.

It’s cheaper for the RFL to bail Salford out then having the pay the penalties to Sky for not fulfilling its obligation so one way or another Salford will complete the season and fulfil the fixtures even if it becomes more of a farce.
