If Salford finish in the top 8 I think the club should seriously looking at bringing him in as assistant coach, he was always rated as the one who would make a good coach endorsed by Daniel Anderson.
The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

There's some knee jerkers on here, alright.
A couple of bad weeks doesn't all of a sudden make the players that came runners up last year "not up to it". Whilst Lomax's ultimate position may not be #7, he's had plenty of games when he's performed there against top opposition.
What you have is a team that's playing badly. Against Catalan, it was mainly the defensive line. Apparently that was a lot better this week,but we lacked in other areas. IMO I'm afraid in times like this the blame lies mainly with the coaching staff.
We started poorly last year and seem to have done the same. We pulled it around in the end, so maybe we'll do it again. Let's not all panic at once.

I'm not sure we are playing poorly, I think unfortunately this is where the squad should be. Our front row is pathetic and won't make the metres to give the half backs the chance to shine. Our outside backs and fullback are probably one of the worst in. Super League.

perhaps hudds are a better side than people give them credit for?
I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league Doom and gloom, doom and gloom

Don't be ridiculous, they'll not finish anywhere near the top 4 just like they haven't for the last few years.
In regard to some of the comments about Lomax. He's a runner at the moment, and that's it. However, so was Long for the first few years with us. People forget that it was only really 2004 when he started to control a game, after having a few years of doing little else. Our problem is that we have two inexperienced half backs. A move of Hohaia to half back to partner Gaskell will give us some experience in the half back position but allow us to have someone there with a kicking game. I'd then move Lomax to full back, this would allow him to still be a creative fulcrum of the team, but would take the pressure off and make him harder to pick up by the opposition defence (it sounds like he was targeted yesterday, get used to it, everyone will be doing it now).
