GAME ON : Salford Reds Devils v Castleford Tigers - 19:45:00

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

I literally have no clue how this will go. Obviously hope our way but Salford have looked real good of late and probably deserve to go through. Where as we have struggled most of season but somehow find our way 80mins off the semi final.

I'm going for either Salford to run away with it with their quality attack or Cas defence to keep playing well and it being a low scoring affair like last week. No way Cas run away with it.

I can see Cas winning this one

I think Salford should win this one. Last home game for Hastings and he wont want to go out on a loss. Same for quite a few of those leaving like Josh Jones.

The thing that worries me is whether the fatigue from the Wigan game may play a part, although Cas also had a tough game against Wire. Could be fairly close. Tough one to call, just think home advantage may tip it in our favour on this occasion. As long as both teams give their all and it's a decent game then I'll be happy.

Come on salford

Should be a good game this, very close to call but i think over the season Salford deserve it. Looking forward to it.

Really hard to call, Salford are in better form and have a better 17, but Cas have more experienced in these kind of games.

Both play off are hard to call, whihc is what the game should all be about.

Lets hope for two great games and should decent crowds.

Not supporting Yorkshire's top SL side Snowie ?

no I think that Salford deserves the support especially when you get the likes of Jean crapdozy spewing his crap on here, I won't be disappointed if you do win though

Why don't Salford play in red?

Even at this early stage, I think that tackle from Evalds might have won the game for Salford. Cas have looked clueless with the ball until that moment. Brilliant tackle but terrible from Rankin, all he had to do was come back inside.

Cracking game this. Credit to both sides so far, especially Salford.

Commentary has been dreadful, as usual (Barry and Terry mainly). Apparently Daryl Powell is ‘smart coach of the year’ and Terry with his habit of telling us how great a player’s been after they’ve made a mistake. Griffin playing well last week and Jones not being at his best was another good one.

We have been clueless all year without at the time of his injury the best srum half in the league,to get in the 5 has been a massive achievement in my opinion.
Roll on to an injury free next year.

Agreed. If by some miracle we can score 3 plus tries in this 2nd half and win I'm pretty sure we will get battered next week anyway. We have no attack at all. Look clueless in the Salford 20.

Where on earth did stephan rashford get his 80s jacket from?

Nothing else detracts from the lean-to on his conk if you ask me....mesmerising

Mc Shane's short kicking game has been good.

Hats off Salford. Forwards v good. Evalds a star.


Go well next week !

Nearly as good as Liam Watts brain f@rts.

Looking forward to Happy Powells interview.

The Salford players and fans should enjoy themselves tonight. This will be their last easy victory. Next week they will face a serious rugby league team -- either Wigan or St Helens, and that will be the end of the dream.

I don't want to rain on their parade, But next year without Jackson Hastings, Salford will not even make the top five.

Probably not but they're in the mix. Who wouldnhace thought that in Feb? A modest , hardworking , well drilled and determined side.

I don't know, suppose it depends on who they bring in to replace him and to be fair, Salfords recruitment has been top class this season.
