Salford – Great ExpectationsThe ubiquitous Marwan Koukash has deliberately strengthened the player roster at Salford in the glare of the media spotlight. His constant quest for column inches has kept Salford Red Devils and Rugby League in the red top headlines, but is his hand-built side already overrated?
We have seen a number of high profile signings arrive at Salford over the last few months including Rangi Chase, Adrian Morley and Gareth Hock. The key question at this juncture is how good a squad do they have in the context of the rest of Superleague?

Not so sure why this thread is on here but I for one will think they will go well and most certainly join us, Catalan, Hull for the fight for 6th to 8th.
Quality half backs and a good set of forwards will give a lot of the big teams problems.

I foresee a turbulent season over at Salford, as there would appear to be no room for a "bedding in" period, and so many new faces may well need half a season to gel. Strength in depth may also find them out when some of the older heads pick up injuries.
I do agree they should be in the mix for the 5-8 slots, but there are plenty of sides with those aspirations before a ball is kicked. I do think the author is right about the bookies being hoodwinked though!

dr frankenstein (or he looks more like the hood from thunderbirds) seems to be shooting his mouth off a lot lately and dictating to the RFL over expansion it will not win him many friends. Ill predict 8th or 9th as hock and chase are over rated

I do agree abought hock and chase Hock is a nutter at times, and has for chase if we had not picked him for England we might have got to the world cup final he looked good in a poor cas side  |

it'll certainly be interesting for Salford fans thats for sure.
MK has stated that he'll break the salary cap but will the RFL bother to check? or dare too lol
its asking a lot for that many new players to gel quick enough to finish up as high as 5th/6th IMO.

You don't really worry about forwards gelling as much, Hock and Hanson have already played alongside each other. It's going to be on their halfbacks where all the pressure is. Personally I think they compliment each other really well but only time will tell.

How do you work that one out on the basis he was dropped for the Semi? |

He should have not played at all then our half backs might have got it together faster and we might have gone on to win the semi but we will never know will we  abought it |

id have Rangi Chase over Travis Burns every day of the week. He's a maverick type of player, off the cuff, not many of those left these days, the way the game is so strutcured.
