It was clearly set in stone,
As the gloom, the sodden gloom cast over Manchester, we made our way to the ground. Apprehension abound, I switched the radio on, it jumped to Slack City radio and straight up came.
The skies darkened, but the mood was other wise. It seemed right.
KR are a good side Clearly should be in the mix come the autumn, but that Salford performance has certainly warmed me this late winter.
As a side, near was a gang of Germans, who it transpired where on a "Sports wochenende/ Weekend," taking in not just SOlly, but the games at Huddersfield Town and Burnley FC.
At the end, all smiles and I heard the cries of "Ja das was extraordinary! and "Das war gehr gut." Yeah these lads were mightily impressed. So was I.
Anyway enjoy the moment as much challenging tasks in Merseyside await.
Pleased to meet you.
87% completion rate for Salford, das is gud ya!

Lemmings jumping off cliffs was an entirely fictious story made up by Walt Disney, and that reminds me:
'Whats the differrence betweeen Bing Crosby and Walt Disney?'
'Bing sings, but Walt Disney'.
Have a nice day.

Its going to be very tight, but I predict that: Rervers fans will shout 'Forward' 4 million times, the ref will ignore them and Salford go on to win by a golden point.
Deja vu

But back to the game today, having watched the Giants whenever they have been on TV, today was the best I have seen them perform, and in my opinion it was because they had to be expansive so the Watson coaching manual was discarded and the player's got on with playing Rugby League football.
That's the 'trying cicumstances' I was referring to Harry. Watson is a one trick pony, 5 up the jersey, kick it and hope for a mistake. He's got the money to buy creative players, he buys them: Connor, Fages and Lolohea and then doesn't know what to with them. None of the 3 mentioned improved under him. He was an honest hard working journeyman of a player with no pace or special ball skills and that is reflected in his coaching.
A nice chap though.

14th defeat of the season for Huddersfield, that's lights out on their season, and arguably the tenure of the coach too.
Oh no, 'got to remark on Watto's future, I think he's doing a decent job in very trying circumstances and Davy Crocket should stick with him for at least another decade.

Red Devils by 3 scores, as we are back to an almost full side, and it's the same side for 3 games now.
I admire the positiveness of the Wakey fans, but Salford are back on form and aiming for the top 6, I think that's too much for Wakey to handle.

Haven't caught anything old boy, I was replying anyway
Who are this "Shudds" you speak highly of?
MeastyBaby, I'm going to the game tomorrow night, come up and introduce yourself, I'll sit right in the middle of the main stand, I'll be easy to see there's always plenty of space there.

Gocha!!
Knew you'd react MeastyBaby, you're a easy catch for any fisherman!
Now just put your head forward and I'll administer the last rites with the priest and put you out of your misery.
BTW All losing runs must come to an end, and Friday against Shudds/Fartown is the perfect place for us to start winning ways again.
Now don't react MeastyBaby, you'll only hurt your lip again.

Shudds 0 Salford 28 has a nice ring to it, with Ian Watson standing on the touchline, arms folded, wearing his cap and looking like a schoolboy who doesn't know where his next lesson is.
Is the match at The John Smith's Stadium or Fartown btw? The Shudds fans always seem a bit confused as to where they actually are.

Reality Check News report:
It's been 5 years now since Leigh Leopards last won a match and the Leigh owner 'Spotty', previously known as Derek Morency Beaumont, has just announced that he is folding the 2nd division club forever, selling his decking business and starting up a leotard making business in the town by bringing cheap labour from Wigan. He doesn't think the leotard business will take Leigh by the short n curlies, but the thought of wearing a leotard each day and all day is so, so attractive.
-
The highlight for me was seeing Dekker 'scent marking' the Wembley pitch at the end.

I've changed my mind on the result of the game on Sunday as I'm so impressed by the convincing arguments put to this forum by the Leotards fans as to why Salford needn't show up beacuse Leigh are so much better and a whopping 4 points further up the table!
Leigh by a massive score is a certainty and you Leythers can relax as Sunday is a foregone conclussion.

Leotards to be disappointed
Red Devils by 2 scores.

Crazy result! Not for the first time, the bottom of the league is more interesting than the top.
A 'Trinity' of wins, well done x 3!!!
And they have a very good chance at 'Shouldersfield' next week, and if they do win, I think Dr Watson's life support will be cut off.
-
Who knows who will win this one, in this 'topsy turvey' season?
2 weeks ago the Leeds fans were calling for their Coach to get the sack, now Leeds will sweep everyone before them, apparently.
Salford will show a reaction to a very poor performance last weekend, or will they?
Is red cabbage, green grocery?

I like both of those grounds. Wakefield Trinity's Belle Vue has been in use since the late 1870s and I think I heard it is the oldest professional sports (or rugby??) ground in the world. I'm delighted Wakey are redeveloping it rather than moving.
Reminds me of 'This Sporting Life' a wonderful 'kitchen sink' film with a darkly menacing Richard Harris set at Belle Vue in the early 60's. Based on the book by David Storey, Rachel Robert's performance is moody, sexy and the ground itself is atmospheric and just as big a dump as it is today.

Quite agree that you can only beat whats in front of you and Wakefield did that comprehensively, but the league positions of the 2 clubs concerned suggest that one played above their station and the other played below their station, i.e. 4 league points v 20 league points.
-
Well played Wakefield against a woeful effort from Salford.

'Good to see that optimism is finally starting to blossom in West Yorkshire.
And that reminds me:
'How can you tell an optimistic West Yorkshire man from a pessimistic West Yorkshire man?
Simple, an optimistic West Yorkshire man looks at your shoes when he's talking to you.

I'll be a close game and I think Tyler Dupree will be provoked by 'Big Bopper' Fifita to see if he can get him sent off, afterall it worked for him against Leigh.
Talking of Leigh, the main predictions article on the home page of totalrl.com says this game is taking place at the Leigh Sports Village. Think I'll go now.

A difficult game for us, but I think Salford will win by 8.
'Looking forward to it, along with our 500-700 fans, all crammed into muckymunksy's gob,...I mean mini-bus.
