thought the score line didn't reflect our defensive effort tbh! Cashmere was at fault for two soft trys in the 2nd half both on our line, first with grahams try and then cunninghams. He still doesn't look fit enough to me! A positive for me was the defensive effort from turner and ratchford! when i saw them lining up against gidley and gardner i feared the worst but they kept gidley really quiet tonight! Thought swain had a top game also!

I tell you something, some of your guys can scoot. I don't know who they were (I don't know who half my own team are half the time - can't see!), but they were zapping around all over the place. Keep on building the fitness levels (which will happen as the season continues) and those guys (whoever they were!) will be a real threat.

well done reds
how do you know those players played well if you listened to it on the radio???
Some positives last night, mind you we could not have got much worse?
Lots of unforced errors in the first half, poor kicking game by smith getting caught 3 times in the first half on the 5th when we needed to put the ball in their half to take the pressure off Nash knocked on twice on the first & second tackle.
Cashmere I thought was poor no conviction going forward although the same cannot be said of Big Phil who continually made an inpact with his strong running.
Second half we used the ball better, played out our set of six better, I thought Robbie Paul played well directing the play, strong running throughout the game by Swain, Adamson, nice try by young Thornley.
Negitives, Ratchford wasted out wide, Smith clearly lacks confidence, Littler just no good enough for Super League but he works hard.
Finally very poor turn out by Salford fans although I can understand why.

Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book
