Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr

McRae is severly limited as a coach but I am not going to knock him as I dont think we can attract any better. Our present circumstances, i.e our finances, ground situation, training facilities etc, mean that we are not going to attract any of the better coaches, or players for that matter. This shows why the new stadium is so important.

personally i dont think we have a bad squad this season.Maybe a touch light in the forwards but we have what we have.I do feel we should be capable of better with our resources we have.Thats why i question the coaching??theres a saying "you cant polish a turd!!" but i dont believe we are as bad as it seems so far.






rugby best game in the world by miles

So we deserved a draw then did we coach McRae?

Well it would have had to be 0-0 because if the game had been played to midnight the Reds still would not have scored last night.

OK our defense last night was pretty solid but in order to win games you have to 'ATTACK' and score points last night our attack at times was crap to say the least.

Never mind it's the French next week and of course they are also crap and we fully expect our first win of the season but will we win that is the big question this week. :FRUSRATED:

You could be right but any coach is only as good as his players and last night our players failed to shine/score.

My main moan about last night was the lack of ball Talau recieved I'm sure the big man only got a handful of passes all the game.

Think we got behind the players pretty well last night, maybe its time to get behind Mcrae as well?

Some people really need to join the real world. I have never been a particular fan of McRae throughout his career, and certainly wasn't overwhelmed when he joined Salford. Likewise since then we have had a mixed bag - although he took us out of NL1, helped get us into SL, and produced some fantastic results last year (Saints/Leeds).

But this season in particular, he is clearly working on a severely restricted budget, and as a result, with a limited squad. It is completely unrealistic to think the likes of Noble or Tony Smith (coaches who maybe could do a better job) would come to Salford. And those coaches who might - up and comers from NL1 or the like - do not have the profile or the experience McRae has to offer. Plus he is a regular on Sky, keeping Salford's profile raised.

McRae has always been a coach who trains his team, gives them a game plan, and then sends the team out there with a responsibility to execute the plan correctly. It is frustrating when that doesn't happen, and also when no apparent action is taken from the sidelines to try to rectify the situation. But again, given the limited nature of our squad this season (less options than last), it could be argued that we don't have a plan B because we don't have anyone who can come on and change a game.

In a nutshell, we all need to get behind the coach and the team. McRae is doing a decent job this year under the circumstances. The only win we need to achieve this year is a new stadium, because no amount of wins are going to keep us in SL without that. I'll pay my money, and trust Mr Wilkinson to spend it wisely.
