It definately looks a very useful squad, very youthful, very hungry lets hope with a years extra experience in superleague our younger players of last year can bring on the new youth to simular levels they achieved

Anyone know anything about the contracts of the players I've got in bold at the moment. I'm assuming that they're all pretty much here next season so either they've signed new ones or I was just wrong about the years....?

Im not, if someone could work out the average age of that squad, Alker, Littler and Talau are the only over 30's in the squad

Which could work in our favour, The rest are young hungry players with point to prove, And alot of them have been discarded by other Clubs and will want to repay our faith. And if it works then other youngsters from other clubs will see our club as a place where youth will be given its oppertunity

With them all being young their experiance will be limited yes, but fitness will be on our side, Youth has proven that they play with no fear so big away games we wont see as different from others they will hopefully relish the occasion lets just hope they are told to play like we know they can at times during the last campaign

I agree totally, lots of people getting all negative about our transfer dealing, players who are youthful have uaually not achieved anything in the game, we at salford city reds are giving them the chance to perform at the highest level with others who are in the simular position, surrounded by legends in the game like alan hunte and shaun mcrae passing on their knowledge who knows where we can go

Add to the fact the stadium is coming with the majority of the squad young and hungry we could in theory in 5 years be competing at the very top level week in week out.

all we need is a hero,somebody to take us to that next level, he might be already here he might be on his way we shall wait and see

I see the only problem being we don't have a leader on the park besides Alker, with Paul gone and now that time is taking it's toll on Mal we face the prospect of having periods of the game when we have no leader on the park, for me we need a old head second row in the Cartwright/Panapa mold to come on, steady the ship and use nowse as much as brute force.
