When the season finished few if any Salford fans would have predicted what would have happened next. The news of Richard Marshalls departure will be hard to take for some, he has stated many times his ambition to coach at a higher level and fans of the club would accept through gritted teeth if this came to pass if he had departed for a NRL or elite Super League club. Ian Watson had already rejected a move from Hull Fc to secure his services last month many thought the Salford project would run for another season at least and with the financial situation improved because of the CVA and another attempt at glory would have taken place.

Leeds v Salford match report

Devil In The Detail SRD · Stadium news, new signing and our Super League preview with Trevor Hunt As far as season openers go they don’t come much tougher than a trip to Headingley. Expectations were high in this part of West Yorkshire. With big money signings and a hefty looking squad Leeds were being tipped by many to finish high up the table. In contrast Paul Rowley’s Salford side had already been written off before a tackle has been made, that’s the way we like it though. Rugby league can be very parochial at times and if you listened to everything the media said you’d never believe or have faith in anything. Leeds coach Rohan Smith started with new signings Brodie Croft, Andy Ackers and Matt Frawley. Salford had plenty of new faces in the seventeen. Chris Hankinson started on the wing with Nene McDonald his centre. Cade Cust started at six. Joe Shorrocks made the bench and it was also great to see Shane Wright back in the side after a horrendous injury layoff last year. The pitc...
