So easy to fix. Anyone on here could sort in 30 mins. Watching early SL highlights gets me so annoyed. It’s a disgrace it’s been allowed to come to this.

its SOOO easy to fix right?

just abolish the salary cap, massively strengthen the GBP against the aussie dollar, make RL attractive to youngsters in the UK, make sky double their money and finally..... bring back the shoulder charge.

more like 20 mins.

the thewlis knock on call, when he was trying to get up and play the ball, but couldn't because someone had been holding his legs for about 10 seconds, was nothing short of scandalous.

that should have been a penalty and ten minutes in the bin.... very different outcome in the game then.

we were still awful though.

Simply spend a month refereeing with an iron fist. Actually enforce the rules to the letter of the law. That would literally fix half of the sports entertainment issues.

The point was more that you can either use the small on-site car park, which was full, trust to luck and park on one of the double-yellows, or park in one of the places you're told to and find out the public transport options are awful. Unfortunately I chose the latter and waited 45 minutes for the bus.

Made me appreciate having a ground in the town centre. Then again Salford doesn't have a centre does it.

Diddums, my heart bleeds. After 10 years fans should know the parking options by now. As a Salford fan who regularly travels to away games I've worked out where to park to avoid post match travel chaos. I always park away from the ground and walk and I do the same at Salford. I assume you have 2 legs?

And yes Salford has a centre, it just happens to be miles from the ground so not sure what the relevance is to your whinge.

100% agree, but we need some attacking shape, just adding better centres / back rowers won’t fix it., the problem with Dufty is he struggles with that 3rd pivot option and is much more effective in the middle of the field. Problem with that is we lose that option out of the back. If we use Dufty we need old school half attaching shape with 13 first receiver, then Drinkwater with Williams as the option.

Thats the difference from last week, we had had Harrison spinning passes out left and runners, it was all one out today, you could have had meninga out there and it wouldn't have made a difference

It's probably got more pace than both of ours.

Strangely, Salford "Central" Railway Station is about 250 yards from the City of Manchester. Never got the old nugget round that one!

The salary cap not increasing very much and the cost of living going up then we are just not able to spend what we once were.

The marquee rule is not the answer let's say we have 3 on 500k average why not just increase the capacity so that money can be used on the whole squad not just 3 players we've lost over 1m in quality from our squads since the cap was introduced
