stuck in den haag,


what a match, cum on u reds. 32.nil, lets keep it to nil, 36 nil.

whats our biggest win ?? apart from the match at gateshead ???

great win, well done lads , shud of been 50, but more than happy with 3rd win on the bounce well done once again .

Wish I was in Den Haag with you RIB, rather than having to stand and watch that disgraceful performance!

No invention in attack & a defensive nightmare. 8 tries scored is not good enough & it's embarrassing how we can only keep teams tryless for 60 minutes. Tonight was the final straw, Veivers & Long are Luke the RL equivalent of the Chuckle Brothers! That's the last time I hand over my hard earned & my ST is going straight in the bin when I get home!



Apart from that I didn't think we were too bad TBH

Well Done Solly, up to 6th in the League & above Saints after 5 rounds.
Hope you stay in the top 6.

great win and sky says 5,250 at the willows

I again with sale, we were crap, how many sets of six did we complete, scoring tries off two or three tackles is fffiiinnggg crap, forget the try and complete the sets of six that is what Rugby league is all about, remember what the great Shaun said sets of six are the most important thing in a game, over 85% is the target.

Then again he was a pile of 5h1t, we are now looking like a team playing entertaining rugby, London had a bit of a boggey on us, I think tonight we could have put that to bed. Four wasted years, now get out there and tell your mates to bring themselves back to the Reds and see the difference.

Can't remember the last time I walked out after a Salford game gutted we didnt get 50!

Top win Salford, some great trys. Most thing I am happy about is the was the lads react to scoring/opposition dropping the ball/putting in big tackles....looks like a really good team spirit at the minute.

Must admit, apart from the 1st 10 minutes London looked half decent, and we did well to keep it 0 - 0, but their heads soon dropping after we scored a couple.

Patten is looking like the player we were promised when we signed him
Moon is looking like the best centre we have had since Naylor
Jewitt is playing the best rugby I have seen him play
....and all this without our 2 best wingers!!!

COME ON SALFORD!!!!!!

How much of this Salford revival would the fans attribute to Long?

Well done Salford glad someones happy tonight

The way we are attacking, I would say a lot of it is down to Long. The use of dummy runners, players hitting the ball at pace, spinning the ball out 2nd/3rd tackle.....its like watching St Helens when they were good!

Not as much as I'd give Vievers. There's no doubt that Long has brought a new dimension to our attacking play - the movement and the lines players are running and the way the half backs and hookers are bringing them in and deciding who to pass to has definitely got the look of Sean Long

But that said I think the two key things are the spirit the team are playing with and the fact that the players have been given the freedom to try things and will be supported to take risks. And that is down to the head coach. Vievers has also improved the goal line defence too - lost count of how many sets Hull had on our line last week and London had a good few tonight. last year that didn't happen, teams seemed to score every time they got into our 20

So far I'm really pleased with our new coaching set up and the next month will be a real test for our new found resolve

Without a doubt Long's attributes have revived our attack. Smiths passing looks crisp. We look a complete different team in attack. Also credit must go to PV for a total restructuring of tactics. Joel moon looks a class act stepping and offloading creating gaps and getting on the end of Holdworths passes.

Widnes three weeks ago!



Awesome performance tonight, scored some great tries. London's forwards were decent, they were just awful with ball in hand when trying to create something. Some of their attacking play, or lack thereof, was reminiscent of ours from the last three years at times.

Really glad that Moon's back, he looks dangerous almost every time he touches the ball and he showed his class yet again with his passing.

You know it's your night when Feka scores try straight from dummy half at 10 metres out. Continues to improve every week, so glad the pre-season rumours were wrong about us getting rid of him.

Thought Howarth was unlucky not to be man of the match tonight, he was immense in attack especially. Not sure I've seen a better passer from dummy half at salford in all the years I've watched them - maybe Peter Edwards??

Owen brings some real pace when he comes on and the pack really stepped up again tonight - Jewitt, Feka, McPhearson, Boyle all did well. Thought it was one of Wilde's best performances and I'm a big fan of his and Jordan James showed some real pace and power and an passing game I didn't know he had! And that's before we even start with the backs....

the next two games will be the test of how far we have come, win them and boy we are half way to the play offs. I can't remember when we had a positive points difference after 5 games, but we are getting there.

Thought tonight that Patten was head and shoulders above a Salford player, every time we went forward the link included him and I was astounded he didn't get MOM.

Moon going to be a legend, hands like i've not seen in many a year.

The pack were immense, JJ looked like a different player than what everyone was expecting and Feka again looked hungy for the ball and work rather than pies.

A slight down side for me we still need a place kicker and penalty tacker who we can rely on more than DJ, too late this season but a definate investment needs to be made, Wes Naiqama (sorry tipsy and not the best of speller) would do an absolute treat for me.

Did anyone see what happened to Gibson ? taken off after 20 odd minutes , and didn't come back on ,
Wild dropped back into centres with moon and we had Nero & Gleeson on the wings.
Hope we haven't lost yet another back to injury !

Patten's weaving run in open play for the opening try was worth the admisson on it's own.

two tough games coming up though but full credit to the all players tonight , it was difficult to single out any individual . so they all deserve the plaudits

MOM the crowd

Great team spirit was again visibly evident tonight. Our attack at present is the best i've seen in many years watching Salford, thank god no more safety first 'one man rugby' and asking no big questions of our opponents.If the players can Keep this huge effort up Salford will go places. Every player seems to be putting in a huge effort and pulling in the right direction at the moment. Personally i think this squad of players is just starting to realise how much quality they have when they play for each other.

It will be tough in the next couple of games but I really hope this new found attacking confidence, resolute defence, effort and team spirit will not be lost with complacency after a good run

Fantastic game last night from the lads. I think the team spirit is amazing. Patten had a brilliant game and was definitely MOM for me. I think Wild had some great runs too. It was also great to see how much the lads were up for it. Smith's reaction to his try showed how much it meant and Holdsworth looked excited too. Even though we were 44-12 up we were still watching our positions for kick offs and keeping our concentration.

I'm so proud of the way we've improved our game and love that fact that we keep building on this each week. We've looked at our faults from previous games and have actually worked on it and the results show!

Actually, can anyone recall the last time we won 3 games in a row during Super League, if ever?

Well done Salford. Keep this going!!

played great, thought patten was outstanding as was Paleaaesina.
sean long has to take a lot of credit for our play.

Agree with all above posts, memories of the 70s
Thought the referee was trying to get his pools forecast right, the number of times he penalised us in our 20, he worked hard to get London to score.
Does anyone know the penalty count in the last 20 minutes ?

RRD, think Sky Sports said it was 2006 when we last won 3 in a row. It's a bl00dy great feeling getting up with a warm glow (no that's not a euphemism!) after a performance like that. We're not a team with big names but that'll do me fine. Every single player looks like they want to die for the shirt & as a fan, that's all I ask for. We've got players in that team who weren't first choice at their previous clubs but they obviously want to repay the faith we've shown in them to give them the opportunity to play. The competition for places seems to have inspired some of our underperformers and we look like a completely different team to the shower of e wecwatched under McRae. The fact that we've had so many injuries but still produced some outstanding performances speaks volumes for the team & coaching staff. PV gives me the impression that he won't stand for excuses (injuries/weather/refs etc) & that's how it should be.

Seriously, I could go on all day, waxing lyrical about the team. I'm proud of every single Reds player on that pitch last night but an extra special mention has to go to Luke Patten. Ok, he's no Gary Broadbent defensively but as an attacking weapon I'm struggling to think of any better fullback (bar Tomkins) in SL at the moment.



And the best thing about last night? I get to go into work on Monday & shove it right up the Wigan & Wire fans that tipped us for the wooden spoon!



Now back to reality! With Catalans, Leeds & Wigan coming up we've got a tough month or so. I'm not expecting miracles against likely top 4 finishers but I hope the lads take the confidence they've built up into these games & compete for the full 80. And as fans let's have some perspective. Let's enjoy the current run & milk it while it lasts but let's not jump straight on the players backs if we do lose a few matches which, let's face it, we're not expected to win.

Alles les Diables Rouges!!!

Personally see with games coming up against three teams I expect to finish in the top four that the confidence we are taking into them could cause an upset. Doubt many will go to France and win and doubt very much we will but can honestly see us on the stregth of last nights attacking performance troubleing Leeds.
