Thank you Jackson Hastings. Do the same in your next match against Warrington who you have already seen off twice this season and finishing second is in our own hands with the bonus that your own team Salford could well be in the play-offs as well.

Add in Lee Mossop 2 tries and Jake Bibby 1 try, thank you.

Fantastic result. They could shake the play offs up in this form Salford.

It’s brilliant to have a top 3 place in our hands now.

Salford have three winnable games left: Wire (h), Leeds (a) and HKR (h) with a points difference of +161. If some of the other results go their way they could sneak 2nd or 3rd especially as Cas and Hull have to play each other.

Well done Salford.

Though, let’s all be honest, this is SL; if they get in the play offs they’ll get walloped by 40’odd points and Old trafford will be 2 of either Saints, Wigan & Warrington.

I wouldn't be so sure. They lost narrowly (2 pts) to Saints and should have won. They have beaten Hull, Castleford, Wire comfortably already, and also beat Catalan 46 - 0 away.
Don't take them lightly.

Agree.
They play some decent stuff too.
I'm pretty confident that they will may the playoffs and that would be a great achievement.

It’s an immense achievement for them to not only be in the play off hunt but in with a chance of coming second with only 3 games to go. Same goes for London still in with a chance of survival.

One thing stands out from the two results tonight and that is what good young coaches Watson and Ward are. They’ve both done an exceptional job this year in not the easiest circumstances. It’s amazing to think London are still a fair chance of staying up at this stage. I hand on heart didn’t see them winning more then 2 games maximum.

Salford has always been my No.2 team, My dad played for them in the 1920s when he trasferred from Wigan where he couldn't break into the first team. My granddad played for Wigan (heritage No.85) and all our family have always been Wigan fanatics. It would be great to see a Wigan/Salford Grand Final.

Ian Watson has to be a shoe in for coach of the year.

Ward a close second.

As a Hull fan, it was a joy to watch Hastings at the weekend. Absolutely fantastic player who will be fantastic for you next year

Great reading the very honest posts here. As a long suffering Salford fan, this season has been an incredible journey. Watson should be in with a shout at coach of the year. Smallest budget, smallest squad, and with the exception of Hastings, pretty much everyone elses cast-offs and a smattering of home-grown talent. (Yes we do have a few of those!)

Hastings is going to be a big miss for us. He's a winner and always gives his all. Apart from the quality he's shown on the pitch, you're also getting a great bloke off it. He didn't need to give us this season as Wigan were desperate for him last season, but he said he wanted to show a little loyalty in the team that gave him a second chance.

I'd love a Wigan Salford GF. I can't see past Saints and yourselves though. As long as it's not Wire, I'll be fine.

Hey, so would I!

Why would they get walloped, strange attitude and one begging to be shoved back down your throat. Salford look good to me.

They remind me of Trinity two years back when we got stopped by Saints by a single try. We got knocked out but hardly a walloping.

And an incredibly fortunate try it was too!

Wakey were great that year.

It’s SL. It’s what happens, 9 times out of 10. It’s one of the things which makes our sport boringly predictable.

There are not many blow out scores in the play offs. Most are tightly fought contests and if Salford make the five, they’ve done because of good rugby and consistency. I don’t think they’d progress to the GF but I’m fairly sure they’ll give a good account of themselves.

Hastings is now 10 to 1 on for Man of Steel!

Eagerly awaiting AS108's highly detailed statistical analysis proving every Saints player is better than him and more deserving of the MoS award.

Perhaps not after today's C Up Final.

Why? I understood that the MOS is based on assessment by a representative, from a panel of experts, who attends each Superleague game. What has the Cup Final got to do with it?

If Warrington celebrate this cup win properly, the quick turn around to Salford away on Thursday will be a tough challenge for them. Most Cup winners suffer a dip in form following Wembley so I’ll be hoping for Hastings to take them apart. Looking forward to that match.

He has taken them apart twice this season without them having a cup final hangover. Who knows maybe the change in mentality after their cup success will bring a change in fortune. I hope not.
