well they have had their helping start and now they have hit that brick wall,



saints tonight look the dream team

I made a comment to the lad tonight and he couldn't believe it



they was looking for a reason not to give it rather than look to give it, after the no try decision it then went on to show the complete rerun on a different angle only to show a good grounding

I know Snowie, some of the refereeing decisions are already starting to leave a sour taste in my mouth this season. Obviously things do and will get missed on the pitch, but how the hell can they get away with that. Somethings bent when happenings like that are occurring.

Kyle Amor MOTM, closely followed by James Roby and Luke Walsh.

Saints really do look like the real deal so far.

stated why we lost our game for his reply to be but they cant get a team to win the league like that, mine was but it keeps them still in the game



second half they was blown away, we wasn't



yes it does leave a sour taste

Leeds and Huddersfield don't look to shabby either. The first five players on the team sheet for Leeds will rip some teams to pieces this year.

Major reality check for Salford tonight.

They have some way to go to be certain of top 8, never mind any talk of top 4 or grand finals.

Amor's first spell was superb in both attack and defence and now he is wearing a Saint's shirt, he may get some recognition from MacBanana.

Saints are the early pace setters by a mile, even Shudds and Leeds are some way behind them at the moment.

Some people have had a go at Hock tonight but, IMO he was Salfords best player.

Yep but worry not, another cheque will be posted to Red hall to cover any charges.

Spot on- Final crowd much less than our game

Saints were a joy to watch last night - some of their full length efforts were awesome. Free-flowing, enterprising and entertaining rugby - great stuff!



Bit of a reality check for Salford; Morley looked jaded, Gleeson was awol, Meli was begging to come off and Timmy had one of his stinkers - and I told you he couldn't kick in play.





At least they now know what level they'll have to achieve to trouble the top 4-6 clubs.

Add to that Dixon ,Lee ,Howarth, Ashurst et al I would be extremely miffed if any of them came to us.



The there's Timid Smith, must be the deal of the centuary to get a fee for him

I think Salford will struggle from what I've seen so far. They were lucky to get a win against us, and giving up an 18 point lead is not a good omen. I understand they laboured a bit in the second half in London, and last night they were just second rate.



Noble will turn them into a steady mid-table outfit but he'll win them nothing. His trademark is workmanlike teams, His Bulls team was just very big blokes plodding up and down a muddy pitch. They never excited me, even though there were people like Pryce in there. His Crusaders team was efficient, given the resources, and he always struggled with Wigan, a club whose fans expected some flair. The main complaint of the Wigan fans seemed to be that it was all a bit boring under Noble. As soon as he left, they became a champion side with pretty much the same players.



That team is not a title-chasing team, let alone a title-winning team. It's a building block, nothing more, and if you think of the youth at teams like Wigan and Saints, it will be years before Salford dominate.



The only question for Salford is how patient Koukash is.



And the new fans will soon get sick of being gridlocked every home game. Putting the kick-off back twice now to get 7,000 fans in?
