Yup, it's in the papers today. I can only assume, with them being amateur level, that he'll be working for Salford during the day and training with them of an evening? And playing at weekends when it doesn't conflict with Salford duties? His brother Karl also plays there I believe.

I really can't see him giving up a job as assistant coach at Salford to play 3rd division Rugby Union. Unless he's got himself sacked already, which would be some going, even for Sean.

I know he was rather drunk the night before he started his Salford job.

First Home game should be Widnes as it's a big local derby and they would easily sell all there allocation filling the stadium? and we should win with Scott Moore giving away his usual high quota in penalties?

I think that'd be a pretty fitting game if it weren't to be a Wigan derby.

Newly promoted side, pretty local rivals, and fitting as you played in their stadium for the last year. They'll easily sell out the away end and you should still win the game pretty comfortably.

I've heard Tom Burgess' name being mentioned a couple of times now.

Can't see it, but that would be brilliant.

Why would he leave the bulls for saints ?

Because it's closer to Australia if he goes via America than it is from Bradford perhaps?

If he was staying in this country I could perhaps see it. But with his Ma saying she's considering moving to Aus to be with 'all the boys' I'd imagine he'll see out next season with the Bulls before heading over the pond.
