Goulding leaving meant we had to though. It would have been very interesting though if Goulding hadnt been recalled to Wigan to see if McRae had the balls to keep the same 17.
...Salford are on the brink of being a really good team. We just cannot string together results. I honestly feel we will beat better sides than sides around us. Unfortunately, really good sides string together the results!
It's frustrating to see how much potential we have when we perform like tonight. Bringing Myler back was probably a big factor. We should stick with the more consistent players. A team that beats Saints should keep their positions (Goulding Accepted)
At the end of the day, blaming McRae is pointless, the players are given a gameplan regardless whether it is the right one in your eyes and if they don't stick to it then nothing can be expected. If they stick to it and they lose then by all means, blame McRae.
Well played today guys. It was a tough game for both teams and both teams forwards took some massive hits. By the last 10 minutes you could see both sides were so tired that even playing the ball was difficult. Even after being 12-0 up you didn't look very confident against us, strange considering you beat the saints last week.
Just gotta ask though, whats with the song about wanting to go home lol. I got quite confused by that. Good luck for the rest of the season though and safe trip home
To my mind, tonight is the worst result of our season. I think we've had a fairly decent season in terms of performances and results but to lose to a nothing team the week after beating Saints is a few strides back.
I feared the worst earlier in the season after the Wakefield,Castleford and Harlequins games but I think we have turned a corner in most areas in the last three months.
However I'm so angry about tonight as it was a real chance to kick on and when I heard us go 12-0 up I thought we were gonna get the two points but by the sounds of it we just weren't at the races.
To top it all I've just found out David Watkins is the new President of them too.
Anyway I'd be happy if we can get another four points from the remaining games we have and build on the foundations we've laid this season.
Not Salfords best performance granted, but every team has an off day now and then. Remember McRae got you into Superleague by merit, despite the franchise system and you beat Leeds and St Helens. What you have to consider is that after beating the top, we at the very bottom must have seemed like small fry. Whereas we are looking for wins wherever we can find them and though Wigan and Bradford are big scalps, you, being closer to our end of the table, were always going to be targetted. So far you guys are 3-2 up in our series....but we won yesterday

Well i dont know what to say about that performance saturday nite, we started well got 12-0 up and knackered it up.
A mixtures of bad ball control, bad decitions by us and a failure to deal with the weather conditions caused our down fall.
I think the players need to have a long chat amougst themselves this week try and get to the bottom of why we are so inconsitant and why we seem to self harm alot, Celtic were nothing special what they got we gave to them imo i dont mind getting beaten by the better team who take us apart but that didnt happen.
The Myler experiment didnt work, people say never change a winning team and that was a poor dection by Mr Mcrae live by your sword and die by your sword in this game..........mistake was made so learn from this one shaun.
The players obviously believed their own press from last week and thought theyd walk it, celtic came out cold we went in hot and got to 12-0 thought game won. we turned off, they turned on.
For the players who are at our club to take the team to the next level every game needs to same kind of attention, passion, commitment and brains you showed at the saints game anthing less and your doing yourself, us and your families a diservice.
Roll on friday so you can right a few wrongs from saturday night or wallow in self pity its up to you.
