Harry, the problem with the Doc at Salford wasn't the cap it was because he wanted to be in charge of it all. He signed a number of "big names" most of them had troubles such as Hock and Chase. He give no thought of of building a team just wanted players.
He took on an ex council employee who has, since, seen the failure of a number of clubs, he appointed Noble and Harris as coaches and the on field product was awful.
Blease came in and his impact can not be understated, Take Hastings as an example, here was a talented player with some issues and missed his family, Blease had him to tea every week with his family. Hastings felt so strongly about the club that after his move he had a mascot walk out with him wearing Salford colours
Has Myler got that touch? Has he got the management skills/ time will tell but a bloke just throwing money at the club won't solve Hull's issues. personally Houghton would have been a better choice.

Cullen had that very odd delivery, over enunciated his words and using 5 when 1 would do. Didn't enjoy it.

And you'd no doubt get another great coach that gets 150% out of 75% budget.
The real person we should be after is the person who's finding the coaches...
Leave Ian out of this

Not getting too excited. Our last coach also turned down Hull, claimed he was staying next season then promptly left for Huddersfield

You can have both, it's no different than clubs like Wigan.
Not giving full control to the coach you can't.

I'd say he is in a strong position to make the right for him with the autonomy that he needs.
Then what is the point of Myler?

It's almost expected that a club in crisis will try to raid poor little Salford. If he goes no doubt he will raid the players as well.
There is a limit to my patience.

Messy blighters aren't they?

The answer probably lies within you. If something happened to him and you remain estranged would you be full of regret?
It will be a long road back but if you do decide to try maybe agree to meet somewhere just for a coffee. It's a bit like a first date (modern version)
You may find you don't want more. At least you tried.

We have a nestcam and it's been so interesting watching the bird build a nest. It seemed to spend a lot of time bringing in stuff only to remove it all later.
She is now laying eggs at the rate of 1 per morning, it seems they don't incubate until the last egg is about to be laid.
2 eggs so far.

Craigie? Cracking player.
Maybe

Guess it depends on the player.
Scott Taylor always looked like he was carrying extra timber. I loved his application and attitude at Salford on loan. He never let anyone down.
What was that half back called at Widnes built like a little barrel, Widnes fans had mixed feelings about him.

Just watched the game, Paul Rowley summarising and what a sterling job he did in my opinion.
I came to the game later on and wasn't sure who it was for a minute. It was nice to have 2 on on mike who didn't feel the need to fill every single second of air time.

Charles reminds me of when a 17 year old Richard Horne was our best player.
His dad was a Salford fav too.

How hard can it be to communicate though?
A simple list of incidents considered with a standard explanation of why no charge such as "no contact to head" or "sin bin sufficient"
Then a charge is "Grade A" and a quick explanation of why with the usual phrase.

At the Salford v Leigh game a trainer ran on to help Nene McDonald break his fast. I saw the same in a football game.
Do we have many Muslim players?

The Chinese consulate attended the game yesterday.

Being a Salford fan I've seen too many awful games. The Noble or McRae eras stick in the mind. I was debating today which was worse. I say McRae Husband says Noble.

Seeing him play here I'd say he wouldn't want to play reserve grade. I am sure clubs will line up to sign him.
He was a model pro in the UK, question is why can't aussies get the same from him. Is he just an easy scapegoat

Gil Dudson to Salford on loan for the rest of the season.
I thought he might be a decent addition when we signed him. I was wrong.
Not sure how I feel about this. We give away too many pens as it is. His addition won't help.
Singleton is out for a while so I guess this is cover.

I'd invest in a decent marketing/media budget. That would benefit all clubs. Our media and marketing is awful regular shooting yourselves in the foot.
I'd also like to throw money at Salford

Grey at the bottom or the top?
the bits covering his feet (bottom) the top was the regulation Cats socks. there was another player had different socks.

Probably footless socks rather than cut off. They'd more than likely fray.
Some players have socks with exra grip on the soles. Gives them a better stability in play. The footless socks are just for fancy.
Garcia seemed to have grey under socks with the Cats team socks over the top.
Paul Rowley offered contract to be new head coach at Hull FC...

Salford did have points deducted for his financial mismanagement. They had points for breach of the cap and again when they defaulted on the CVA.
