Feleti Mateo played about half a season, scored one try. Got himself into some really good positions, just kept dropping the ball.
Frustrated the hell out of the coaching staff.

As I understand it our Middle 8s game will be played on Sundays. Televised games will be played on Saturdays.
Super 8 games will be the Thursday and Friday televised games. Non televised Super 8 games are as arranged.

The thing with feleti was that was then and this is now, he can't have been doing too bad as he has been coping ok in the NRL comp.
I hope we stick with Sundays for our home games, as for the away games I believe they are still to be planned, I hope we get Salford weekend of the 17/18 Army RL have their round of the inter services that weekend with the main inter service game being a curtain raiser. So Salford WILL be at home that weekend if it's us then I get double bubble.

This is my understanding too, i had heard all teams are guaranteed one home game on tv too but thinking about it that can't work with a seven week comp and one TV game a week, one team can't be broadcast at home. Maybe we are just guaranteed to be on tv once.

[quote][Salford have added Felita Mateo and one of the Burgess bros to strengthen the squad considering they are only in middle 8 coz of points deduction/quote]

Even without the 6 points deduction Salford would have only had 20 points making three teams on the same total. Therefore Salford would have entered the top 8 on for/against scores only.

They still would have been in the top 8, which means they have actually performed better this season than the table shows.

TV games are Saturday at 3pm I believe. Whether they end up doing sky sport xtra again like last year remains to be seen but hopefully they do.
