Sau's FB post recently suggests he's looking forward to next season at Salford. His comment:

'To my brothers thats leaving us I wish you and your family nothing but the best next year!'

Leaving us are the key words.

Just my thoughts.

I just hope there isn't loads of changes next season as i think the last 3 seasons we bought 8-10 players.

I agree it doesn't help when you make too many signings. The squad is relatively young compared to most SL teams so I think there is plenty of potential for improvement. I'd obviously be looking at a replacement centre for Griffin, a decent young half back as extra cover, another big prop to replace Phil Joseph and a quality hooker to replace Tommy Lee. (Who's unfortunately always injured)

I think if we can keep hold of the key players in this squad and with a few decent additions we could go well again. My biggest worry is the longer term impact of losing a respected figurehead like Sheens. I'd just feel more confident if Ian Watson had someone with invaluable coaching experience/success working alongside him.

much of the above I agree with (but with potentially two young interchange hookers and what's happening with Logan? I am confused about we needing another hooker)
but
"if Ian Watson had someone with invaluable coaching experience/success working alongside him"
Either he is a SL coach or he is not. We cannot keep adding a management/mentor link to him; it's time to let him show what he can do. Like all SL coaches have to.

I just feel we need at least one hooker with more real guile. It's such a key position for me.

As for Watto. I just think there is a lack of rugby experience within the administration side of the club now Sheen's has gone.
