I agree with this but thought the ref was OK. Quins were bad, Salford were bad. Two very bad teams and a dismal game.

Typical
Once again I don't/ can't go and we win

Well done Salford , and I`m sure the win made the trip more than worthwhile for everyone who traveled down .

I find it strange that when Salford City Reds beat-

Hull Away
Leeds Away
Bradford Home
Warrington Home
Saints Home
Harlequins Away
Celtic Home
Huddersfield Away

Salford rarely play well and the other teams have played badly whereas when Salford get beat the other teams have been brilliant.

I have been around long enough to accept a defeat for what it was and take any win that comes along whoever it happens to be against.

Last week I was a little uptight due to a touch of Benthamitis this week things could not be better.

just back from london and can i say i didnt think the lads looked disinterested maybe a little knackered at times (it was very warm)and a few were going down with 'cramp'...spelling pointed out....in 2nd half,but so did the quins infact from the kick off they were all strolling back to get on there line,ref let the game flow not to many whistles and some good tackles by malc.adamson and smith..usual kicking from stef although he looked like he was carrying an injury. We didnt miss myler.And from what i could see not a bad attendance from salford fans..

Quite a common injury at Salford players going down with crap

like to see you(who ever you are!) play for 80mins,probably going to tell me you have /or still play rugby...in warm/hot weather crap is a common probllem in many sports and genuine...

You missed the point Beezer u wrote players going down with crap not i

sorry

the 'm' button sticking

should read it back carefully.i did say just got back from london,he!he!

Just got back from a good weekend in the capital,made even more enjoyable by a win yesterday.
Like mentioned above it was far from a classic,2 poorish super league teams,but i thought overall we deserved the win,quinns had a depleated team but i think ours was more depleated.We gave it all down the middle all game and never gave up even with 5 mins left!No real stand out performances imo just a good team effort.Nice to see Ste nash go over for a try,really have liked the look of Deano last 5 or 6 games,thought our kicking game was better than of late and we got in there faces well tackling hard.Cudnt understand why ratch was kicking to start with??missing the first 2.Then bring on man of match imo John"go johhny go" wilshere!We had dorn under control for most of the game,and hopefully we can get at least one more win from our remaining 3 games to make it not a bad return to super league with 8 wins from the season!Think Walton is gonna be a good un for the future.

Keep the faith

p.s did anyone see myler in attendance???

I saw the highlights on the superleague show today, and I have to say you're talking bollox, sir. McGilvray leant forward with his arm fully outstretched and INTERCEPTED Dorn's pass and went on to score a great try.
I have to say though that our first try may not have been given had we had a video referee.

Not what he said last week on gmr !!!!
Said he was giving him a rest cause his head isnt in the right place at thr present time and thought a rest was the best thing for him

Finally sober, I missed the try of the match whilst in attendance at the bar


the second half started very slowly and for 30 mins it looked like a typical Half Time talk performance, then the lads seen to forget what the Walrus had said and played their own game resulting in two tries and winning the game.



We also got some smooth today after a whole season of Rough, but hey the ref is closer to the action so he can see more than us in the stands


3 wins from the last 3 matches very possible, could even do the Double over a couple of clubs.

Yeah i think were just about to play the last three clubs at the right time

just saw the highlights and seemed like nash had his best game in a red shirt

Great ground to go to the Stoop, and considering we had $od all to play for not a bad turnout.
Harlequins were dreadful.
Considering they can still get in the play-offs then I was surprised at the lack of intensity shown by their players.
Some of our players are clearly running out of gas, but even then we had enough to beat Quins.
Smith still worries me with his rabbit in headlights game, but that is the only complaint I have


Thought Luke Adamson was immense, where he gets the energy from to tackle and drive like he does I will never know.
Fitzy looking good again,
All in all a good day out.

Just watching the highlights of the game on the Super League website.

Wilshere's first try was dubious and if it were a tv game we probably would have been awarded the dropout instead.

Absolute quality offload from Henry for Wilshere's 2nd. Couldn't see him getting the ball out properly from the stand but he did really well to put him over. Also Robbie's dummy that sent the whole Quins defence the wrong way

Saw the same highlights and now I agree re the interception.



I can only think that, when watching the match live, I could see it coming before Dorn released the ball and so my brain (such as it is) somehow put itself in the position of your winger and got there at the same time as he did. Make sense? Probably not but it's the best explanation I have.

As for the try, you're probably right. I suspect that the in-goal judge couldn't see Melling's touchdown because Melling was obscuring his view. The guy in the next seat to me said that the touch judge was waving his flag horizontally. I don't know what that means. Could be "no try" or "I couldn't see it"? Purdham tried but failed to get Allibert interested.

It means the linesman didn't know, in which case it was up to the ref to make a decision, with the aid of the in-goal official if he saw it clearly, which as you say he probably didn't. Benefit of the doubt to the attacking team.

You don't often see it but a horizontal wave of the flag is one option the touch judge has when adjudicating on a goal kick - up for a goal, down for a miss, horizontal for a don't know. If one touch judge makes a decision and the other is a don't know, the referee can overrule the one who made the decision. If both touch judges agree the referee has to accept their decision.

Granted not the horizontal flag waving but I'm sure this season we've had it twice in the same game where the 2 touch judge's made differing desicions for a goal kick and the ref gave one and dismissed the other.

I remember being rather upset about one of them, lol.

cas away by any chance ?

No it was at the Willows.

oh yeah that one too


did banish that one from the memory banks til now

i was thinking of the one at cas where the ball hit the OUTSIDE of the post deflected in the opposite direction to the posts only for the touch goons to look at each other and think....What the hey lets just give it

Thanks for that. I'll try to remember it.
