Are you his mum?



Sorry but he is nothing more than average, and that's being kind. He makes Paul Wellens look like Usain Bolt.



Not sure why you are so intent on making excuses for him but as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd.

Glad to hear it's not just us Salford fans oblivious to Howarth's class!

Haha. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any disrespect to him. He worked his socks off for us last season and his effort was one thing never in question.



But he just simply isn't good enough. I've never seen him take the line on and his lack of speed in distributing the ball from dummy half is painful to watch.



His defence is decent though to be fair.

No,I ain't his mum





Not making excuses.It is a leap for anyone to go from Academy and into Super League.



His career does contrast with others from that Wigan Academy side.



The fact that John Kear,Phil Veivers,Nathan Brown and Brian Noble have given him Super League games must mean something.

It was desperate times and desperate measures for Saints last season.



As for his days at Salford, he was probably good enough for you a few years ago (no offence). But with the aspirations you have now, he is below par for what is required. I'm not sure how long he has left on his contract but I imagine this will be his last at Salford.

Jeez, bore off. I'm not one for slagging our players off, and if he is playing on Thursday I'll support him, but he's clearly not good enough. Not only that but we have at least 3 better options in his position. I was to be fair impressed with him at wire in the friendly, but unfortunately next game he was back to usual. Painfully slow, telegraph passes, putting his team mates in danger.

I'm sure he's a good guy and tries 100% but he's not good enough

The reason he is in his is versatility skill wise Theo is double the player he has had his moments this season Warrington away he was very good hopefully he will continue to get better

ive got mixed feelings for tomorrow. Im gutted about Rangi not playing but im sure Theo will do ok. Im gutted about Griffin but its a good chance for Walne to prove himself. I think our attacking is good and improving but im more worried about our denfending

Neither Walne is in the squad.



Our defending as a whole has been ok, just the odd daft mistake. Conceded 6 tries so far, I think 2 have come from ball steals and one from an interception for example. If we can stop giving points away like that, it'll make a huge difference.

"Neither Walne is in the squad."



My bad, i thought he was.

You'd expect so with Griffin out, guessing Noble doesn't want to play the younger lads too much against the bigger teams.

and IF we win tomorrow then it will be the very first time in Salford history that we've been top...COME ON!!! asia.eurosport.com/rugby-league/ ... tory.shtml

Just noticed that Mose Masoe is still out injured and I'm gutted as wanted to see him and Tasi going head to head.



Think you might just have heard it on the Richter scale.

Doesn’t LMS and Hock have a bit of previous with each other? Then again who doesn’t have a bit of previous with Hock? Magic weekend springs to mind. There could be some fireworks and biff a plenty.
