As for salford and MPG impressed that you have such insight to know what’s going to happen in 10 months time.

Surely, even optimistic Salford fans can see that their side will struggle in the coming season.
The MPG might be their only chance of staying in SL.

It’s quite funny, it’s possible that the MPG might actually mean nothing! Are the clubs not meeting in Feb to decide on future structure?

No sexy signings this year as in everyone’s minds only big names mean we can deliver. It’s rather lamentable that buying in players is seen as the only way of developing. I do however share the lack of optimism as there is little in the way of big names and unfortunately no matter how good young kids are they take time to settle in. Doesn’t mean they won’t deliver though and as ever sport is a journey.

Unfortunately unless the magic money tree bears fruit we are in reality in little state (as a fully professional entity) to enter SL.

I will enter the season looking to see what the squad can deliver on the basis of my expectations. If they deliver that or better then it’s a good season. My expectations of the current squad could be first or they could be fifth, what matters is those we have play to or above their ability and play for each other.

SR think it’s a sensible approach. The “sexy signings”over the last few years all seemed unable to perform as expected. Yep every squad needs some grizzly old heads but maybe it’s time to embrace the youth.
You are right about the magic money tree, until it bears fruit then DH is it.
Month to go to game 1 hope we are all looking forward to it.
