Looking forward to this one.



Is there any wonder the game struggles when we'll have Fonua, Ellis, Taylor, Logan & Sneyd (Talanoa probably too come Saturday) sat in the stands injured along with Tomkins, Manfredi, Gildart, Gelling, Bateman, Escare, Flower & Clubb from Wigan? There's the bulk of a top8 side there. Not to mention Griffin & Watts suspended (I agree with Griffin being suspended, but not Watts).

The RFL really have to start taking player welfare seriously. Not to mention the knock-on effects of dishing up a poor standard of rugby with sponsors, attendances, media attention etc.

It was the same at Catalans, I think they had nine players out(?).

Tom Davies should've been banned for this game for his late slide on Tupou.

Wigan have 2 start on the coupon...another punt for me.

From the results I've seen Wigan look useless

Leigh and Saints and Dragons also looked useless

Let's bloody hope we aren't the most useless of the most useless teams

It is now scratch with sky bet.

We're not going to win another sleep game until we stop dropping the ball and giving away stupid penalties. You can't forget that both leigh and catalans were in the bottom 4 and on long losing runs when we played them. We desperately need some bodies back

Just watching Storm v Knights
Storm haven't allowed Knights one tackle in the Storm 20 after 65 minutes

I'm telling you we are MILES and MILES away from being a ruthless team capable of winning GFs regularly.

Bellamy as a coach is just a complete physco when it comes to discipline and people being accountable for their roles.

Being average, never mind poor, is simply not acceptable to this coach.

Give the guy the available spend and player pool the SL coaches get and he'd have to deal with a fair smattering of average and a large chunk of poor

Any tips from your mate Tim Glassby?

No Bowden so Downs to come in for him, I fear the worst

3 of our 4 first choice props out

Saints look useless!! Get to specsavers asap!

I think its you who needs specsavers Des

Hoping to make this game, I'm running the Wharfedale Fell half marathon in Grassington starting at 11am, so going to be a bit tight to run the race, get home to Leeds, then over to Hull. We're desperate for a win so need the black and white army out in strength tomorrow.

If we can some how get a result tomorrow and get some confidence back, it sounds like we could have Taylor, Fonua and maybe Ellis back for Salford, plus Griffin and Watts could give us our strongest side in a while.

Masi would have played in France but he didn't have a passport!!!

If thats true that is emabrassing for club and player, we've known for about 6 months when we'd be flying to France, every member of the first team squad should have a valid passport.

It's got to be the players fault, they are old enough to check there own passport and it's true, Listen to Radfords interview in the preview to tomorrow's game.

I think it comes down to both. The player should have the passport but surely the club should have a list of all the players necessary documents so that it will flag up when one expires?

26-4 up at HT, don't think anyone could have predicted that.
We've looked a different side even taking into account Wigan are clearly not on it in that first half.
Washbrook having a great game in a more natural position for him.
just so frustrating when you see us perform like this and then look back at the recent defeats.

another short kick off cock up

Can't argue with that. Well done lads. My daughters first game as well!

Their second one marshall was miles ofside, the touchie wasn't even looking for it ffs!

Well done boys great effort.
Radford will be relieved and pleased with the win but not too happy the way we gave them most of their tries from mistakes and when we switched off late in the game.

Sensational team performance given the forwards we had available. First 40 we rolled them, completely unexpected. Mini and Thompson both really stood up IMO with Taylor, Watts, Ellis and Bowden all out but credit to the bench and Rawsthorne also, youngsters really acquired themselves well. Hopefully one or two back next week.
