Before the negative brigade come on, you know the one's, those who don't go any more but know best!
Last two performances against quality opposition, we have again moved the ball about at pace, we ran hard today good solid performance by all, thought Luke Pattern came into the line well today.

Yes they had a couple of players out & yes we have a weakness out wide with Williams & Gibson but to a man they worked there soak off.

I would like to see the penalty count against us, two try's came off penalties against us & with a bit of luck if Broughton had not slipped while taking the ball early in the second half plus the one he put his foot in touch, small margins but plenty of positives.

A couple of players out ? ..... M Monaghan, Morley, Briers, Myler, Solomona, Westwood, Hodgson & Bridge would all have played in our strongest 17. Not forgetting Ratchford too.

Salford looked very good at times during the game today but you pretty much played the bulk of our U20 side. Great strength in depth at Warrington.

It's hard to disagree with you, even Salfords biggest optomists can hardly believe you had a couple of players out with 55% of your 1st choice 17 missing.

I see DJ kicking let us down once again with 50%. Whilst Sneyd nets 7 from 8 the U20, when will the youngsters be given their chance as we have nothing play for?

Agree, but i think that call should be Alan Huntes,he will no when there ready.

and somehow you are still playing within the salary cap?

Get away - 14 of the 17 were/are regular players in the Wire squad - Salford very unlucky today - 3 tries disallowed - poor kicking and as usual the penalty count 3-10 I believe.

Ten academy products on show i know lets blame the Ref again.

Wayne Godwin went off injured.Any one know the extent of his injury ?

In the warm-up I saw the 17 who played and Josh Veivers.Who was the 19th in the squad and where was Feka ?

I don't live local and don't always find the news.

He's broken his arm.

I didn't go today expecting a thumping but once again the scoreline shows Salford losing out because of the goals. Last season was the same so when will the powers at be see that investing in a quality goal kicker is key. In the past you could say that we aren't expected to score the tries for goals to matter but if the clubs aim is to be top 8 in a few years we need someone who can kick from all over the park on a regular basis. All big clubs have quality kickers who produce week in week out and under pressure, so why oh why haven't we sorted something out. If Sneyd is to be the man then he needs to be tested on the bigger scene rather than just U20's, otherwise lets get something sorted out for next season.

See if Steve Blakeley will come out of retirement

I take it you never went the game

you fail to admit we rested nearly all our 1st team for next week, yes it nearly came back to bite us, but sorry you played our under20's squad with a few 1st teamers today!

When everyone is fit and on form the ones in blue are the likely 17

I'm sure the club invested in a goal kicking coach a few seasons back, under Karl Harrison I think although I may be wrong , maybe this is what DJ needs, he should be on remedial goal kicks. Danny Williams is as of yet to sign a contract and there is a young lad from Saints that is known to kick a goal or two and he's not getting a look in for them at the minute but his defense is non existent! When has that ever stopped Salford signing player of that ilk before?

J Monaghan? I'm not trying to clutch straws and suggest that Wire were not massively understrength, just genuinely thought he was a regular starter.

There isn't many of those who developed through your academy,is there ? (Highlighted )
How many internationals did Warrington have representing them,yesterday ?
Salford were missing - Ben Gledhill,Shannan McPherson,Iafeta Palea'asina,Vinnie Anderson,Sean Gleeson and Chris Nero.
It matters more to a smaller squad when the better players are missing.
