Agreed on Long but let's be honest here he's not a miracle worker. We can't continually pluck randomers from lower divisions/lost souls from Super League and turn them into quality players just because we have Sean Long coaching them. A big chunk of our attacking play this season has been down to Long, but equally as much has come from the backs being really bloody good anyway.

He's already used that pitch when he signed for Salford 12 months ago.

after tonight at best played his last game for us
he should be given the freedom of Widnes he give them tonight the freedom of Barton

TBF to Gleeson, he was hurt early doors but he had what you could call a bit of a mare.

We were absolutely on fire tonight but didn't expect the result we got as you lot had also been in form of late. Stick with it - I hope you get out of the sticky spot you're in at the minute.

He's right though, it does take him closer. A whole one league place closer. At this rate he should be back at Wigan by the time he's 32.

Tbf I think most fans would agree that Rovers are more likely to win a trophy than Salford.
Now that doesn't mean that we are likely but if Rovers are 25-1(ish) to win next seasons CC, Salford will be 40s.
I don't think either will win anything for the forseeable but what Gleeson said is still true.
In our last knockout game against each other, we beat you to nil after all.
