GAME ON : Salford Reds Devils v St. Helens - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Could we see Salford cause a little upset tonight?

Nah can't see it myself. Our record against Saints is woeful and I fear they'll just be that bit quicker, stronger & smarter. 2 of the weakest parts of our game this season have been last tackle kicking and controlling the speed of the ruck. Get these wrong against Saints and they'll punish us big time. Hoping we can give them a decent game though and it's not one of usual shambolic Sky performances.

I'm looking forward to seeing Salford play. Hopefully they throw the ball around a bit rather than try and win a forward's battle, if they try and play up the middle I think Saints will get the upper hand fairly easily.

I predict a Saints win by 14.

Not sure anyone will score 14 in this rain

Some strange sights already:

Woman in a Salford shirt and a Wire coat
Marian Koukash walking out with the Saints players

Sent up as a try???

TJ Jack Smith said to Thaler that he grounded it.

Thaler not got much right so far

Salford hard done to here again saint getting some dubious decisions, how can that be sent up as a try I don't know. This looked a good game/contest for 20 minutes, all over now.

Salford on the end of some rough calls that have led to St Helens tries.
Salford defender supposedly played at a ball that was kicked into him from about a metre away and he didn’t even change his running stride or make a movement towards the ball. Saints score from the resulting set.
Next try comes from a a knock on given against Salford when the Saints player clearly makes contact with the ball and knocks it forward onto the Salford player’s head.
I know we have the luxury of slow-mo replays etc, but it seems Saints are getting to rub of the green so far.

Salford fans could be in a spot of bother with there homophobic chants too

Where are the 1200 Salford fans who went to hudds? More importantly did saleslim get his 30001 taxi?

Superb chase and tackle by Hastings there, that's as good as a try.

Why are you not at the game supporting your team Lebron?

I would have loved to have gone but have to watch the pennies so gave it a miss

300 appearances for kris welham.

Number of successful tackles, 2.

He’s halfway to ratchfords total. With games in hand

I’ll never let anyone call Roby one-dimensional again. He can’t only do barge-over try’s under the posts, he can do them on the wing too.

And how did Roby get up the other end of the pitch at his age, been on for 80 mins, chasing his own winger?

I'm certainly no fan of St Helens, but hats off to Roby- a world class player and extremely modest.

You tell me LeBron, your obsession is touching yet a tad unnerving.

Probably turn up once a season for a Wembley or GF appearance.
