A WORD FROM THE AXE

Welcome back to the Salford Stadium for another big Friday night game. After a really pleasing win last weekend, we know we’ve got to be on it again against a team who will be fired up to come to Manchester and put in a big performance.
Before I talk about last week, and the game ahead of us today, can I extend a warm welcome to a man you, and I, know extremely well. Steve Diamond.
Steve is a good friend and I know our sauna and swimming pool trips have been making plenty of column inches. But this is a guy who has been influential in my life..
Nye Thomas’ rise to reliability

Nye Thomas was thrown in at the deep end in October 2021 when, just six months after finishing his A–Levels, injuries to established nines meant he was called onto the bench for Sale’s clash against Leicester Tigers.

It’s derby weekend! And with all the talk of friendships between the two head coaches this week, Sharks DoR Alex Sanderson has continued the family theme by selecting two du Preezs and two Currys as the home side return to full strength.
Ben and Tom Curry, and Hyron Andrews have all returned from return to play protocols, but we’re denied a first full du Preez and Curry compliment since the 2022/23 semi-final victory vs Leicester as Jean-Luc du Preez’s return to play is delayed – Dan, however, plays for the first time since January…
THE SHARK TANK – A SUPPORTERS PERSPECTIVE

You wait months for Friday Night Lights and then two come along at once!
A thriller this time last week against Gloucester must have been a great watch for the neutral, but it was from behind our seats that most Sale fans watched the last 10 minutes of the game as we turned a comfortable 16 point lead into a nervy 4 point win. Thanks to heroics from Arron Reed however, it was a much needed 5 point win to keep us in the mix in the table. That tense finish took attention somewhat away from what had been a fantastic attacking performance for the most part, with strike moves, power, pace and commitment all creating some highlights that no doubt we’ll be watching again at the end of the season.
