Have a few posters on your board not already said that,Salford have one of the best half back pairings in SL In Smith & Chase rather a bold statement considering they haven't played together much.

Am sure Smith will turn out the better of the two, he looked last season at our place. When playing for Wakey.

Nice try in trying to avoid my point.

You're right in saying some Salford fans have said that. They fall into the same pigeon hole as you on this one.

So, going back to my original point, you are ok to judge a pairing off one viewing?

Chase deserved the binning (persistent offending) - and probably a ban too (for the tackle itself). Clear as day chicken wing on Mick Monaghan. Trying to injure a fellow pro is just unacceptable, and the clearly was Chase's intention. Nutcase.

i especially like the fact that he tried to start a fight directly on teh spot where monas head was.

How many salford fans were there?x

600-700

600-700

Wow that's a pretty impressive turnout, can't think of any time when we've taken around a quarter of all our supporters to an away game in SL never mind a friendly !!!!!

Koukash just said on radio Manchester close to 1k. I presume he has the ticket sales. Was a great turn out for a friendly game mid week. Lots of new faces there.

There was no way on this planet there was 1k in there halve the stand was closed

Definitely no more than 750, still not a bad effort for a Wednesday evening friendly.

To be fair. 750 could be classed as close to 1000 if we're rounding up.

Dr Koukash isn't exactly acquainted with telling the truth is he?

To me it looked like Chase got sin-binned when he shoved a Warrington player in the back rather than the actual tackle.

As regards the Salford support......483....I counted...lol

Chase is a quality player.

I remember going to Cas in 2012. We were 30-0 up at half time, and then 34-0 just after the restart. It was a really hot day, and I sat on the crumbling terraces with my then 6 year old. Cas were attacking our end in the second half, and we were treated to 20 minutes of the Rangi Chase show. They nearly beat us that day, and I remember my lad asking me why Chase didn't play for us. It was probably the best 20 mins I've ever seen a half back produce, and I'd have in in our team tomorrow.

We're not playing anyone tomorrow

Chase was an idiot all game, he completely lost it at some points and I think he was trying to get Westwood to react which to his credit he just stood his ground!

Anyone else see Morley's swing and miss on Hill and his almost immediate apology?

Yes, it was a real rush of blood a throw back to his younger days and almost Englandesque

Was beginning to wonder if I'd imagined this given that it hadn't been mentioned on here. He did apologise straight away but things did gget a bit tasty in the 2nd half

Definitely a glimpse of the old Morley. England certainly wanted to make an impression when he came on, he was running round like mad making tackle after tackle and then realised he was knackered so had to calm down!

one thing i noticed in the game is that when hes not in a Warrington shirt i began to notice a lot more, just how dirty Morley is.

I couldn't make it to the game. What kind of reception did Morley get?

Very low key IMO. There was a bit of pantomime booing when Salford took the field, but, presumably that was aimed at Hansen if it was indeed aimed at anyone at all?

There were a few young scallies in the corner (nearest away fans) of the South Stand singing his name.

Heard on good authority today, regarding the Ratchford injury in the GF , the following points ....

Ratchford & Hansen are best friends off the pitch , Hansen was the first to our dressing room after the match to see how Ratchford was, & Ratchford considers the injury as nothing but an accident despite how bad it seemed to come about at the time.
