How orginal pev, glad your so witty and quick thinking
Just hope your side are as clever and wittty as you on Saturday

so sorry but the truth is out there

The Franchise was all about local lads getting a chance and ensuring that England had a chance against Australia, but the RFL still managed to mess this up by not restricting ALL clubs to the same set of rules.

Come on, if your gonna take the obvious cheap shots, at least research your sh*t replies with factul evidence, we have 3 welsh boys

I'll leave the pettiness to you now and wait and see our teams preform on the field Saturday, as we all know this is all that matters and not your small minded views and your obvious lack of knowledge.

p.s. we are not the only team in SL this season with aussie's in the squad, I can think of at least one other team with 10 (yes i said 10), who have a history a longer than ours
So where is your comments on that and no chances for English players?

Those comments would be out of place in a thread discussing Salford v Celtic.

It's not rocket science pal. Other clubs and thier numbers of Aussies are not really gonna be disucussed on a thread about Salford v Celtic - hence there aren't going to be comments on lack of chances for Enlish players at those clubs on this thread.

The number of foreign players in the League generally is dissapointing particularly when we have just had the disastrous WC and everyone was bemoaning the lack of an English talent pool....................................What then happens, across the League, is that every club looks for loopholes to get players registered. From the top at Leeds and their "English" WC winning prop to sadly ourselves (hopefully not the bottom!) looking for ways to get Stapo and Lulu off the quota.

As a sport we are moving in the right direction but still all clubs look for those loopholes.

What will the score be on Saturday? Salford 22-10 Celtic

What player shoudl we fear most? Stapo

What player of ours do you fear most? Dick van Dyke

Where will either team finish this season? Salford - 12 Celtic - 14

Where do you see both clubs in 5 years time? Salford - Superleague champions, holders of the Challenge cup and world club championship
Celtic - Steady Superleague outfit
