The team are finding their feet in SL and have gone from a club getting blown away in the first 15 minutes to competing for 30 minutes against Wigan . . to being level just after half-time against Hull KR . . to actually winning at Hull
. . and still rather than seeing the progress some people prefer to remain pessimistic by stating the obvious and predicting heavy defeats against the elite clubs!
I think its time for some fans to get real and appreciate that it is a massive step up for a club that has less to spend on players at the moment than any other club in SL!
Sustainable success or competitiveness in professional team sport is all about money – end of!
As a young lad in Brindle Heath many years ago there was a saying
"They would grumble to get hung"
I think that it applies to some people today with some of their comments/opinions that we know we are all entitled to but surely the topic has been done to death over the last few weeks.
We had an excellent result against Hull FC, the fans who went had their best day for years, the fans who did not travel had their best listen for years and John from Salford No 1 did not come on the radio, what a weekend.
On the money front how would Saints, Wigan, Warrington, Bradford etc perform with our salary cap? and before anyone pulls me up on that one it is up to the club to attract more fans which will in turn bring in more revenue and sponsors then once at the maximum salary cap there can be no excuses over the make up of the team, it will be down to the coaching staff etc.
A few performances like last Sundays will go a long way to improve the finances and therefore the team itself.
