In at the deep end ?
2-3 weeks ago if they'd played us like they played today, they would have 2 points on the board !

That was my view of it as well. Warrington showed some mental strength and composure at crucial times.

Questions need to be asked about two or more players, the anderson brother were awful today. It's a long process i suppose, but we were lucky to get a win i feel it's a good job Celtic ran out of steam.

yep the andersons have not been great for a while! the rest of them was good though

There were 12 players out there today who are out of contract at the end of the season which ones do people think may get another deal
2. Paul Johnson 2009 Yes if he keeps clear of injury but needs to go back into the pack imo
3. Martin Gleeson 2010 NO he is going anyhow and he is playing like that as well imo
6. Lee Briers home grown 2009 No we need fresh blood in this pivotal position imo
8. Adrian Morley 2009 with option for 2010 yes no need to say why his performances say it all ,but he isn't captain material imo very quiet on the pitch !
10. Paul Rauhihi Overseas Quota 2009 he is going anyhow I just hope his replacement carries on from the form he showed last season and this
11. Louis Anderson Overseas Trained 2009No performance speaks volumes
13. Vinnie Anderson Overseas Trained 2009 No same as his brother
15. Paul Wood home grown 2009 Yes if can keep injury free
18. Mike Cooper home grown 2009 Yes improves every game
20. Simon Grix 2009 Not sure maybe, maybe not
23. Chris Hicks Overseas Quota 2009 No .He has no pace and I would prefer a half back or Centre in my quota, wingers are a waste of a quota spot imo
25. Chris Bridge 2009 No looked lost for long periods but maybe inclusion in the 1st team will bring him on but I am unsure about his attitude and application to being a professional sportsman so a NO for Bridge but another one who can improve and earn it but not sure he has enough desire to do that so he is a maybe ,watch this space in my books!

What are other peoples thoughts !!!

Last season we would have crumbled and conceded a couple of late tries.

I must say, I feel a little sympathy for Salford and Celtic as they have been thrown into the deep end a little, and to be honest, don't really look up to it.

It can't be good for the game that the 2 new clubs end up propping up the table...it just gives the impression that the depth in quality simply isn't there to warrant a 13th and 14th team in the competition.

I suppose only time will tell over the course of the next 3 years, but for a club like Salford especially, who have never exactly set the world alight, it could end up being a long struggle.

I don't, and I doubt that any Wierdness or Leigh fans have any sympathy either. They have had far more time to recruit/prepare than any promoted club has had, plus they are safe in the knowledge that they have three years to 'get it right'.



Call me pedantic but...

I suspect Gleeson will not be with us next season, but it won't be because his contract has not been renewed.

Would definately keep Bridge, all the talent in the world and hopefully Smith has the discipline and management skills to bring him along.

Hicks, is beginning to disappoint me a little, he's bombed a few tries of late by getting either held up or put on his booty. Seems to have lost that killer instinct, but still have faith in him.

Thought Briers had a cracker today and was the difference between the two teams and was glad that TS noticed, I wonder if Latchford noticed too?

Can't believe no-one has given Riley a mention yet, thought he was outstanding tosday, very brave.
