That seems a bit strange strip him of the captaincy and than give it him back, whatever went on in florida must have been brushed up underneath the carpet.

If what i heard was true he doesn't deserve another chance. Personnally i think the club shoul've come out with the truth regarding the incident so we all know the true extent of the reason to bin him as captain.



As for things not getting any worse a weak management system has just made the situation into a laughable farce.

maybe mcrae ,, has sanctioned this so you lot get on his back more ,,, maybe mr wilko has sanctioned it so mcrae jacks in ,without paying him compensation ... who knows either way its a strange decision ..... maybe malc alker after the coaching job as well ... all we know is malc been a stalwart for SALFORD MUGBY ......But what went on in florida was a disgrace ... and action had to be taken.... might as well bringing marlon into the 19 man squad as well

i am casting for a new comedy

"Carry on at the Willows"





some suggestions

Given last weeks tackling we could cast Charles Hawtrey in a multitude of roles. Shame Trish has gone, there was a part that Hattie Jaques was born to play.

as a member of forever reds, that can't make the meetings, can i request someone to ask mr simms at the next meeting, 'WHY?'

why strip him of the captaincy?

why not sack him for what he did? (was it not worse than pulling a handbrake skid on the club carpark?)

WHY give him the captaincy back?

At a previous meeting, malc was told he wasnt guilty of the things you all think you know , maybe you do maybe you dont, and that lead to his reinstatment as club captain.

Dont get me wrong he aint entirley innocent, but the club decided that a loss of wages was enough punishment, the same as the other players involved.

Most concerning thing is he has never been a great hooker in super league and never will be, he should be one of the players gradually phased out over the next couple of years if we want to be a top 8 super league side.

And your point is ? so he aint a good hooker so should not be captain

as malc is 30, think even he knows hes only got 1 more season left after this one, at the very most.

is there the slight possibilty that players have staged a 'protest' over the last 3 weeks and thus putting in far below par performances? could this be a reason to why Mal has been re-instated?



i think Mal was still the captain but without the armband, but you dont punish someone for something and then say, ok we re instate you.



is this a sign of players having their own way and therefore being 'bigger' than the club? would the club uplift the ban placed on the three banned from away matches? I DONT THINK SO.



FWIW i agree with the ban but was using that as an example

My point is that you should build your team around the Captain and that he should not be in the side long enough for a quality team to be build up around him.



If we had recruited correctly at the start of the Season he should have been a bit part player, possibly playing back row by now, not our starting hooking leading our side around the pitch!
