I heard Marwan Koukash was setting up a new team called Chester Racers and is signing all our players with Jon Welllens and Frankie Dettor as coaches

I see the club have got a deal with Salford credit Union to allow supporters to effectively borrow the money from the CU (usually at a low rate from them) and pay back in instalments
That’s a great piece of work. Two Salford institutions working together 👏

Terrible terrible 2nd half. Another game we should have won. Bombed 2 or 3 chances towards end of first half and then fell apart after half time

If As Rumoured Ken Sio is leaving and returning home to Australia at the end of the Season So seems a sensible thing to do. Stronger rumours are that Sio has signed a new contract with us

According to Aaron Bower writing for thirteen the following are our OOC players status so far
Not yet determined: Danny Addy, Matty Costello, Rhys Williams, Deon Cross, Amir Bourouh, Adam Sidlow, Ben Hellewell.
Terms not offered: James Greenwood.
Absent from list: Chris Atkin, Ken Sio, King Vuniyayawa, Shane Wright.
Definitions:
Not yet determined means that their current club have yet to decide whether or not to table a new contract. They are, of course, also free to discuss terms with other clubs now the May 1 deadline has passed
Terms not offered means they will be leaving their current club at the end of the season, and have been told no new contract is forthcoming
absent from the list but is out of contract could mean one of three things. One: they have been offered – and even already agreed – a new deal for 2024. They may also have been offered new terms but turned them down – which is why, for example, Owen Trout is not on Huddersfield’s list. The other is that they have already accepted a contract elsewhere.
I think we’ve heard Sio has signed a deal and strong rumours Wright will. I hope we keep Atkin and would be surprised if we don’t. I would keep King too if the deal isn’t too expensive but I guess it depends who else we have lined up
Greenwood only one def being released apparently. Good player but not fit often enough sadly.

Just seen that. He would provide decent cover at wing and full back. We’ve got Cross, Costello and Williams off contract at end of year. I assume we’re keeping Cross. I’d keep Costello. And great as Williams has been, he’s 34 in December I wonder if he has another season at SL level in him

It was a strong performance last night. I need to watch it again as I was a bit tipsy and lots of the action seemed to happen at the other end of the pitch. And I missed our second half try when I was at the bar 🤦♂️
We were very disciplined and Leeds weren’t. That was the difference. The south stand did its best to influence proceedings by calling for forward passes and six agains constantly. But fair play to the ref for largely ignoring them. Seen far worse referee performances there. Rohan Smith seemed to agree with most refereeing calls in his post match interview.
We were strong and controlled with ball in hand while Leeds overplayed too often. We rode our luck at times but we stood up really well in defence. Leeds still threatened when they got their offload game right and their first try was very good.
The pack were all massive. I thought Wright was very good again. But it felt like we had most control of the middle when Dupree and King were both on pitch. As others have said Cross had a good game. Atkin was very very good at full back. Pretty much faultless. And a mention to Longstaff. He was targeted by Leeds and given too many hospital balls where he was (legally) flattened. But he showed great resolve and just kept going. Was good to see him come up with a try.
Is that 3 wins at Headingley in about 5 years? Now let’s see if we can end our saints away hoodoo…

Rowley said Gerrard “is medically fit to play, but needs a bit of work.”
Looking like

Dupree signed a three year contract in Dec 22, so all being well should be with us until 2025 at least. That’s good. I had missed/forgotten that

Is Tyler Dupree out of contract this year? All seems worryingly quiet on that front!

Encouraging news from John Davidson on rugbyleaguehub.com:
Exclusive: Two players are expected to stay with their Super League club and re-sign for next season.
Salford’s Aussie duo Ken Sio and Shane Wright are both off-contract at the end of 2023.
But rugbyleaguehub.com Long Reads understands both are likely to stay put and pen new deals with the Red Devils.
The re-signings will be a boost for Salford who are trying to cement themselves as regular play-off contenders.
Sio has been a big part of the club’s revival and has spent the past four and half seasons at the AJ Bell Stadium.
He helped them get to the 2019 grand final and the 2020 Challenge Cup final.
The winger, who joined from Newcastle Knights at the end of 2018, has scored 70 tries in 86 appearances for the Red Devils.
This season the 32-year-old has managed four tries in nine appearances.
Back-rower Wright joined Salford from North Queensland in 2022.
He has crossed five times in 21 matches for the Red Devils. This season the 27-year-old has bagged four tries in 10 appearances.
Wright is averaging 31.7 tackles, 76.8 metres and 11.3 carriers per game so far in 2023.
Salford have already re-signed several key players this year, including Kallum Watkins, Brodie Croft, Andy Ackers and Jack Ormondroyd.

Reflections now that we’re 10 games in…
- defence has been much improved this year. It’s probably been our best aspect - attack not hit its straps yet - home form getting better but still feels like we play better away - winning close games that it feels like we would have lost - significantly better than this time last year: - 2022 P10 W3 Points For/Against: 166/266 - 2023 P10 W6 Points For/Against: 208/183 - so scoring 4 points more per game and conceding 8 points fewer - worst performances Hull KR (H) Huddersfield (H) - best performances Hull (A) Catalans (H) - (ifs/buts/maybes) if we’d hung onto our leads at Warrington and Wigan we would now be top of the table as the only club with 8 wins!! Obviously could say that with every game but they’re the two it felt like we had winning positions that we lost - overall far more positives than negatives and that last statement shows how close we are
