If they avoid too many injuries they should be good enough to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley30 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be mindful of a new coach and structures that need to bed in. Also starting fixtures are important, if we can get a good start then confidence grows quickly and we saw how u can ride that wave 2 seasons ago.

Anything above upto saints and Wigan is beatable so all those places are up for grabs. Just depends which team get on a run and can build confidence whilst having limited injuries.

My view too, Saints and Wigan to battle out for the top 2, then it’s anyone’s fight for positions 3-9, except for the bottom 3, a close fight between Wakey, Leigh and Hull KR. Funny feeling Leeds and Huddersfield will take positions 3 and 4, so if lucky with injuries and some momentum Salford could just as easily be fighting for 5th, or be as low as 9th. Either way, not near the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hull kr and Salford’s squads are a similar strength imo with Wakefield looking slightly better. If Leigh string a few wins together they are the 3 sides who’ll be worried as along with Leigh they’ll mate up the bottom 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Good luck to him, hope he does well, he had plenty of chances at Wire but ultimately not good enough. Hopefully a change of scenery gives him the boost he needs and he progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the emoji reflect your personality? I think being picked and not being being in the side has a really bad outcome on confidence and progress. I've thought for ages when he's been out of favour that I'd like Watto to get hold of him, now I'm glad he'll be coached by Danny Orr. More or less yes! 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No his dad, played against and with him, always thought he needed a running side to his game because he did not put defenders in two minds as he more or less was going to pass or kick. Hope the coaches at Salford get more out of him, always like to see local lads doing well and Salford have a few of our former junior players.

Hope the coaches at Salford get more out of him, always like to see local lads doing well and Salford have a few of our former junior players. He has some ability, and I think he needs the right players around him. When things were going well at Wire and Ratchford, Clark, Brown or whoever was his partner were pulling the strings he could do a job, just moving the ball on and he worked hard. If those players weren't doing it, he went to pieces. His error count went up and the quality of kicks went down. I found him frustrating as you saw the odd glimpse from him where the odd pass he threw was Briers-esque, but he just never kicked on at all. But he has a lot of good memories, LLS, Grand Finals, including a try, and that Challenge Cup win in 2019. He has been part of some very good results for Wire.
