Your right the team that played tonight wont have more than three names in it next year (and Dave Allen shouldnt be one of them he has the heart of a pea and when the going gets tough he gets going).
Get rid of the uselesss coaching staff bring in an experienced SL coach and with 1.6M£ to spend you'll do OK not spectacular for the first couple of years but after that all should come good, good luck.

Ropati? Id have him in my team all day every day. What is it about Widnes and good centres, can we expect Ropati to be plying at prop later in the season. What do you do to them.
Some more free money off the bookies again last night due to them underestimating how bad Widnes are. To be fair though Leigh looked very good and i fear when they play us it will be a cricket score as if Sheffields pack can totally dominate us then Leighs will trample over us. I used to take the mickey out of Leigh fans when they said they have been saying they have the best pack in the league for years as they clearly didnt. This season though they actually probably have. In all honesty i dont think their backs are that great in fact id have Faxs backs over theirs but with that pack on a roll its easy to see why they will dominate a lot of teams this season.

Don't kid yourself about Leigh being a 'very good attacking side.' Like yourselves they wouldn't win a single Super League game in a season. The fact that they took you to the cleaners last night sums up what a joke your inclusion in SL is.
Cringing for the way rugby league must be being percieved by other sports.

You're spot on. Us, a good attacking side - you don't know the half of it, we're only averaging 46 points a game. Not good enough.
It really irks me, when people dismiss Championship sides, as not good enough for SL.
Please answer me one question - if your team (whoever they are) were in the Championship, how many SL quality players could you afford, on a cap of £300k?

Point being, we have no need to be a good SL team because we are not one, we can only beat what is put in front of us!

Regardless of what has been said, with Millward at the helm, you're always going to have a decent attack. Even if it pains me to say, not many teams could withstand the second half displays we've faced.

Bit tricky to win one when they don't take part in it, to be fair!

Don't worry about him.. he's just pooping his pants that Salford's grand plans are slowly but surely crumbling.
Yes they're getting the stadium but with a much lower capacity than was planned.
Plus it will be owned by the council so all the revenue they were hoping to pick up from it when it was going to be club owned as gone down the swanny.
John Wilkinson has been told to backtrack on his earlier assertions and hold out an olive branch to Sale Sharks as the council want another set of regular tenants to help pay the cost of the stadium.
They've even downgraded their forecasts for attendances at the new ground in year one from 12,000 to between 6 - 7k the last I read in one of the local rags.
Bailey retired without having to play a game taking a few months salary with him and from what I'm hearing there are one or two other high earner players that have serious injuries are currently playing with all sorts of injections and will be lucky to make it through the season.

| this new stadium doesnt help them anyway. the field of dreams 'build it and they will come' angle just doesnt work in the real world. plus as i understand it they wont be playing in it soon enough for it to be considered in this years franchise applications.

| I'm not sure about that... it's going up very very quickly to be honest. The progress the builders have made with it in a matter of weeks is considerable and I wouldn't bet on them not having it for the start of 2012.
