Quote: bishops finger "I've just seen your squad numbers announced and I may have to take back what I wrote, that squad should easily have enough to finish in the top half, I didn't realise you had such a good squad. You'll miss Evalds and Dudson but look to have a lot of cover now though. Watson seemed to get the best out of average players like Burke and Johnson so it'll be interesting to see how Marshall goes.'"
Evalds will undoubtedly be missed but Escare has similar qualities so should slot in well. And yeah Dudson has been great for us but he didn't play a huge amount last season so we managed to cope without him for a decent portion of the season. Hopefully Darcy Lussick will fill the void and we've managed to keep hold of Seb, who's a former SL Dream Teamer and a cracking player. If (and it's always a big if with a new coach) Marshall can carry on from Watson left off we should cause most teams a problem.
It does feel weird though as a Salford fan (we're generally a pessimistic bunch!) not going into a season worried about being in a relegation scrap and having *genuine play-off aspirations.
*I reserve the right to retract this statement in May when we've not won a game and Marshall has been sacked.
