may aswell move on as no surprise losing lastnight after the short turnaround.

can we actually get a win at salford this year? we cant beat them with a poor team nevermind an improved one.

hopefully cudjoe and patrick are back to inject abit of life into us and also connor at full back with grix prob getting a ban.

brough may also get a ban..which would prob see bailey go into the halves

got my tickets, behind the posts £18 for adults. hopefully must of us go here.
£20 side on seats.

Was a decent following (for us) last year crammed into the seats, alas now they have given us oceans of room I fear there will be few of us to fill it.

I will be there...not really confident as i never am going to Salford these days but we have to A) win sometime and B) beat Salford sometime so lets have the 2 together !.

I'm not sure which Salford team will take the field next week, we're extremely schizophrenic at present, but hopefully, the game will be a decent spectacle (as it usually is) and regardless of the result both sets of fans go home feeling entertained!!!!

Good luck with your new coach.....detested by Crusaders fans hated by Welsh supporters. Thank God he is no longer the national coach.

I think we said something similar before the Challenge Cup match. Oh well.

So it wasn't the refs fault this time then, and this is the excuse being used?

Not that Hull were better than you or wanted it more??

Nah, Hull are crap.

Ok... Onto Salford! They have a good team on paper, can play structured stuff and with chase the off the cuff stuff comes off really well too! They are an energetic team who will be ready to knock the indifferent giants down a peg or two!!

What our boys need to do is knock that enthusiasm for six! The level of inconsistency between games is ridiculous! The saints game and Leeds Game showed we can match the best teams and compete, unfortunate for us Catalans, hull, widnes performances have been way off the mark!

Can our lads again bring there a game as we have seen this season or are we doomed to watch a mediocre performance because our players feel they just have to turn up and not give it there whole team effort

nope betham wasnt the ref lastnight.

two wins over easter will be good for us, very possible...the salford game is the harder one of the two

will be able to make this game, are most people standing or going for seats?

Hopefully lads can have some good play right off from the start, get a quick try and the confidence we're lacking at the moment will come flooding back! COYG

I presume most will go for the standing as it's cheaper

standing for me, even though it's behind the posts, if we can get a few hundred stood up we can possibly get a good atmosphere going..
as for the game, salford at easter is one game i dread, we hardly ever win there, we hardly ever turn up,even though we usually have a good following.
it could go either way, both teams have players who are more than capable of turning it on and both teams seem to lack confidence or have any momentum.
hopefully we get a confidence boosting win and our season flourishes after..

Both end terraces are very shallow so will be going down the side and to be honest the £2 extra to get a better view is worth it.

Funbus lot are going down the side.

Looking at the next 5 games id be disappointed if we didnt win at least 4

salford, wakefield, castleford, london, bradford.

Yea I agree! Nothing taken for granted though! Teams are competitive and we are on and off the boil between games!

Salford have a good squad, Hanson, hock, mullaney, sau, chase, smith ect they have a whole load of strick although are leaking points! We have to go there and play a defensive game and shut them down and build a platform, knock there confidence and build ours!

Wakey, well god knows, was well until the Leeds double header, sure they are able of a good performance and not to be taken lightly

Cas..... Jesus what a team they are at the min! Score for fun and are aggressive! Can we match the intensity and hostile crowd? We will need to bring our a game to get owt from that

London ok we should win this but seem to be getting better each week! We don't want to be the side that they click against!

Bradford, again getting better but should be a win if we perform!

I would say four out of five would be brilliant with Cas being the one with too much enthusiasm for us but not sure about Salford either, may catch is cold still!

Play like we did against Wigan saints Leeds we will win don't and well god knows!!

one game at a time!

Hmmm yeah fair point! Think I have a habit of looking too far a head rather than what's infront of us

salford looks to be the hardest of the next 5 games.

hostile cas crowd? its at our place

wakefield/cas and london all home games. bulls magic weekend.

like i say 4 wins and id be happy anything less and i think a top 4 finish will be unrealistic and disappointing..look to a top 6

The last 2 seasons

The Reds usually mug us, they play to a structured plan , slow the game down , bit of niggle, play the percentages, good Kicking game.
The giants play with Gay abandon throw the ball all over the place, and spill it at every oppertunity.
Broughy need to have his head on the right way round for this one, ie. facing play, and not the ref.

If you choose to park on-site at the stadium, please don't moaning our message board afterwards about it taking 45 minutes to get off the car park. They close it for 25 minutes after full time to allow pedestrians to exit, by this time everyone is waiting to leave and there are queues.

You are advised to park at either Barton Airport (directly facing the stadium entrance - £5) or Eccles RLFC (15 minute walk and only £3).

Have a safe trip over.

No we will probably moan at the truly ridiculous turnstile system, ticket office staff who are not only slow and rude but who ignore the queues of people they are being paid to serve to instead text their mates on their phones when kick off should already have started -and the ridiculous length of time it takes to get TO the stadium from the motorway.

You won't be moaning re getting to the stadium, new traffic lights on the roundabout have sorted that issue out. Plus if you pre-purchase your tickets and are organised it sounds like you'll have nothing to moan about.

have always parked at the airport, had no problems getting away after a game, obviously easier with only 1500 at the games i've been to, i suspect there will be at least double that on friday?

as for tickets, i found out last year that this is one are the stadium is absolutely hopeless at!
i'll be pre buying tickets this time but won't be surprised if they move the fans into another stand again!
