They were decimated through injures and a lengthy suspension to Rangi Chase. Remember their cup game against Leigh? They were threadbare before the game kicked off and it only got worse, Sau and Dobson both went off during the match iirc.
They've lost Locke, Fages and Puletua and they still look strong. The only area where we arguably have the better option is at 9, but I'd rather AoB had a quiet game on Sunday so that these SL sides don't get any bright ideas!

Realistically I think a Bulls win over Salford would suit us better as imo you haven't a prayer of 5th spot, but after all the Kryptonite our club and the fans have had to endure from your well meaning unbiased fans on here, I hope they put 60pts on you without reply.

What a charmer! Don't take it to heart mate, I'm sure now you've put the Bulls to bed last week you're dead fire favourites for the WCC next year.

FWIW I would love to have Wakey, Fax and the Bulls in SL next year as that would guarantee some great local derbies. But how dare Bulls fans have a negative view of WTW on a message on the Bulls own forum! I can almost feel the indignity from here!

Definite frustrated Virgin material that

Aw...Shucks....

Looks like it might be a nice day tomorrow. Mind you, there's thunder and lightening right now.
But it looks like hopes of a boggy pitch to slow down Salford's play makers are unlikely

This nice weather should suit our playmakers as well

We have playmakers?

Ha ha - clearly you don't do irony??

Ha I shall remove my tongue from my cheek

Clare fullback and Mullaney in halves. No Siejka which I'm surprised about (don't confuse that with disappointment). Wonder if he's injured or just left out?

Pleased with that lineup. Not convenient need with Clare at FB yet but much happier with Mullaney in halves.

Much happier with the bench options.

Siejka had to be at 7 or out, not on bench - glad Lowes has gone for Mullaney instead.

How many forward passes will the ref let Salford get away with

What's going on? I am away so not at game. Gutted!

Are we good or Salford dire?
Either way, come on!!!

Who wants to pay me to stay away in future?

I'm inthe same boat. I think our combined jinx factor being away has obviously had the desired effect.

I'm away as well as had to go for an operation, gutted, COYB

Well done today, somewhat surprised after last week but sounds like a comprehensive victory.

Well as bad as we were against Wakefield, we were that good against Salford this afternoon.

The players looked enthusiastic, motivated and hungry for the win, Salford looked like they'd watched the game last week and assumed they were in for an easy Sunday afternoon at Odsal and towards they end looked completely shell-shocked.

Now, here's hoping that the week off won't be a derailing factor. I really think the team needs to keep up the intensity before we play Widnes.

I fear this too.

Best performance of the season and a week off now

Still, it gives Mullaney's hamstring a week to get better

Fantastic day

What a great performance, has everyone got their calculators out now, how many wins do we need to go up

Hicks was atrocious today, just like d1ck head Salford fans with the flares

Polar opposite to last week. Best performance of season. Showed that they deserved to be in the mix to try and make it into Super League. Shocked with the result. Proved they can do it without Gaskell as well.

Mullaney looked like he had something to prove and was best player on park until he went off ( hopefully nothing too bad ).

Clare played had a great game at fullback and neilsen was a positive debut.

Salford really did like like all they had to do was turn up and win by 20-30. Forwards give it too them early on, coupled with some good offloading.

I'd have taken 2 out of 3 wins at this stage.

Mullaney has pulled his hamstring again. If only he could put two games together. He was class today. Someone at the back of me asked if Mullaney is actually better than Gaskell when fit? Good question. Possibly a better "all round" player.
Should have Gaskell back in a fortnight to face Widnes who are beatable.
I still think the bottom line is still to beat Leigh and Fax to get 8 points. I would still rather play Wakey away than such as Salford away. One other win and 10 points gets automatic promotion.
Should we now leave Mullaney out till the Leigh game as they are a must win to at least guarantee a play off chance.

Game on again!

Great result. Glad Bradford are shaking up the 8s.
Its all on now.
