anyone see adamson having a pop at someone on the bulls bench when he was took off near the end of the game? who was it he was having a go at?

I noticed that also, think there had been a little niggle just before he got subbed so would have thought it was a carry on from that.

After a close defeat by a better side this is an active thread? Just to check, is everyone on here aware they're posting on a Salford board? Poor attendances, poor income streams, spending below the cap and it's the coaches fault? Right then.



After Rhino the best we could afford was an SL winning coach. At times I really don't understand our fans. Just to give a quick tip, the chances of Bennett, Sheens or Bellamy coming to Weaste are somewhere between impossible and never happening. McRae can only coach what JW can afford.



We got behind the team on Friday and they worked hard for the cause. Let's keep it up regardless of what you think of the coach.

No disrespect but we passed the stage of blind faith several years ago.



The basic premise is "we are Salford- what do you expect". That is a facile argument because we have gone backwards at a time when several other clubs have progressed (Wakefield, Castleford. Huddersfield, Hull KR, etc.). If other clubs can do it why not Salford? What is uniquely bad about us?



If the club fails to address issues such as: poor attendances, poor income streams, having poor coaches, etc. then the future is bleak indeed.



Who is going to pay 18 pounds every week to watch the team struggle against the "weaker" teams in SL? For the record the three games we have lost this season were fixtures we won last year!



If you also consider the significant decrease in comparable crowds (a victory for the ill conceived membership scheme) it is understandable that some supporters are less than happy.



Finally, as I recall, Kear was out of a job before Wakefield appointed him, Noble went to Crusaders and Millward is at Leigh (not Melbourne Storm). All of which suggest there are good coaches out there and that Salford have missed good opportunities. But then again we are just unlucky.



I realize that one should never criticize the club or its lack of direction- so I offer these as observations rather than criticisms.

For the umpteenth time, recently, I find myself in complete agreement with you nnn. I have stated often enough that I refused to pay any more this season and thus, many will ignore my thoughts about Salford but what you said is absolutely true. FWIW, watching the club die from a distance is even harder than being fuelled by the blind loyalty and optimism that attending the game demands

Anyone else hear the slug say he had been with the Melbourne team all Thursday. WTF is he doing there when Salford had a game on Friday night.

Shows where his loyalties lie.

Fook off to Sky permanently before you totally destroy our club.

BTW isnt a certain Mr Hanley available ?

it doesn't help the situation when a younger member of our 1st team squad calling our head coach a wa##er in town on sat night.

I thought I was seeing things when I saw that stamp!! No-one seemed to react at all?

At the time when Shaun McRae was appointed most of the fans that I know(Big Pev apart) were all for him coming on board and I myself was unsure about what his impact would be on the team.



He certainly gets us publicity from his Sky appearances etc and whenever I ask him a question he always spends time giving an answer and he has on occasions put me right with his reply as he knows what should have gone on during the match whereas I can only summise what should have happened.



On the salary cap we must be the lowest in Superleague taking into account our crowds etc and he is having to work within a much lower budget than other clubs are.



With regards last Fridays performance although it was a much better one than the last home game against Crusaders some of the players must take responsibility for their performances and ultimately the result.



You cannot give away stupid penalties in key positions and hope to get a win against any Superleague team as we did on Friday night.



You cannot continually play with a poor kicking game, which we did on Friday night, and expect to win the match.



The performance against Bradford was an improvement but the penalties and the poor kicking game cost us dearly and this is down to the players.



Not changing our play, as we didn't do on Friday, at 7 nil down with 10/15 minutes left was either down to the coaching staff not seeing what was going on or the players not implementing what was required, or should have been told to do.



With regards the crowds there has been no "special offers" as far as I know, and I for one do not need any "special offer" to come and support the club and for the "fans" who have stopped coming if you really need something extra to give your support, how do you think that the people who have kept the club going are feeling at this time?what if they had decided to stop supporting the club?



If we cannot improve our support we are on a sticky wicket when the franchise test comes around and if we are unsuccessful will we have the people who are complaining now and refusing to attend games whinging even more?

How do you know that and who was it?

Sadly, with the exception of the inclusion of Mr McRae's name and Crusaders this posting could have been made any time over the past 20 years - it's gone on and on like this for ever. I have been Home and Away for more than 40 years prior to this year FWIW so despite my decision to stop this season I still feel I have a vested interest in the club I love.

When you state "...and for the "fans" who have stopped coming if you really need something extra to give your support, how do you think that the people who have kept the club going are feeling at this time?what if they had decided to stop supporting the club?



That is my point my friend - many of them have! That is the worry and as has been said before; I still believe the Season Ticket changes this season were wrong in principle. It may have still only been a small financial increase but the creation of a 'family club' that to have any value one must join was a gaffe of hideous proprtions IMHO in the depths of a financial recession. As we all know the whole point of the Forum is to discuss opinions.
