Were knackered, we need a quality nine, we have no go forward.
unfortunately the two young replacements will be found out, and Cust is a manufactured hooker, with obvious problems regarding even playing.

Herman outstanding, carrying us, he needs an out and out prop to partner him, another second row to partner Cartwright, and Holmes, with Asiata at the back, Ashworth and Lane good bench options as is Yusuf, whatever halves we do or don’t sign, without the engine room we will continue to go backwards.

I believe we will be better next year, and am pleased Myler has changed as much was possible in in one go.
I also understand some players will work out and others not.

But the fundamentals have never changed, 1, 6, 7, 9, 13, get that right you won’t go far wrong.

Amir Bourouh is the big unknown next year. I think he'll be the starting nine. Could be a star, could be a dud.

Really hope so, he made a scintillating break after coming on against us, but concern about his game time also, we’re in a right mess and all real fans have heads in their hands, unbelievable drop into obscurity.

If he were going to be a star next season salford would be playing him whether he was leaving or not

Hopefully not another Morgan Smith. No offence to Smith.

Half of next year's recruits aren't even getting a game at their current club. Worrying, particularly if abdul does need a knee op. He'll be even fatter after being laid up for wek on end

Salford have a good squad. They're a much better team than the two teams that have just battered us, but yes, we have essentially signed two players who have fallen out of favour there.

Also Salford play Mellor at nine, then I think Shorrocks comes on, or sometimes the ex rovers half “ forgot his name” comes in at nine, in other words Salford, unlike us, do not have to play their young kids in great abundance like we do.

So they prefer 3 non specialist hookers. Burough isn't a young kid, he's 23
