I think this is by far the most positive thread on this forum. It's been a breathe of fresh air, optimism in the youth performing well inside of blind optimism by most on the 1st team front. Once next season reshuffle regarding the U20, U23 (still confused on how it's going to work) what ever it may be would it be possible to by made a sticky rather than trawling through the pages to keep an update on how the younger guys are doing?

Not a bad idea that.

Twenties drew 28 - 28 we play Leeds at home in the playoffs

[iGREAT RESULT LAST NIGHT..

DO WE KNOW WHEN WE PLAY THE RHINOS IN THE PLAY-OFFS YET?[/i

Good performance last night, outscoring Leeds by 6 tries to 5. Needed a last minute penalty to get a draw however after missing a few kicks. Clever half back play with a chip and chase 30m out forcing Leeds to concede a pen right in front of the sticks.

Hopefully the play off game will be before the first team game vs Wakey on Friday?

Quote ="Talent Spotter"Hopefully the play off game will be before the first team game vs Wakey on Friday?'" According to RFL website the game's on Saturday. www.therfl.co.uk/matchday/fixtures Seems to make far more sense to have it as curtain raiser for the dead rubber against Wakey.

Won't be on Saturday as Sale are at home.

[iHOPEFULLY THE GAME WILL TAKE PLACE AT BARTON ON THURSDAY or FRIDAY NIGHT

SURELY THIS GAME WON'T BE MOVED TO LEIGH WILL IT?[/i

RFL site now has the 20s game as being at Barton on Friday with a 7pm kick off. Anyone on here confirm this?

Taken from the official Salford City Reds website

Salford City Stadium are proud to host Salford City Reds u20s v Leeds Rhinos u20s in the first Valvoline Cup play off!

The Reds managed a draw on Friday against the Rhinos so hopefully being on home ground will give them a win!

will probably be a better match than was originally planned ..
maybe this is an opportunity to support the real acheivers this season and give the Saturday game a miss.

hopefully our friends at he SCS will allow us the deals the Union Mob are getting on Saturday


4 for £10 deal.
- Draught Fosters and Strongbow
- Cans of Guinness and Deuchars IPA
- Flying Scotsman Premium Bitter (real ale)

After the match, only £2 per pint for selected beers.

I've just read in this weeks RLE that coach,Lee Spencer,resigned prior to the game at Leeds.
I take it there is nothing sinister in this,but I haven't read about this information anywhere else.

Yeah Spanners resigned. Can't say much more, but the parting wasn't on the best of terms and Lee didn't really want to resign and leave the lads without a coach for the play offs, he just felt he had no option!!!

The only postive topic on here that nothing could undermine !
Christ I was wrong ...

Official match report of the Leeds game is now online

Me wonders if there will be a Delia Smith-esque plea from Wilkinson at H/T on Friday asking fans to travel to Leigh. Would be great if the young last could get a 300+ crowd

Following the defeat on Friday, am I right in thinking the U20s (due to their runners up position) are still in the competition? If so, do we know who, where and when they will be playing?

We have got Wigan at home this weekend. Although in true Salford fashion, the date/time etc have yet to be announced.

[iI would have thought the game will take place on Saturday afternoon at Barton this weekend.[/i

Looking likely to be Sunday.

Lets hope PV will add a few first teamers to the 20's as other teams do ie Wigan!!

[iTHAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER...[/i

Now confirmed as Sunday 2.30pm. Free for season ticket holders.

Rugby league on a Sunday afternoon? It'll never work...
