Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Me too , but will it happen ?

Franchise propaganda item 1

Clubs will not have to worry about relegation so will not have to make rash decisions with regards to employing foreign players and coaches , but will be able to give both junior players and coaches time to get things right

Yeah right :lol:

Although, if fans leave in droves because of crap performances the option must be there to take. (along with cutting the players themselves who are surely more responsible) There's a few worried Chairmen around at the moment.

Then they should put performance clauses in.

eg, Clause iv, Subsection f:

"If you're shit, pack your backs - it's not a holiday camp"

......... or words to that effect :)

Could someone tell me what Steve Simms' job description might be?

I would imagine that it involves more than just sitting next to Shaun McRae at Salford games.


semi-retired, he gets good pay and is on holiday half of the year ( looking for players in australia)

You arent really familiar with employment contracts are you

But this what we said would happen isn't it , although even I didn't expect it after so few games :wink:

As i posted on the Salford site , they have 3 seasons to get it right , I make that about another 70 odd matches :lol:

Why should Catalans give a young British coach a chance?

Like Warrington did with Lowes.
Didn't Huddersfield have a British coach.
Problem is the best two teams in Superleague do not have British coaches.
