Just looked at our squad of 28

5 aged 19/20

12 aged 23/24

5 aged 25/26

3 aged 27/28

3 aged 30/31



gives an average age of23. Seeing how we kept the bulk of the squad from last season, And hopefully for future seasons, without wholesale changes, you would think we can get a close knit TEAM

'" Quote ="redgunner"Ian Watson for me deserves all the credit he gets, his actual record must as good as any recent coach, if not better, finally one positive I keep seeing is the squad looks like they are enjoying playing at the club & that is a massive ">plus.'" The RLE this morning appeared to be convinced that Willie Poching is joining your coaching staff for 2017.'" Tis true.......he's referenced in the comments on Twitter from last night's event.

I think SL is getting so much harder to predict. Who honestly would have expected Leeds and Huddersfield to finish where they did in 2016? I also didn't expect Widnes to start 2016 like a house on fire only to drop off. Wakefield were the surprise team this year and Hull had a great season compared with their usual underperforming standards. I wouldn't like to predict where Salford will finish because injuries and a winning spirit and momentum are so key. The other factor is how well will we perform without a respected figurehead like Tim Sheen's passing on his wisdom? We could finish anywhere from 5th to last depending on circumstances and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow. I think most clubs have key players to do well but it's all about how many they can keep on the field over the season.

Tim had no input for the million pound game.
