Amusing to see early bath calling for calm after slating Noble all season.

To all who are slating the management at Salford, the reason Sneyd is on loan at Cas is he was part of the Rangi deal, he will be back at the end of the season a better player. You all need to chill out we are not going to be champions over night sit back and enjoy the ride. Some of the reds supporters need a reality check back the team and stop all the negativity, some of the posted are way of the mark.

There's a lot of emotion floating around these posts. As frustrating as it is, we're in a better position than in the last few years and we have a team to watch. I'm enjoying the ride and never forget what we faced not so long ago. We're going to have poor games. Players are going to have stinkers. That's sport. Take a deep breath and keep on supporting.

Sorry but the "at least we have a team to watch" argument seems a bit of a cop out to me.

A team to watch that is 18 0 down after a quarter of an hour, cut apart by simple, straightforward rugby that we surely should be able to defend against - what on earth is going on?

I accept that two serious injuries were never going to help (and how cowardly and thuggish was the elbow into Greg Johnson's face after he'd just been patched up, no place for that, I hope the review panel pick it up) but it seemed to me when the going got tough none of our tough guys (with the exception of Morley's superb effort for his try) got going at all.

Nice to see the blind faith mantra still being trotted out. Don't comment on how poor we are, just support the team and club with no criticism!









Unless it's aimed at Noble, of course.

Utter rubbish I'm affraid, I defy anyone to justify Tim Smith's place in the team based on anything other than his reputation, don't care if it's Theo or not but we need a scrum halves who shows a little guile and passion for the jersey.



To me it was telling that when the protracted break for injury Huddersfield sent on a trainer to issue instructions and do some drills we in the main just stood in a line playing statues until Chase got hold of a couple of people and started barking a few orders.



We need desperately someone to shadow Hock around the pitch as yesterday every time he hit the defensive line he was stood looking to off load with often not a Salford player within reach, the worrying thing is more than once he just blindly off loaded.



I honestly thought when Mullaney took the first bomb aimed his way at full speed on the dive that it was going to be our day but we just looked like a team of absolute strangers. Huddersfield to their credit took us apart in a very professional fashion, I just hope that when Harris gets his chance to make a mark that is the type of performance we will be producing, my worry is how long Harris will be given to get it right.

Harris is no better than noble,this give him time wnt change,I'm afraid koucash and his bold statements are beginning to look very silly,we will be no where near top 6 as far to inconsistent.the crowds continue to drop as well only 5 there yesterday,the widnes game is massive now!

Talent Stalker is back.



Listen very carefully - I will say zis only wance. I criticised Nobles appointment with regard to his age (53) - his boring style of 5 drives and an Up & Under and to that you could add his portfolio of players he has acquired using the Chairmans money. 6 wins in 12 months (including 2 x London & 1 x Wakey) is just not good enough though strangely I would support his move 'upstairs' to which he would be better suited - unless it affected the work of Alan Hunte.



Many are on Harris's back already citing his Welsh performance (he used Wales based Amateurs and not Australians whose Great Grandad may have been incarcerated in Cardiff Prison before being transported to the Colonies). When at Crusaders he had to contend with a players revolt after non payment of their wage packets and you all realise that when a Rugby Mercenary hasnt been paid then performance wilts. So Iestyn goes to Wigan and learns from the Pie power house and hopefully we will reap the benefit over the next 18 months.



As for his coaching ideas and skills - just ask a random number of players what they think of him after just 10 days. The fans on his back are well wide of the mark.

Just remembered something from yesterday, couple of times in the second half before the game was obviously lost there was to be a scrum and we just ambled around and lost a good 30 seconds on each occasion, I know it's not much but the players should have been gusting a gut too get there and form the scrum!

Harris will be fine.

I'm not too fed up after last night.

We lost,deal with it.

The criticism that the players don't have their heart in it,is daft.

Bring in the kids,daft.

Huddersfield had a few breaks early on and created momentum.

As Harris said,when you're 18 points down after quarter of an hour it's uphill.

This team,indeed the whole project,is a work in progress.

There'll continue to be changes during the season,and at the end of it, but to hammer the players is bonkers.

Some will come through it,some will be cast aside, but let's look on the bright side .

That absolute shambles of a 5 minute period where we conceded back to back to back was the killer. We put points on the board but just couldn't get close thanks to Mullaney's pretty awful goalkicking. Add in the fact that we played almost half the game with only two interchanges and a player carrying a knock and it was never going to be our day. Huddersfield are for all intents and purposes a better team than us, despite their poor start to the year. Disappointing performance overall though.

It's not blind faith. I just have a grip on reality.



Nobody likes to see their team under perform and ours certainly is. We have not had a complete game this season yet. We're a quarter through the season with a brand new Club from top to bottom. Changes of personnel left right and centre. I know some people fell for the Dr's brand push pre-season, but to expect the bottom Club from last year turn into world beaters in nine games seems a little optimistic. With the exception of Widnes, we've beaten the teams around us from last season. Did anyone realistically think we were going to beat Wire, Saints, Hudds, and Hull before the season started? They would have been a bonus. So we're about on track really, even though we've played pretty rough throughout so far.



That's sport. It has ups and downs.



I just choose not to get my knicker's in a twist every time we lose.
