Salford Tonight : Mon Jun 10, 2013 9:58 pm  

Having just watched the game tonight I can say it was not good for the ex Saints players. Emmett looked like a fat flopper Ashurst was not at the races at all Dixon was average to say the least and as for Gaskell he was like Dusty Hare all he didn't do was call for the mark! he really is not up for the back bending stuff and he was the best out of the four.

If I was a Salford fan I would be concerned also at who was in the dressing room at half time they did not show a head shot but had the same colour jumper that was worn by the good Doctor, that would be a dangerous precedent.

Lets hope they are as bad when we play them.

Koukash won't last the season. He's too temperamental and it's going to end badly for Salford, probably in them going out of existence.

I think Super League next season will have two new clubs.

Name me a Salford player who was.

I would imagine all of them bar Theo Fages (who has just signed a 2 year deal) are anxious about their futures. However, I have seen the whole team play better than they did this evening and it may be that Nobby's style isn't helping them. He's certainly killed off the attacking flair Longy had introduced, which is a real shame.

I think Koukash is an emotional bloke. He identifies with the fans and so gets upset when they are let down. He isn't buried in rugby league like so many involved in the sport and so he will react differently to what we are used to. I think he's great, although he probably needs to back off with the 'you'll be sacked in the morning' approach as I don't think it's having the desired effect!

If Lomax plays Full Back against this lot he will have a field day.

Appointing Noble is going to be a disaster, that man is so far out of touch with the modern game it is scary.

Fages is a good little player. Is he still 18-19? He'll turn into a cracker.
To be fair, Williams had a decent run out.

The Wakey pack, especially Amor and Kirmond tore them to shreds up the middle. Salford's defence was woeful, everytime Tim Smith picked a pass and Kirmond hit a line, they were in danger of breaking through.
If we don't put a big score on them, there's something up.

The Saints lads were far fromt he worst performers. Ryan McGoldrick is so bad, he's like the Salford Lance Hohaia.

Agree on both counts. I can see why Salford have already re-signed Fages. He's a natural.

True.

Oh no. Hohaia is better than McGoldrick! He was embarrassing last night.

I feel the Dr will give it a fair chance, no way pull out after less than one season, two new clubs next season, how could they possibly survive it would make Super League look more a farce than it is, very few clubs in the championship have any money and most are struggling.

Typical Sky this morning on the news channel sports bulletin only showed the ref head cam of the brawl how pathetic! at least BBC News 24 showed some tries.
