Thought Mauro looked very good going forward on Saturday, sure there are better props around but Christ if you think about some of the lightweight performances by the front rowers last season he is a world beater. Think the one player we all seem to over look who left in the off season is Sidlow and think he would have fitted into the Noble grand plan wonderfully.



As for Foran think he is a natural leader who despite joining the squad part way into the season is the main person talking when he on the field. There were times on Saturday where Wild was annonymous when words were needed and Foran was doing his job for him.



Sorry on that topic think we might have to look at dropping Wild as he offered very little on Saturday, pretty sure we must have a more effective #13 (I'd like to see Foran tried personally) as he is becoming more and more nothing but a blocker rather than the modern #13 who brings a bit creativity and guile to a team.

I would hope, when McPherson and Jewitt are fit again, Wild takes a back seat like Nero is. Nothing against Wild I still think he'd run his blood to water for us, but he just isn't competitive in SL anymore. Never in a month of Sundays does Foran have the physique or fitness for Loose Forward.



A Loose Forward needs the size to take in hit ups (sorry for the terminology, been watching the NRL) and good enough hands to perform as the extra pivot. Now we have Sneyd at FB there is no real need for another pivot, thinking too many chiefs and not enough Indians type scenario. Although he is overweight, he doesn't have the stature to play in the pack. So if he can't take hit ups and we don't need another pivot, he shouldn't be playing Loose Forward. Infact, I'm of the opinion for an elusive runner or the Paul Gallen style extra prop, but to find someone who can effectively do the latter is very difficult.

Of course it is. Your quota players must be among the best players in your team. Otherwise they are a waste of a spot.

Personally I'd be play Dixon at 13.

Fair point, I still don't believes he's as bad as people suggest. I wouldn't use a quota spot on him though.

Totally agree. Foran can barely move as it is, moving him to the pack would be a disaster.

Were Mauro and Foran sanctioned by the the Doctor and his team ?

If so a very bad selection.

Overweight unfit and lacking in skill or ideas.

Looks more like a Simms selection



Foran will never be a SO as long as I have a hole in my @rse

Mauro has a physique the same as Junior Langi's and about as much skill.

This is a new era for Salford and we should expect to get better players than these two.

It has been noted that had Simms signed either of these two, people would rightly be up in arms.

To me Foran seems to be another in the long line of we got the brother, to think just how fantastic the one at Manly is . Hope I'm wrong but.....

Foran has been released by every club he has been at, how long has he signed for ?

Cas have put an official complaint in about this.

Salford were redressing the balance asTansey should have been sent off

Pretty frustrating because we got NOTHING all night, then at the end we were piling the pressure on, Dixon was interfered with & the french plonker dreamt up a knock on, plus we were competing against a team with 1 more on the field.
