  1. Yep, Salford, Toronto and now Fev. Not to mention the dodgy circumstances surrounding leaving Salford council in the first place.
  2. Unless you have an insolvency event there's very little chance of you becoming the next Bradford under the img era. I don't think your squad is that bad although there is definitely some inbalance, I just think Tony Smith is done as a top level coach when it comes to motivating a group. Big culture overhaul needed within the group.
  3. Was nice to see our attack finally starting to click over 80 minutes this week. Moylan is starting to look like the player I was hoping for and Hanley is doing a good job so far of making sure Briscoe doesn't get back in the team once fit, with 220 meters gained to go with his 164 against Leeds last week. edit. Also, nice to tick off a couple of records with our highest winning margin(beating 32-0 against Wakefield in 2023) and highest points for(beating 50-34 against Wigan in 2017).
  4. Craig Hall apparently still waiting on his testimonial money.
  5. I've enjoyed the freshening up of sky commentary, I've been very underwhelmed by superleague+ though. There have been miscommunication around what day games are coming on, and since round 1 they've added nothing to the archive sections despite there being an absolute mountain of classic games in the sky era you could add. Another really annoying feature of the sl+ is that when you select a club, only the highlights and player features appear, not any full matches making it frustrating to navigate. I bought it just before round 1when I already have sky as they had just dumped a bunch of archive GF/WCC/league games on there thinking it would be a regular thing but I've basically not touched the app since.
  6. So we now seem to be at the stage of these new rules where it's basically no change from last season, except 2 or 3 unlucky players are going to be made an example of. Be nice if they could at least let us know what the current rules are, since the only change I'm aware of was a minor change to the accidental head clashes with no indication they were going to backtrack on cards/bans. Between this and the reduction onn transparency surrounding no charge incidents, it's like they are going out of their way to confuse stakeholders at this point.
  7. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, just for the fun of listening to Baz and Tez try and pronounce it each week on comms
  8. Again maybe i'm missing something glaring here, but if they aren't getting any money from the stadium, aren't paying anywhere near the cap, can't afford their current budgets without additional top up loans on top of existing debts to the council...how will *some* additional revenue from the stadium allow them to pay fair rent and service all the previous debts. And as others have mentioned, there has also been the one off share scheme and several high value player sales just to maintain this already negative position.
  9. Prize money tends to be shared amongst players usually as bonuses, so performance doesn't really translate to increased cashflow unless the fans come through the doors. Which based on Hull KR providing 1200(as per their club announcement) of Salfords 5k gate last weekend, isn't happening.
  10. A club spokesperson said: "On this occasion, we have received financial support from the local authority to secure the financial sustainability of the club – and one reason we have received this is due to unnecessary delay and obstruction from the current opposition which has set the budgeted timeline back. "To challenge the perpetual false narrative that the club seemingly does not pay its way, we would also like to be clear that the club have paid and continue to pay rent on a monthly basis that is higher than any amount paid by any of the club’s previous ownership since moving into the Salford Community Stadium." Considering the previous stories about SRD failing to pay rent, that seems a very creative way of not admitting whether or not they are currently paying the full rent on their lease. £370k on top of £170k they haven't paid back from last year really isn't a good look and maybe I'm missing something but I don't see where the sums are adding up for SRD when they keep pointing to food and drink sales as being the thing to fill the hole in their budget. If you are already on a massively reduced wage bill in relation to the salary cap, and receiving additional loans to stay afloat, I don't see how getting a small % from concessions is going to suddenly turn them into a self sufficient SL club paying it's rent/ loans and a somewhere competitive salary cap level.
  11. Brian Carney did a pretty good job of explaining it in post match which even Jon Wilkin ended up agreeing with despite his initial fury. As part of the guidance on these types of tackles there were several factors given to all clubs at the start of the year Head in the correct position i.e. not in front of the tackler - In Friday's game Asiata's head was in the correct postion Initial point of contact on or below the knee - Asiata comes in just below the hip and slides down Mata'utia's leg Eye's down/not looking at the defender - Asiata was eyes down in this tackle so definitely meets this criteria Defenders feet off the floor/diving into the tackle - Asiata had his foot on the floor at the point of impact Attempt to wrap/shoulder charge - Asiata's right arm was outstretched in an attempt to wrap even if he wasn't successful in the wrap So based on those, only one of the criteria was met which is why it would have any gained a grade A.
  12. I'm assuming this is an indirect refence to my post, albeit completely missing the point of everything I said in favour of an absurd straw man argument against a position no one has taken.
  13. Is anyone ever happy about anything on Redvee? I've only browsed it a couple of times and found it to be an incredibly toxic echo chamber of a forum.
  14. Well the minutes are available now here (https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/docs/MATCH REVIEW PANEL MINUTES 4 MAR 2024.pdf) but unlike previous years, this season they are only including the charged incidents and not every incident they look at ( example here from last year where the incidents not charged are still included https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/docs/MATCH REVIEW PANEL MINUTES 02 10 2023.pdf). They really don't help themselves by making the whole process so opaque, if we could see what wasn't being charged and why it would at least help make sense of the application on the new laws. Take the below for example from the 59th minute of Friday's game, granted in no world do i think the Saints player intended to make contact with Moylan's head, however accidentally or not he did make initial contact with the head which has been ban worthy for Hurrell this week and others in previous weeks. I've seen a plethora of similar incidents including head contacts made by Leigh players(this isn't a witch hunt/moan about Friday) but I'm non the wiser as to what is going to be a charge or not come Monday.
  15. I'll be interested to see the minutes once they are available(says page not found currently when using the link). Would be interesting to see if they've even looked at some of the other head clashes or just the ones that were being posted on x/twitter.
