Govin was injured

he was

Didn't see Govin ,well done to all the players thoroughly enjoyed it apart from some kids in the hospitality making a nuisance of themselves while parents where inside

Give over, south side of the West looked rammed and it was busier than usual where I stand in the North.

I`d say 2000 max.

Pea you haven't taken into account the freebies + 250

Well played lads. Was gutted to miss the game but having seen the result suddenly having spent 5 1/2 hours on the M6, with another hour & half to go, doesn't seem so bad!



How did The Horse go for you? He'll do a cracking job for you this year.

Could not fault a single player. Higson mom for me but we have 3 class acts in Pownall Nicholson and Ellis.

Had we played a Championship side today we would have had a cricket score.

Our pack is awesome. Dead chuffed.

He got the sponsors MOM, did n`t have a bad debut and was always willing to take the ball when we were in our own 20. He also seemed delighted when we scored our 3rd try...



... He `ll settle in fine.

each to there own frank but cant see how you got higson anywhere near mom.

duffy . nash ridyard for me

You are right there but I thought apart from 1 missed tackle in the whole game he was oustanding. So was Nash Meekin and all of them. Great team performance.

2,200 the Attendance.

I'm 100% sure that Govin played and i agree with Frank, couldn't fault a single player. I think Nicholson looks absolutely amazing, i know its only a friendly but him and Duffs really dictated everything, plus Riddy as well, Ellis looks immense. Out of 10 I have to give it 11.

Govin didnt play.

I thought Jonathon Pownall had a great game when on the field, dealt with high balls brilliant and ran the ball back in like a seasoned Full Back, Donlan better be careful his Full Back position will be under threat when Pownall gets some game time behind him. also Thought Local lad Adam Clay had a solid game for Salford aswell. and also Nicholson played really well him and Duffy linked up really well.

I refer you to my post earlier

Great result. To beat a full time SL team is a really good achievement. I thought Ridyard, Nash and Meekin were particularly good.

Is that your guess Dave or the official attendance?

A good first run out for the lads, Duffy was my mom.

Plenty of local lads on show for both sides!! Great to see! Duffs and Nico is gunna be some partnership when the get firing, we just need some more ideas in attack and to make the most of field position. Riddy needs to get to Harriers as well!

I'd be asking more about his lack of support than his lack of pace.

Was that local lads from both Leigh and Salford.........Regards Riddy he went 80 yds and got caught inches from the line, can`t see the issue .

I've heard no one mention Bibey's contribution today,I was his biggest critic last season because he used to walk with the ball in hand but not today. He ran hard & made metres all I wanted him to do last season was run with the ball & he did with great impact like I knew he was capable of

Agreed. Even a couple of players in support might have meant a quick play the ball and a waltz over the line. Great run from Riddy though and he did well to get as far as he did considering he had two tacklers on his tail for at least 30m.

Riddy must be our fastest back, deserved a try for the effort. In Sl it would have been finished off by a winger and would've been the try of the season. None of our wingers were within 20 yards of him when he got tackled. If he'd have gone low 5 yds from line he's have slid over and scored one of the best tries at the LSV. He'll be the player of the season for me now he's fully fit.

Originally Salford speccies were to be in South Stand but a series of frozen pipes and various other weather initiated issues meant that they were instead seated in West South.

Can you toe the "South Stand wasn't open because Salford have bugger all away support" party line please, Andy?
