I agree, I feel relief but ultimately under-whelmed if that makes sense?

I guess a good yard stick will be Wire, if we give them a game then maybe you could argue this game was a turning point? If we go and get tonked this win means nowt.

Its impossible for me to want FC to lose, but I can't help but feel the result today has just bought LR more time but nothing will really change. Or I am just being overly negative?

Three from four, ninth, game in hand, Ellis and Green back next week.

Good job it's only Wire away. Excellent chance to kick on and cement our place in the top 8.

We are only 2 points behind 4th though with a game in hand

Agree with the above, Abdul showed more in 20 minutes than Howath did in 60.

Sat near Pearson, didn't look happy at all, even at the end, sat next to Nicky Barmy, maybe our attacking coach.

i am relieved more than anything else, on the injury front we had a full pack out tonight, green cunningham paea, bowden ellis, westerman, not a bad pack,

Pretty poor stuff for much of the game but two points is so welcome.

Great try from Sa, showed real determination to get over the line. Good to see Abdul on form too,

We was awfulI MO, But a wins a win as they say

Has anyone trotted out the "papering over the cracks" line yet?

Surely Abdul has to start ahead of Howarth?

Someone did on Twitter.

This is radford were talking about... id have naughton ahead of 'undroppable' yeaman aswell

Game in hand is Wakefield isn't it?

A win is a win but still a very dire style of rugby, how Radford can claim we beat a 'quality' side is beyond me, it was a mid table side decimated by injuries.

7 internationals apparently. Them, not us, obviously.

I'd rather have you than Howarth.

Did we score one try with Howarth on for 60 mins and three in 20 mins with Abdul.

To be fair to haworth and abdull, i dont belive abdulls 30 minutes contributed as massively to our 3 trys as you think, just my opinion tho

Hate moaning about Refs but Child was awful tonight ( For both teams) he is so picky.

Saying that we gave some really dumb penalties away tonight, 2/3 on the 4th/5th tackle.

Also Why did Lineham have a go at the linesman when he scored, another dumb piece of play that could have really cost us.

I commented at the game that our shape looked much better with Abdull on. Whether this just coincided with us getting a bit of a roll on and Salford tiring I don't know but even if thats the case playing Abdull is still prefered. He's hardly a rookie these days and he's at least as capable as Howarth (being generous to Howarth here!) plus he's a long term option.

The mans an utter clown. ..... trys to be contraversial to boost his ego

In a way it did, even if it got Howarth out of the way, at times he was playing like a half and just getting in our way.

Maybe it was a tactic to fetch Abdul on when Salford was tiring.

Perhaps but I still don't see the logic in it. Westerman is out but we have a player with much the same skill set in Adbul (big, strong, good hands, kicking game) so the obvious thing for me would be to play him at LF and use Howarth at SR or prop to spell out other forwards.
Either way it wasn't pretty but at least we won.
Wathcing us attacking line is still like trying to cut a steak with a spoon.

Our backing up on breaks is still as shocking as ever. Pryce makes a great break and Houghton is the only one to back up, not having a go at rankin but you could be your house shaul would have been on the shoulder of houghton

Two poor teams , 3 poor officials , one poor game .
