We've played Wigan twice, KR and Leigh probably the best three teams and Wire and Catalan away plus two energy zapping cup games against the best two teams, so to be sat 4th is very good with no 2nd rowers. Future is bright if we can win 2/4, 3/4 away games we be in a great position, plus two much needed rest weeks in the next six weeks, get some bodies back. Club will have to make a decision on Olly Holmes if he's not back in next 8 weeks IMO. 

Not sure what you mean. I think it’s right that derbies are avoided at MW. Salford must complete their season with who they can use as players. They’ll have blooded some good youngsters by the end of the season whether they play at Salford or elsewhere.

I think attitude to our current status depends on how you are as a person. I feel upper mid table would be a great finish. Must think back to last season before being unhappy with this. I dreaded going the MKM now I always have hope. As has been said we’ve played some good teams, have struggled with injuries and possibly had some poor decisions against us. The ‘mistake’ made has been showing glimpses of the potential. Once we can get consistency which is practice practice get some luck with injury and decisions we will be well up there.
We have upgrades for next season too. The doom and gloom comes off that Wigan defeat also Rovers defeat but fails to see the big picture imo

Started the season hoping for 8th, so the season to date has been better than expected. My revised hope is that we now make the Play Offs. That would be a great turnaround and a solid foundation for further improvement next season.

As quite a few on here have already said, probably the biggest plus point of the season so far has been the turnaround in fitness, attitude and commitment from the very depths of despair that we all plunged into last year.


Around this time twelve months ago there was a lot of talk coming out of the club about 'culture change'. This in turn was being used to excuse away the fifty point hammerings that we were having to endure on a seemingly weekly basis!


In the space of approximately half a pre-season Cartwright and his coaching staff brought about this so-called 'culture change' and, what's more, we didn't have to stand/sit through a endless series of ritual humiliations while they did it.


Amazing what happens when experienced people with a clear working plan are put in place in the right positions in a sporting club. Who'd thought it eh, experienced quality staff delivering on the job they set out to do while enhancing the business. I'm amazed no-one's ever thought of it before!!!    

Great last post. We are embarking on a journey to use current parlance. What a start no
 excuse for negativity at all. Yeah we missed tackles were tired got a yellow card. But what a change its great -no room for miserable posts must look at big picture
