To make it perfect can we remove Cummings from the commentary box as well, just use him at half time or the end to explain the calls. Hopefully this will also change the focus of the game from the ref to the players.

I hope Salford can fine him, in the last year he must have been banned for at least 3rd of the season if not more. I wouldn't be sorry if he left the club.

amazing the number of posters who say the Doc hasn't got a clue. The club off field has improved dramatically since he arrived. The link up with the partner schools and clubs is a step in the right direction. The deal with Under Armour a recognised brand is a first for RL. Coming soon is the club shop at the Lowry outlet. All this from a low starting point.

On to the game, it was bloody cold last night. Locke should not have started the game, it was obvious early on he wasn't fit. Patterson disappeared before half time, so that was 2 subs down. The game plan was poor one man rugby, the ball seemingly taken up by the backs. The was no flair or inspiration. I asked my husband whether dropping Chase would be worthwhile to see how Dobson and Fages would play together.

Hock, who would buy him? I'd send him on loan to Swinton.

Salford are usually low on season ticket sales, fans usually like to roll up and changing this mentality has been hard.

This year shirts have arrived before Christmas, all the players arrived for pre season before Xmas and went to Scotland for a team bonding. The club are opening an outlet in the Lowry centre there are now large adverts on the bridges over the East Lancs Road.

There has been a link up with all the local clubs and this has included teams I Manchester (as mentioned above) and Bury as well as Salford.

It is small steps but hope things will continue to improve.

Will any of this affect the on field performance, who knows

I also received an art therapy book  colouring book to you and me.

Isn't this just a holding contract before he joins the Black and Whites?

Theo has matured physically during the last year, put on weight in all the right places and has impressed defensively. Salford have actually done a good job bringing him through.

I believe boarding him with a local family helped him settle after leaving home at 16. I am hopeful Ferret will also benefit in the same way.

Flower to serve a long ban for hitting a prone man on the floor.

What the hell is going on, it isn't Christmas or New Year, and Salford manage to launch season tickets for next year!!! Shocking display of professional marketing not something we are used to.

Advert is very game of thrones      http://www.thereddev...on-ticket-info/

His manager should be embarrassed for not briefing him before the presentation.

Rich owners of Chelsea, Man City etc have been ridiculed for years and rightly so - what have they done for football, in particular the national team.

 

I don;t want RL to go down that route and applaud the RFL for keeping this idiot at arms length

Man City are doing a lot for the local area, building facilities which may result in young english players coming through.

Koukash can defend himself and does invite some of the comments. However the impact on this type of programme and ridicule on other potential investors  is the main problem for me.

The RFL haven't managed to progress the professional sport outside the traditional areas or support. We are too insular in our appointments and the people who have managed to acheive all seem to have moved on.  

Any one who resorts to petty name calling is already undermining their argument.

Expecting anyone regardless of their wealth to construct an academy, feeder clubs and a service area within 12 months of taking over a basket case of a club is epecting a little too much I think.

In 5 years Salford need to be regularly bringing through more of their own players. This season alone we have had Fages, Evalds, Walne, Walne, Walton playing but of course Salford don't produce any talent.

The biggest problem for London will be to build a squad in such a short space of time. In previous years clubs have complained about the unfairness for promoted clubs, next year London will face the same problem of assembling a squad.

News today George Griffin joins his brothers at Salford next year.

Hock hasn't been bad whilst at Salford, I've not had a problem with his behaviour and some of the comments on here are rabid.

any contact with a ref has to be treated as if intended and in this case 7 games lies within the guidelines and he has previous. No argument from me.

I think Koukash has made some good points which have been undermined by the dramatics he seems to enjoy.

The RFL seems to be an inward looking company, we need to broaden the board and attract the best business brains we can. We will not grow the sport without new blood and here is where Koukash could be a positive force but needs to temper his outbursts.

A marque player could be a huge benefit in selling the game but there needs to be some safe guards to stop abuse of process. Maybe some sort of scheme where the amount exempted has to be equalled in an academy which should grow the local game.
