Saints have the pedigree and are not phased by the big occasion, they have definitely got what it takes to win, Saints by 12.

First it was Dupree, and now possibly Croft, Brierley and Lafai all leaving Salford who get other clubs rejects in return, I'd be livid if I had invested in Salford earlier this year when they were saying we no longer sell our best players, shocking on many levels.
-
If Croft goes then I think those people who donated some of their hard earned money to Salfords cause earlier in the year have every single right to be aggrieved, the club appears to have been acting somewhat dishonestly by saying it is no longer a selling club, Dupree and seemingly now Croft being sold makes a mockery of that particular statement, its simply not good enough and lacks integrity.

Croft to Leigh wouldn't be a shock given the never ending financial issues at Salford, the rumour however has been rubbished by the Salford ceo but that's no surprise, given they need to sell season tickets and promote the club in a positive way.

Harry Huddersfield is a football town and always has been. Fartown have only had one brief spell since the Fifties ( a lifetime ago ) when crowds showed any signs of increasing to any degree and that was under Nathan browns tenure, We were playing football that was good to watch, we were winning our share of games and people were responding, Sadly that all went belly up but the lesson is clear to see. Under P Anderson we won the hubcap playing a different style of football altogether and it did nothing for our crowds.
Regards Mr Davy and it costing him a fortune, I wouldn't worry about it mate , He has a few fortunes at his disposal, Nobody made him buy the Giants unless his good lady wife did, and you can rest assured you don't get as rich as he is by being a fool and not know what your doing.
People forget ( of perhaps never knew ) that he also saved Huddersfield Town from extinction as well and ultimately got a lot of grief for his trouble, For me he deserves to be honored in some way but he is known mostly for his link to the Giants and the profile of League is very very low in contrast to football so his contributions will more than likely be ignored.
Huddersfield is a big town with it's surrounding areas, and a successful side playing good rugby would get a reasonable crowd but there have been so many false dawns people have just turned away from League, They have to be won back and for me |It's all about whats on offer on the field, far more than cheap tickets and so forth ( although they may well help)
Just my opinion of course and there will be plenty of different ones.
Good post, don't think the dour displays on the pitch are doing much for the cause, perhaps Mr Davy has miscalculated somewhat regarding the coach?

Salford are 2/3 quality bulldozing props short of being where they aspire to be, even without injuries.

Sacking coaches will not help us one bit, we need stability, we won't get it by sacking another coach because he hasn't won us a trophy yet, everytime we do we then have to start again and undo everything thhe previous coach did and put in place, Watto was given 5 years to sort the club out, we excelled ourselves last year.
I will judge Watto on the state he leaves the club in not on how many trophies he's won us, if he gets the culture and attitude right we're onto a winner, that's what makes winning teams not just hoping a new coach will get lucky.
Sorry, I disagree, if the coach is not good enough (he isn't) then you replace him with someone else, if in your workplace someone was continually under performing and not good enough at his job then do you stick with him or get someone else? The same principle applies.

He's going nowhere, he has a job to do here and the board and him want him to do it!
Then the board are culpable, he's an incredibly limited coach.

Will be a surprise if KR don't qualify for the play offs from here, equally will be a surprise if Watson is still the Huddersfield coach next season, there's definitely better coaches out there for the Giants, got a feeling Powell will be the new coach
-
Privileged to watch him play at Salford in that fantastic team in the 70s, a gentleman off the pitch and a rugby legend on the pitch, a true great of the game.

14th defeat of the season for Huddersfield, that's lights out on their season, and arguably the tenure of the coach too.
-
Has to be replayed, but from the minute the lights went out and at 16-12, not sure how Huddersfield can complain about that scenario.
-
Wigan to win the GF, Wakefield relegated, Huddersfield and Watson to part company by mutual consent.

Season practically done and dusted for Hudds should they lose this one, next 2 fixtures Leigh and Hull KR...
-
Great memories watching Eric at the willows on a Friday night back in the day, lovely guy.
-
I vaguely remember the hype about Fulham back then, fair play that the club has kept going now under the name of the London Broncos, terrific era for Rugby League, Ron Marler on sunday night reading the day's results on the radio, and the great Alex Murphy still cutting his teeth as a coach.
-
Salford too good for Hudds, is the Watson question back on the table? If they don't make the play offs I think they'll make a change.
-
Savelio leaving Hull, would be a good signing for most clubs, think Salford should be all over this one tbh.
-
Wigan v Catalan for the GF.
Castleford relegated.

7 defeats on the spin for Salford and of course it's the referees fault for every one of them....

I know Salford have had something of a purple patch in the last few years but moving forward something has to give, it's become a 'Super League' club in all but name.
