From 21st July to the last game on 21st September we have two home games. That is an absolute joke and those in charge need to give their heads a shake.

We also have 4 home matches on the bounce from early march when the weather could be bad and effect the attendance

There are no easy games anymore. Even Wakey coming back in now stronger than they were the last time they were in the league. Everyone seems to be have improved their squads.

we have improved our squad when you look at the people we have let go to others we have brought in but anyone can see we are still light in the forwards love to hear the club as been proactive and signed at least Two

Nine out, three in does not inspire that the squad has improved.

Think it’s going be a case of go with what we have for first 5 games then see who’s available.
Listening to Jepson interview that’s how I see it anyway
Thought we might of gone for Kennedy even if it was just a year deal.

Jepson said he prefers a smaller squad with a few youngsters sprinkled in.
Also sounds like there’s no props or second rows out there.
IMG have put us back in recruitment.

With having an abundance of home games early on our season could be well over before we shore the squad up if thats the case.

Yep don’t see many wins coming with our forwards.
That’s why I’d like to see Kennedy on a year deal.

Mr Jepson on the podcast among other things does say we are looking to strengthen the forwards, if you have not heard the podcast please do

We absolutely need a prop and a second row prior to the season as a bare minimum. The pack as it is will not be competitive.

That was my take. Don’t remember anything about playing 5 matches first, more about recruiting when there’s someone available.

Sounds to me like jepsons made these promises about been competitive and improving but yet to back his word on doing so. No forwards around? Come on, offer Salford a small fee for some of there forwards. I’m sure they would accept the cash.

Have to disagree . Salford won't release anyone until they know whether they will get their Central Funding early . If they do then they will be keeping all of their players .

We still have a quota spot spare and I am sure that we will be looking overseas for a prop/second rower. These things can just take time to finalise . Main thing is that we get the right players , even if that takes a little longer .

I can’t believe anyone can twist what Jepson said today into him going ‘back on his word’ particularly if they’ve bothered to listen to what he said.

To be honest muck I don't unless we sign 3 decent forwards on.
