Excellent win for you guys tonight.

More like it tonight , from the start we actualy looked as though we wanted to be there, The whole team showed great commitment across the field , heads stayed up when we went behind.
Talau`s try saving tackle near time gets him my mom award .

I actually thought we played pretty much the same brand of RL tonight as we have all season.

The biggest difference was the reduction in basic errors (although there were still too many) and the fact that we had the rub of the green several times (which we've not in other games).

In any other game this season Tyrer's flick-back for Fitzy to score would not have come off, Broughton would've ended up in touch twice (and would've been slagged off for going for the corner when it wasn't on) and Talau would've tackled Whiting just as he touched the ball down.

Those four tries going the other way, plus a conversion that could easily have been disallowed, would've completely changed the game. However because those 50-50 situations were all coming up for us, it lifted the players which in turn lifted the crowd, which lifted the players further.

Just goes to show what a difference the bounce of a ball can make in TGG. Great to get a win though!

Salford are a team dear to my heart! Good on ya and much love from a rhino!

Don't know if people think you are crap fans, nasty fans, or good fans? I just know I've always had a top crack with reds and I'm well chuffed for you tonight !

The Talau tackle will be one that is remembered in years to come

[iIt was clear to see last night that the whole team gave 100% straight from the kick off and thats all as a fan you can expect.

Last week at Wakefield it was a shambles the whole game last night was a complete turnaround.

I was very pleased with the work rate of Daniel Holdsworth and in Jodie Broughton he is stronger on attack than I thought, plus it was good to see Ray Cashmere showing a bit of heart.

And last but not least I am pleased for coach McRae who has come in for some stick in recent weeks.

Next up Warrington Wolves...

Great win last night.



Deserved reward for a great effort.

Friendly but bl00dy noisy despite the lack of numbers is the general opinion. A journalist described the atmosphere at Salford the best in rugby league a few years back.

Have you been reading archive papers from 1926 again?

Nope. Was about 5 years ago. I'll try and find it.

Still looking. If anyone can remember the origin of this article, feel free to post it on here.

1/The forwards were actually running on to the ball
2/We were getting the ball wide
3/Our forwards actually made yards
4/There was more thought in the final 10
5/Tackles were made and completed

The boring percentage rugby normally played was gone and a more expansive game played.
There were still too many mistakes for my liking and Tyrer's defence needs working on but this time I can actually say this was a deserved win against a skilled highly experienced outfit.
Final point Matty Smith should be hooker as at SH he is clueless

I probably agree with you, but in attack he really thinks and seemed to take all the right options - the chip kick in the first half then the knock back in the second - excellent - great entertainment

You probably found it in the back pocket of that 1980's dexy's midnight runners outfit you were wearing last night

Really enjoyed last nights game. Really made-up with the result.

Special mentions have to go to Boyle, Fitzy, Talau, Holdsworth, Henry, Sidlow and Broughton. Holdsworth looks a top player. TBH he looks too 'clever' for most of our players. When they start to read him better, we will improve as an attacking force.

Well done to the players AND the coach

I'm afraid I'm not old enough to know what you're talking about.

Anyone see Fungus on the TV last night. I was surprised they allowed it before the watershed

Well what a good performance, 2nd half inparticular was very good, we completed our sets in a positive way, built pressure on hull and were able to play some good rugby at times.

All the players should take big raps for the effort, commitment and intelligence at times not to go for the "big play" too early in the set, "The Wizard" dictating play was immence for me but he had willing runners in the pack and round the edges all night which is a nice change

So for me i though it was a superleague performance by a superleague team in the end, probably a firm handshake kind of "well done" rather than a

and

about it .

I hope the players can build on this performace over the easter period and not think "well we won, the fans love us again, lets kick back and take the plaudits" because in superleague the performace on saturday is whats needed to keep making progress

Not what you were saying for a whole 10 minutes in the 1st half after Cashmere/Sidlow went for the glory offload and cocked it up. You and Chris gave me a blinding headache the way in which you were carrying on. Ha

I stand by my comments @ the time, you have to earn the right to play, to often @ salford we throw the hollywood ball to early in the tackle count and are punished, this is what happened as hull then marched up to our end and scored minutes later, take the tackle, quick play of the ball with a broken line and hulls defence all at sea we could have done some serious damage just before half time, its a learning curve for the likes of sidlow im sure he would deal with the situation differently when it happens again .

It was a fab break by sidlow and he and jewitt are begining to grow into a force to be reconded with on the field. They arnt the finished article but if they show the same control aggression in the tackle both in attack and defence and they continue to recylcle quality ball for the remainder of the season then they will go a long long way

And my headache's back again!



Bobby, I, to a certain extent, agree with you. It's Chris you were mass-debating with...

Imo, and this is all I'm going to say on the issue is, that in order to be a great attacking team at the top level, you have to make the right play at the right time. Work and develop the opportunities and take them when they pop up. Had Sidlow made that pass to Henry, and Henry went onto score, you, as well as everybody else would've said it was the right play. However, he ballsed it up and it turned into a silly play. So, do you stop trying? Not necessarily. All Sidlow can do in future is make sure his skill level is upto the required standard in the event of an opportunity coming up again. Well, that's how the best players in the best teams do it matey.
