Was mentioned on RH that Taylor and Mini were taken off just to rest them.

Cannot believe our injuries this year. Thankful of the depth of our squad.

I reckon westerman has knacked his knee and could be gone for some time.

Strange game where we struggled to get out of our 20 at times and other looked like we could score from anywhere. Good to see the younger players get some valuable game time.

connor was class all night and a clear MOTM for me

Salford rallied early but twice when they were in for sure we intercepted and scored, so the scoreline flattered us a bit at half time. Thought the young kids played excellently tonight, and Connor ran the show, special mentions to Downs and Logan who I've doubted this season but both played a blinder.

Turgut warmed up with the team so assume he's home, Westy out gives him his chance.

Agreed, think Westerman might be a bad one. Scored a couple of brilliant tries tonight. Some fantastic experience this year for our emerging players. Miloudi continues to progress, feisty competitor.

Some great attacking plays on show, if anything the makeshift side has made us more unpredictable. It also helps that we have options like Miloudi, Harris, Connor and Carlos who all can play in the halves and can create something. Years ago we used to have two half-backs and when even one got injured our form dropped, now we cope much better.

Faraimo needs to sort his discipline out though, he had a good game but at 43-0 up and with Salford having just knocked on he doesnt need to by flying in, in a closer game a sin-binning could have cost us.

Young players have really stood up this year. Looks good for the future.
Miloudi is already a cult hero, Logan had a really strong game and Harris looks very assured for a young half back. Not re-signing him could really come back to bite the Dobbins in years to come.
Masi really looks the part now as well.

Throw Lane, Scott, Downs, Fash, Litten in as well, Radford certainly giving young players their opportunities, average age 2nd half was 22 at one point he said. Solid platform and invaluable individual and collective experience.

We have a really good squad thats for certain.
Love Miloudi, I think the fans are really warming to him
Connor man of the match
Faraimo unlucky IMO

Thought Litten offered a lot as well. I was surprised he wasn't in the original squad to be honest
Gives us a dimension to our play we dont get from anyone else.
LR has managed the transition of the younger players really well.

Agree but he looks more like a halfback than a hooker, great speed at the play the ball, super prospect, Tag outstanding first half, Greeny looks great with more minutes, Downs Logan Maloudi Fash Matongo outstanding from our young guns, bring on the pies.

All commets posted during the game are from approx. half time or two people discussing the radio commentary, one of whom is located in Somerset. Doesn't seem weird to me.

Really pleasing performance. The second half can be excused given that we only used fourteen players and also not forgetting the short turnaround after the Saints game and the fact we were taking on a team who hadn't played for a fortnight.

Connor was excellent, Miloudi continues to impress and will cause Radford some selection headaches when the injury situation improves. Faraimo is a real handful but as has been said needs to work on his discipline. He will be getting a reputation that will go against him like Watts. We don't want him getting binned or sent off in a potential play off game.

Taylor 119m from 11 carries and he only played about 25 mins didn't he?

Yeah Logan fantastic in Defence tonight and took his try well. Faraimo excellent again but did hit Salford player with his shoulder to the head hope he's not getting a ban and deem sin bin as sufficient. Like the way Radders rested Taylor and Minichello and gave the youngsters big minutes in the 2nd half. Connor a maverick again outstanding, love Miloudi's energy always looking for the ball, Litten looked good out of dummy half too.

Some great stats from the young players - 49 tackles from Downs is outstanding.

He said in the post-match interview he wanted them to experience playing beyond the point they'd usually come off and battle through the fatigue.
Good management with the game effectively won. While it's tough atm this experience will serve us well in the long term I reckon.

Thought Downs showed up well, as he did against Widnes, I wonder if his uni studies have held him back from progressing more? Always held his own, looks like he’s bulked up again too recently.

Litten showed why he is a must in the 17 whenever Houghton is unavailable.

Logan did good, up against a big centre in Sa’u and handled him well, pleasing to see after his iffy game last week.

Miloudi impressive again, handful, full of enthusiasm, getting quick play of the balls and penalties. Slots straight in as a Radford winger.

have said for awhile didn't think downs was good enough, but fair play he played well last night and yes he has bulked up a bit,

Wasnt there last night but its good to hear Downs did well again. As I said earlier in the thread I thought he deserved another go after a good showing against Widnes.

The stats for the game are odd. If you didnt know the score and looked at the stats you would think it had been tight, possibly with Salford edging it. Seems like we won by being able to produce half a dozen great moments rather than dominating the game. Good to hear Logan played a lot better. Miloudi has taken to SL like a duck to water.

We dominated the first half to such an extent that we played the 2nd with an average age of 22 apparently. Radford said he wanted the likes of Downs, Fash Masi a taste of having to play longer minutes than they'd expect. Great learning experience.

Radders keeps on proving what an astute coach he is. The supply chain of young players coming through and proving their worth in Superleague is tremendous and a great tribute to the whole coaching team. If they're good enough then in Radders eyes they're old enough. The future is bright!!

As well as his hat-trick Bureta utilised that right foot boot inside from the touchline again last night to set up a score.
It's a nice weapon in his armoury that's he's employed successfully a few times since signing.
Finesse as well as bulldozing strength.

An aspect of play that Mahe didn't possess. Although he didn't find himself as far the wrong side of the discipinary as Bureta.

The fans have a real appetite for this Burrito
guy
Seems a bit spicy for my liking

Bureta Faraimo :-

mmm... clash of heads now deemed to be worth a yellow card, or was it the so called "shoulder charge",
even though there is no mention of contact with the shoulder.

No charge.
