Quote ="JonnoTheGreat"It shouldn't be of any suprise fans of that joke club Wakefield are leading the protests about the referee yesterday on this thread. They're well practised in bleating about officials. It's all they're known for.
By contrast, the Salford fans have been well dignified in defeat. Whatever calls went in Saints favour I do reckon they had another gear in then had they needed to. I'm not keen on the wools, but they're worthy Champions.
Question is though, with top players moving on, can Salford remain highly competitive next season? The clubs which finished around them Wigan, Cas and Wire are not much to be feared so with some clever signings and a very shrewd operator in Ian Watson, they could well be in with a shout of getting to the GF again.'"
The Salford fans were a credit to the club. I felt the game needed a Saints/Wigan vs Salford final to break apathy. The question over how Salford would be supported was answered positively in an emphatic manner. A great atmosphere but equally laid back as well.
I think Salford will go ok next year; they’ve a good system and are very strong off the field. Hastings is a huge miss and a great signing by Wigan but Watson will keep them up there. Hopefully Salford will grow as a club as our sport needs to, I believe we’ve stagnated recently so all the more reason a ‘new’ team needed in the final.
