As others have said the 1st half performance was terrible. It was going along way to finally kill super league in London. 2nd half absolutely unbelievable. Played like a real team. brilliant. The fans really got behind the players. They seemed to mentally click for the first time in the season in the 2nd half. Rinaldi (burrows/roby display) and Randell on for all the 2nd half helped speed things up. Gower (best player we have got) superb positional kicking. Top day out. Going to Cas now.

Just got home & have to keep pinching myself to make sure I didn't dream that result up.
We were all walking round stunned after that second half display, unable to believe what we had just witnessed.
Congratulations to all concerned, both players & staff. Now start believing in what you can do.

Still can't make sense of what happened but whatever it was, I like it.
We appear to have two teams, different one played in each half. Just hope that it was the first half squad who were the imposters.
Chris Melling must have made the shortest appearance of his career. Hope he's OK. I thought that the Salford player, Jordan James?, led with the elbow, but there was no penalty and no "on report" signal from the ref.

I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time. Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I've ed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the ing difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do? [/i

No your right i dont think there were any shirts with Selco on them although i was looking more at the leisure range so there may have been some. Some good items in now like jogging bottoms, polo shirts, shorts etc. plus the rain jackets, coats and other stuff that went out of stock fast are now all back on the shelfs.
Dont know about the season ticket discount mate as im not one, but with more games like this i could well be.  |

Wish they would update the website club shop with items, it is saying polo shirts out of stock and only showing the light blue strip?
Just trust we will always put Rugby League on the logo, again yesterday out shopping someone asked was it a basketball team.

Surely that's an oppotunity to explain a bit about the club that you might not otherwise have had. When I was in the US earlier this year I lost count of the number of people who asked about the logo becuase it was one they had not seen before (including the guys checking my passport both in and out !!). |

Of course you can always look at it that way no doubt, but I'm Proud to state to everyone who looks at it and may not ask that it is a Rugby League Club in the Capital of the UK London. |

Fantastic comeback. That's going to be one of those games everyone remembers for years to come, like the 36-36 draw with Leeds in 2004.
It was amazing how Salford fell to pieces after looking fairly efficient for the first half. I know they were struggling for decent half backs, so perhaps they didn't have anyone capable of wresting back the momentum once we got on top, but they seemed to cause us all sorts of defensive problems with their passing and movement in wide areas in the first half.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in our dressing room at half time. I thought Rinaldi was outstanding in the second half. He seems to have that knack of adding a new dimension to our attacking play by coming off the bench and not really playing in an orthodox single position, a bit like Stanley Gene often used to when playing against us for various clubs. That was only my third game of the season, but Dixon looks a tremendous prospect while Gower is clearly a class act, although in the other games I saw (against Widnes and Leeds) I thought we seemed far too reliant on him to orchestrate our attacking play.
I wasn't going to come back this year after the Leeds debacle, but the change of coach persuaded me to make the effort. For the first half we looked like we were carrying on where we left off in that match, but it was well worth it in the end. The way the players' improved performance began to lift the crowd was superb. It was all much more enjoyable and exciting than a comfortable sixty point win!
Wasn't that ref the touch judge from the Castleford game a couple of years back, who signalled an absurd try against us when their player (Ferres?) dropped the ball as Clubb(?) appeared from nowhere to shunt him into touch?
And as for the record 22 points turnaround - maybe my memory is playing tricks but I'm sure we blew a 22-0 lead against Bradford at Griffin Park in 2005. I found a stats page for that game but it doesn't give the scoring sequence so I can't be certain:

Yup. Already mentioned somewhere on here.
I think that Clubb may be due before the beaks for his very late "tackle" on a Salford player who'd lost the ball and was already on the ground. |

Watching the highlights our first half defence was as bad as ever, in particular Caro, over half the tries were his fault.
