Nope not forgotten that era. We were expectedly poor and there were some players capable of playing with a bit of flair and skill. We were rubbish alright but i don't think we ever dished up an attacking display as poor as that last night

Also it's a bit unfair to name David Plange first when naming the coaching team from that year. Plange did his best working under an extremely unusual individual. He never pretended to be anything more than a bog-standard assistant learning his trade. We probably would have fared slightly better had he been in charge of tactics and recruitment.

I think you will finish well inside the top eight ,but it's no joke in the middle eights , we got through it easily ,but if we didn't have Segiyaro I think it oils have been touch and go

Clark won't be playing, however I welcome the return of young Smith.

Wire will will run holes and lines right through them in the middle.

Yes it's hard to see this now because of the red mist...but we really aren't as bad as that score line.
For the first 3i5mins vs Leeds, we were arguably the better team. Just wasted the efforts on a poor short field game.

How did that work out for you then?

Salford are running under the radar all season but are right up there. Only reason they were in Middle 8's last year was due to the salary cap breach. But it was enough of a kick up backside to get them playing as good as they should.

Very disappointingly.

Yes 7 or 8 unbeaten now I think. They didn't get out of 2nd gear yesterday either.
