All tongue in cheek of course but whats happened tonight and indeed whats happening this season - we havent really hit any heights as yet and have been bang average for large parts of it?

Without Kelly we'd probably of been a lot worse - then theres the Hadley situation - ive not been his biggest fan but hes doing really well at Wakey yet we leave hime there whilst were crying out for players like him

Strange

Hadley is a strange one, really cant see why hes not in our 17, much better than Thompson who seems to get in week in week out, hopefully just a blip and get some players next week against leeds,

just listened to a pre-recorded interview regarding the SC.
Radford stated that we only just broke even last year, i thought they made a fair few quid profit?

it's worrying that he's also said that having to loan out players due to us needing to stay under the current cap is a fairly good indicator that we do have back-loaded contracts from last year. I mean we have released more than we brought in and Ellis supposedly on a reduced ontract according to some on here.
Radford needs to figure out what's going wrong and fast, injuries are no excuse for that result, not ever.
Yes Salford are on the up and played superbly by all accounts but worrying signs.
Hope he can get them playing better for the leeds game..

Where did all the injuries come from tonight? To suddenly lose 3-4 players is also a tad peculiar

By the sounds of his interview on Humberside, Radford was as surprised as us by Ellis and Taylor's ommisions!

Its his team
After 3 years the team are totally moulded on his
Values , belief , character , discipline , standards
Etc etc etc

They were beaten before the whistle

A few players out - big bloody deal !!

Get over it

Hull FC won the 82 CC replay with basically a Dads Army team due to injuries

Mental strength I suggest
The last few results back that up as well

It's the coaches team now

stop being such a drama queen, yes we got tonked, players out and by sounds of it we played crap, it happens, its still early and we have our best players to come back in, beat leeds and we could be 2nd, get over it

I'm not saying Radfud out

I'm saying we were beat before the start

10 tries at home against an average side

We had the best D in the league

I've only seen the first 2 of the tries and I'm scratching my head at those

Why were we "beaten before the start" (and its RADFORD by the way)

Salford are not an average side anymore. I thought we'd struggle but that was very poor, having been at the Wigan and Wire away games and seen the really poor completion rates and stupid mistakes I expected we were in for a defeat soon. Having said that though we lost Green and Griffin to injuries so were down on the interchange and had 20 mins down to 12 players through yellow cards.

I am expecting a big turnaround next Friday against Leeds, who will probably be without a few following Westermans antics last night.
