He had also been in Puccinis at lunch so don't read much into that.

Do you just hang around the stadium hoping to see Marwan or players? Seems to me your always player watching, bit creepy to me, I've been stadium numerous occasion during week and never seem to see anyone. Must get my overcoat and bino's when I picked up tickets.

Whilst we are on 'Wane watch' I should declare I saw him enjoying a meal in Evuna on Deansgate a couple of Saturdays ago. I don't suppose that means anything. Other than he enjoys a nice meal out every now and again.

You need to open your eyes when you visit the stadium on non match days.

You also need to keep your eyes peeled at the stadium on match days too because most of them have been unnoticeable all season.

Welcome to hell, for who? Not the opposition it’s for us mugs with blind faith that keep turning up to watch the dross.

I'm a member of the gym at the stadium and when I go I spend the first hour or so on a machine which by coincidence you get too see people coming and going. I could say I often see the Salford and Sale players having a natter so there must be some exchange of players when in reality they are all professional rugby players who share the playing facilities at the stadium.

That's the spirit.

Forgive me but only 10 wins in the last 52 games has a kind of bearing on how I feel about things right now.

Surely this has been the norm for a very long time? It should become second nature to a Salford fan. We're gluttons for punishment!

Don't think he has gone as someones just shown me an article new online today that he has written. Apparently Brierley is set to sign from Leigh. Feel bloody old though as didn't know until reading that I used to play with his Dad at LH.

No by Salford's historical standards results over the past couple of years have unfortunately hit a new low.

One thing I will say watching this season is that we get too watch a couple of world class players in the team. For me watching HH and Hock is a real pleasure and I'm loving the way Sa'u seems to be allergic to a side step so he favours the steam roller approach.
