Sheens knows what he is doing and for me though it sticks in my throat he seems to be following the example of Castleford of buying a team rather than disparate misfits with big reputations.
I am more worried about the coach than the squad, the big benefit is he is young and will sit up and listen when Sheens opens his mouth where as a more experienced coach might think I'll show him.
Whilst there is a very good sense of team togetherness at Cas, over the last two years we have had a core of players who would get in most SL teams (Shenton, Carney, Gale, Roberts, Lynch, Huby, Millington, Clark, Holmes). As yet, I don't see players of this quality at Salford although I'm hoping the likes of Ben Jones-Bishop and Mason Caton-Brown begin to realise their potential soon.
Whilst I agree with the OP in some respects, the game is not played on paper and it's down to the coaching team to get them playing as a unit and to their potential. However, even playing at full potential I can't see the current squad making the top 8.
