quote pleased with that, I think our two hardest games are the last two which with any luck we will be nearly there.

yes agree with that Redrum. Our perceived 2 hardest games coming right at the end of the 8's and hopefully by then we will have a minimum of 4 wins if not 5 and in good form. Could have been a lot worse.

We should be quite relaxed going into the final two games, expect us to win the first 5.

A rare wave of optimism has hit the Turkey.
Bottle it

I reckon we will end up with 8 points, with losses to Leigh, Widnes and Hull KR.. If we don't hit the ground running against Wakefield, I'll be starting the trenches for the battle!!!!!

Halifax away on a Saturday



I'm worried, very worried. We should have enough, but this is Salford.

I think Leigh will beat us home or away (they will bring huge away following and probably outnumber us), but we should be able to beat Bradford at away although it is far from a certainty. Halifax away and Sheffield home should be certainties. We've managed to beat Wakefield twice already, but only just anything could happen in that one. We never perform at Widnes and Hull KR is anyone guess.

Leigh don’t concern me (and I mean that in the least condescending tone possible) even after our earlier defeat to them this season in the cup. Don’t get me wrong, they’re a very good team and I fancy them to achieve promotion at Wakefield’ expense but I just cant see anything past a Salford win.

When we played them earlier this season, we were missing Chase, Hauraki and J.Griffin then we lost Dobson and Sa’u early which messed us up completely. We also had Wayne Godwin starting at 9 that day too. Even all that taken into consideration, it still took a crazy mistake from BJB which gifted them the win.

Widnes and Hull KR are the toughest games of the bunch, but our recent performances at both these grounds leaves me thinking we’ll win at least one of the two.

I agree completely JGR, I fancy us at home to just shade it. Momentum is key in rugby and if we can build some over the first few games then I honestly think we will all be thinking why was we at all worried. Were not a bad side we're just a self destructing penalty machine

If we are in the million pound game where will it be played?

It's played at the home ground of the team which finishes 4th.

We can usually rely on the players for that.

Would count on Leigh and Bradford being bankers!! The other 3 of the first 5 yes, but those two will be on a high!

Wouldn't, even.

That was the try before the winner..Do try and keep up..

The AJ will suit the Leigh style of rugby. Although I have to say I'm not at all optimistic for the Leigh game, I fear away at Hull KR and Widnes more. We have the players to win this competition. We need the mental strength.
Well, at least we still have a club.

So? My point was had BJB not given that stupid pass into Brierley's arms Leigh wouldn't have won. Momentum was well and truly with you following this.

No,not for me! you were still very well in contention even after the winner had been scored.Looking forward to the AJ,not as a test for a change,but as a cracking match.

My own personal view is that if we finish 6th or lose in the Million Pound game then we could well be finished.

Surely there is enough in that to give the players enough impetus to win every match.

I feel we will be OK and finish in the top 3 but doubt Marwan will hang around if the worst case scenario pops up.

Anyone else concerned that all round apathy could be our biggest hurdle for the upcoming 2 home games? We really need to up our game as a fanbase to make home advantage count. Win these 2 and we will be well on the way to survival. We need a good turnout for both games however I fear both games could come and go before people realise that we are in a battle for to stay up.

Anyone had an email from the club to let people know about the three extra home games that weren't on the fixture lists circulated at the start of the season?

Anyone heard anything from the Club full stop?

Biggest games for Salford in a number of years and the silence is deafening. No build up. No excitement. No passion. The odd bit of news about the Academy lads. Nothing. Zip. Zero.

It feels like the Club can't be d.

The way your team seems to be run at the moment i would not count any game as a banker!

So much for your Banker

Do you have any more bankers in the next 4 games
