The main difference between the sides was that the Salford three-quarters were more incisive.
Harlequins were in our half for the majority of the game but they were so poor they couldn't take advantage. It also looked like their second try should have been pulled back for a knock-on.
Have to say that was the worst Quins/broncos team I have ever watched.
Of course one win does not make you into world beaters, but this afternoon the boys shown a lot of guts and also what was most pleasing to see was the team spirit.
OK the game was not a classic but a wins a win and hopefully we can kick on from today and go to Wakefield next Sunday with a bit of hope.
I thought today Jeremy Smith had his best game for the Reds and also the goal kicking of Daniel Holdsworth was pretty dam good.
All in all it's been a good day out down in the Capital

Mate I think we've got the smallest pack in the league, we only have Ray Cashmere with any real saze and he's not played for about a month.

Having just watched the tries on boots n all, m.smith and holdsworth looked like they combined pretty well! The passing along the line for broughtons try was class and you could see how much it meant to the players to take the lead in the game! Also J.Smith is a definate for a ban after taking out Orr, he didn't miss anyway! ha

Great to get our first win, you could see how much it meant to the players at the end. But lets not get too carried away I still thought we were poor especially in the first half our lack of yardage is worrying at times we didn't make 5 meters on a set of 6 (No I'm not exaggerating). Quins were really really poor going forward, but to be fair our goal line defence was good apart from the soft try Orr scored from dummy half. I just fear that if it were anyone else we played on Sunday we have been beaten comfortably. The second half was all us though and we played some good stuff, quins didn't look like they could cope at times. All in all I'm pleased with the win, but still very worried for the season ahead.
