Penalty count should have been hell of a lot higher and how Gibson's try was disallowed I'll never know! And your first try FFS, well if you didn't go to the game watch it yourself on the highlights and tell me if you've ever seen a more blatant obstruction in a game of rugby league!!!

Good turn out by your mob today, but I think on the whole we deserved it. Our goal line defence was awesome in the second half

Ive thought Matin has look good in attack personally. Although I agree that wing does look like a defensive weak spot, Warrington and Hull KR certain exploited it.

For me our majoir issue is ball respect.

Salford are not very good. HTH.

Good enough to beat Hull... and you won't be the last team we turn over either.

Wow, I did not see that coming. Honest. That's what makes it so disappointing, see? If you get beat by a good side, you accept it. Getting beat by a rubbish one is a little harder to take.

We had a bad day at the office. Salford will probably turn a few teams over during the course of the season, but they'll still fail to make the top 8, as usual.

Double post.

We will see how Salford get on later in the season at the KC. I think the result will be somewhat be different than it was at your place.

How can a statement with 'scrapping for the top 8' and 'realistic' come after 3 games?

Actually,I think I would be more peed off about losing if I was a Saints fan right now.
Although I am disappointed with our result,I will not bring out the pitch fork and burning torch just yet.

Of course it is early but do you honestly think that we have a squad that is capable of finishing above Wire, Saints, Wigan, Cats, Leeds or Hudds ?

I certainly do not !

Pathetic comment deserves a pathetic response....

However... I fail to see why Salford are classed as a 'rubbish' team... I've watched this game long enough that you accept being beaten by a better team on the day should be easy enough to take. In this competition there will be a number of smaller clubs beating bigger clubs over the course of the season. I accept that Hull are a bigger club than Salford... you get to spend a heap more on salaries than we do... but Salford have some decent players at the club... ones that certainly deserve to be playing at SL level. I think perhaps you should re-think using the word 'rubbish'. I think the real problem is that many Hull fans suffer from delusions of grandeur based on perhaps playing in a bigger stadium and having a richer history makes you feel that you deserve to be better right now.... well let me tell you... you don't... you aren't anywhere near the best team in SL... I mean... it's hard to say that you're the best team in Hull.

salford deserved the win,smith had a very good kicking game ,we wasnt good enough and didnt take the chances offered to us to win the game,school boy errors,like ive said on another thread success will not arrive over night,the club was ripped apart from top to bottom,i believe in gentle and things will come good,credit to salford for the win,we wont be the last team to lose to them.

There's nothing like dignity in defeat.



Why the contempt for Salford? We've lost a game on an ice rink, gave Saints a game for 50 minutes, played great stuff against Widnes and dug in to beat your lot last night. Maybe a few more defeats and you'll learn to respect the opposition more.

Well said Wolfie me owd mucker. FYI this is Neil, Sarahs friend

Exactly! All those teams look much better than Hull at the moment. I would add Catalans Dragons to that list as well.

Erm......Cats are already on the list





....and I'm sure he doesn't mean wildcats

I can see the words he wrote very clearly. He does not mention the Dragons at all.

He does list Cats. Cats are Wildcats. Catalans are Dragons. It's not hard.

I would expect HFC to be finishing higher than Wakey though, despite the slip up against the Reds.

Because they're not very good. Do try and keep up.

Ergo, you're even worse. Do try and keep up.

We were yesterday. Look at the league table in October, and it will tell a different story.

Don't be a =#FF0000Not that word thanks - Chris all your life!! He clearly means Catalan when he refers to Cats

Amazing - so you can see into the future. Hmm...

I'd rather deal with the here and now. Less than 24 hours ago you were beaten in a real, actual, competitive match, so I would guess that means you are currently not as good as Salford. You may have more fans and a better ground. But what a lot of your fans seem to lack is a sense of respect for the opposition and an acceptance of your true position. We fans of 'lesser' clubs have had to learn the hard way, unfortunately, to lose with dignity, something which you may have to get used to - especially with McRae in charge

I'd be happy to put my money where my mouth is. Shall we say the person whose club finishes lower will pay £20 to the Steve Prescott fund? There's no way Salford will be higher than Hull. You'll be lucky to finish above Wakefield.

Oh, and, Gentle. Peter Gentle.

Bloody hell their are more Salford fans on this thread than attend their games.

I shall give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the missing word is "pedant".

It is not pedantic to expect clubs to be called by their correct names.

You Shark fans should understand this better than most!
