Early days in his Salford tenure but alarming given the quality at his disposal, there is quality in that team, that he cannot get a tune out of them, defeat to Leigh next week and the alarm bells will be going off if not already, in hindsight, wonderful thing, maybe Salford after Watson should have gone for a coach with experience/pedigree, they look like they need a Tony Smith type coach there, not a rookie.
-
Salford from 1 to 13 are better than what they have shown so far, the problem seems to be the inept coaching, Marshall cannot get a tune out of them.
-
Watson under pressure yet??
-
Side story but I can see why Watson jumped ship.

Watson back at Salford next year? stranger things have happened.
-
I know its early days but Marshall looks out of his depth as a 1st team coach, seems cautious and does not want players like Escare (who cant even get in the side) and Sarginson to express themselves instead of playing them to their strengths, also the pack looks below par and injuries to Mossop and Ikahihifo would leave them quite threadbare, can see Salford and Marshall doing a "mutual consent" before the year is out and Salford going for a coach with some pedigree.
-
Hull look good, championship standard by Salford though, poor all round, and dull as dishwater tactics from the coach.

Hes only been there a few weeks to be fair to him.
Cant get a tune out of some quality players just doesnt bode well tbh.
-
For a team containing the likes of Brown, Lolohea, Watkins, Sarginson, Salford offer nothing in attack, thats down to the coach am afraid.
-
Salfords new coach, unlike their previous one, you suspect is not as enterprising, if Salford lose this and there next 2/3 games I think the alarm bells could go off. Hull by 18.

Dont quite get the doom and gloom over a club that has been one of the stand out performers over the past 2 years in Salford, current squad, at least on paper, is arguably the strongest they have had and certainly stronger than the 2019 version, if they signed half a dozen from Saints and Wigan am sure they would still get written off, they are simply not the whipping boys anymore, theyve proved that in the last 2 years.

Yeah I think he is a good young player and a change on environment and pressure will hopefully do him well. Squad is looking stronger than last year with good balance. Top 8 should be achievable and am looking to see how Marshall grows into the role as he appears to have a strong back room staff in place now to support him.
Top 5 tbh, best Salford squad I have seen in many years, quality and depth.

Not an out an out hooker but can cover.
Showed plenty of promise at Warrington but never fulfilled his potential, hope he does well at Salford
Should go well if he can recapture is form from 2 years ago, on paper Salford have a very strong squad now, Taylor,Lussick, Watkins, Lolohea, Brown, Livett, Burgess, Sarginson etc, can see them definitely up there challenging again.
-
Salfords new recruit, versatile player but can he play hooker? looks like an area where Salford should have strengthened, overall though their squad is looking really good,

Salford have a better squad now than they did when they got to the Grand Final, for me. While there were a couple of real standout players in that side that got to Old Trafford, there’s more depth to this squad.
Agreed, the Grand Final squad were very reliant on Hastings who pulled up trees for Salford that season, current squad looks fantastic on paper, Watkins and Sarginson international class centres, Inu a points machine, while Taylor and Lussick are definitely upgrades on Dudson and Yates, Salford look a shoe in for top 4.
-
looking in great shape ahead of the new season, plenty of pace, power, strength and experience right throughout the squad, plenty of depth too outside an already formidable looking 17 if you look at the likes of Sio, Williams, Kear, Mccarthy, Atkin, Luckley, Lannon, Roberts etc

Did they sign pauli pauli on a permanent deal, I thought it was just a loan last season?
I believe so, yes, permanent deal.

SKS, not sure how you formulate your "Impartial" opinions? unless you are in possession of a super league coaching badge....
-
Salfords pack even more powerful with the arrival of Darcy Lussick.
Escare, Burgess, Watkins, Sarginson, Inu, Lolohea, Brown,Mossop, Ackers, Lussick, Livett, Ikahihifo, Taylor, Pauli Pauli, Wells, Greenwood, Costello.
Thats a very competitive looking 17 in anyones book.
-
Mossop, Taylor, Pauli Pauli, Ikahihifo, Livett, would not say Salford have a weak pack, the real problem if no more quality additions up front is probably strength in depth.
-
Confirmed on a 2 year deal for Salford, big name signing, undoubted quality, 1 or 2 more solid acquisitions and Salford should go well.

Seen enough of Livett to know there’s a lot of potential in him; hopefully Marshall et al can bring it out of him.
What’s Salford’s 17 looking like at that moment then?
Escare, Burgess, Watkins, Sarginson, Inu, Lolohea, brown, Mossop, Ackers, Yates, Livett, Ikahifo, Mccarthy, Pauli, Greenwood, Burke, Costello

I do not think Marshall is the right man for Salford, however, they are missing the likes of Burgess, Taylor, Sarginson just now while Escare is being overlooked, get everyone back fit they could be knocking on the door of the play offs, however, Salford I feel just need a coach with a bit more nous and pedigree.
