I was generalising. Again, I think most people can see some good points and some bad. There are obviously a few exceptions. The point I was making was that, when things are as charged as they have been in recent weeks, there is a tendency to jump down the throat of other posters without just taking a moment to appreciate why they are posting as they are.

I know what you're saying but generally people who try to take a balanced view are not the type of people who jump down posters throats. Some of the extreme posts on here in the last few weeks have deserved it mind

I'm not so sure. Some of the people who would say they try to take a balanced view, jump down other poster's throats for not taking the same balanced view that they do.
They might call them 'pathetic' for example.
Sometimes when fans get down about what's happening, they can only see the bad things. It doesn't mean they are less of a fan, or that they love their club any less, it's just the way they deal with the predicament we find ourselves in.

Quite.
You'd hope confidence will be raised with the result if not the general performance.
The returning (and hopefully arriving) players will generate more competition for places.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it at all this evening, but we're only two points behind Leeds who are in second place. And Salford beat Leeds. At Headingly.
Joking aside, I agree. Not a sparkling performance but an improvement on recent weeks and a small step in the right direction. Sometimes the confidence boost from ugly wins like this can be the impetus for a side to turn things around.
Here's hoping.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

I think the Castleford game will be a much better indicator than Salford. A win at Murrayfield might just reveal a few green shoots of recovery.

and there were moments within the game that made a difference too, calderwood chasing and forcing the error being one of them.
