James, Lets get this game out of the way first and hopefully get a win

HOPEFULLY GET A WIN



[iI'm expecting a decent game against the Hawks but come on we are 100/1 ON to win this tie and if we did fail to take this tie it would have to go down as one of the biggest upsets of all time.

I predict a Reds win by 42 points.

And with a bit of luck a home draw in the next round......[/i

Quality. I'll bring a coat.

It's the Challenge Cup . Catalans have just beaten the top 3 Current SL sides but only just made it past a very committed Leythers side.
I remember going to Hilton Park a few years back with a team full of 'stars [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/1165146.stmSunday, 11 February, 2001,[/url

last time we played them in the cup there was a league between us but it still went to a replay . In 2003 Hunslet knocked out Huddersfield in Rnd 4.
lastly it's just plain rude to blatantly discount the tie as if we've already won it.
yes we SHOULD put 50 past them, but lets see what happens before we find out if we've got Catalans away again..

I remember a quite good Salford side only just beating Rochdale a few seasons ago. I'm surprised Photo Finish is being so cocky and expecting a win. Yes we should win. Whether we do or not is another matter.

Enjoy the game I'll be listening on the radio whilst knocking a large hole into my kitchen/ living room wall.

What a cracking little stadium Hunslet have got.

totally agree Gazcabs

Thought it was an impressive ground. Shame about some of the complaining fans. Judging by what I heard today, they apparently would have won if it hadn't have been for the referee...

Thought the match day announcer was top notch. The only thing he didnt give us was the shipping news.

Erm, is my comedy material payment for giving me a lift???

Thought it was a very decent place to watch rl.good facilities goos view of pitch and of dirty leeds city too!!Some good tries we ran in,and was quite suprised they didnt give us a bit more of a game than they did.BRING ON THE ROVERS

didnt get to the game today how bad did pattens injury look

Very nice friendly stadium, good facilities & good view of the game, Luke pattern appears to have a shoulder injury looked like he was in a little pain in the dug out, they had ice packed the injury to his right shoulder, stayed in the dug out for the whole game so hopefully not too serious.

See the difference in the levels watching the game today, the holes our forwards punched in their defence every time we took the ball, we were breaking their line, still you need to beat what is put in front of you & Salford did a professional job today, one sided but enjoyed the day.

He's just tweeted that his injury isn't too serious & he should b ok for Friday!!

nice one cheers

That poor kid putting up the score looked fed up! tough running up that hill.

Very friendly fans enjoyed the day out

All depends upon where you were sat, we were next to the most bitter bunch of old men I've ever seen at a match, they were awful. We tried to show them some repect but were met with all kinds of anti Salford abuse.

Some snippets.
Ten mins in I'm glad we are playing these and not Featherstone.

We've come to see your stars but you havn't got any.

On Ratchford's first attempt at goal well he should get it he's had enough practice.

Glad we're not playing a decent super league team.

F this forward that, if it wern't for the ref....
And on and on and on....

Nice little stadium though..

Me and my dad were sat in the top tier in the middle. It bordered on hilarious at times. Every pass was forward, every play the ball we were offside. The ref was a cheat, etc

the kid doing the score board,kept him self busy on his makeshift go-kart in between updating our score lol!

Sounds like you were sat next to us! It was truely cringeworthy, they gave Salford no respect whatsoever. I couldn't honestly understand the bitterness, I was prepared for some friendly banter but nothing of that sort, at one stage it even sounded as though they had come to the game expecting to win?

Lovely stadium, their players gave it all but it was never going to be enough and like I said to one of the Hunslet fans when it was 0-0 after 10 mins and he was ribbing Salford - Just check the scoreboard at full time pal not after 10 mins its an 80 min game, well he left right on the final hooter without any comments and didn't even clap his own team off!

The guys we spoke to wished us well for the rest of the season and generally were friendly.

Every club has nutters. I did hear a woman shouting about off side all ganme she was funny.

We were on the top tier too and though most of the fans were OK we were told that Salford had gone bankrupt two days after the last round of franchises and that our new Stadium would never be built. As one of us said, "Never let the truth spoil a good story."

The fact is that we were a National League side not too long ago and we never exhibited any of the resentment towards Super League sides that some Hunslet fans seemed to show yesterday.

On a separate note, Ryan Boyle impressed me very much yesterday. He never seems to get the plaudits but he seems to be getting better and better week by week. Long may it continue.

I think all that was lacking on the top tier amongst the moaning Hunslet fans were those two old guys who used to sit in the balcony on the Muppet Show. Reminds me of our last visit to Dewsbury. They were all bitter as well!

Spot on Dave I though Boyle had a great game he made yards every time he drove the ball in, really stood out for me.

I think the whole team approached the game professionally and rightly so...got the win, Ryan Boyle impressed but it was Adamson who stood out the most. Nice to see a rounded attacking performance from him ( @ Loose Forward ) from start to finish.

With him not having to do the majority of the tackling he was able to showcase his attacking skills, (and from were I was sat) boy did he. Superb double hand off for the first try and a lovely line for the first try of the second half.

Hopefully the team and (current) coach will take away some insight from Sunday and Adamson will be given more space at Loose Forward to give us another performance like that. Nice to see what he can really do when he's not putting in 42 tackles a game.

Onwards and upwards.
