Salford had a lot of energy and more enterprise but Rovers dug in. I feel the Rovers we have seen for much of 2011 would have capitulated but not this time. Even as the first half counted down I thought someone would score and break the deadlock. Happily it was Rovers and it was Blake Green a man who has for me really exceeded expectations, especially with his ability to cross the whitewash.

Into the second half and still very unclear as to the eventual winner but Rovers looking more and more assured. Try of the game from Ben Cockayne but 0-12 isn't a commanding lead these days. Salford as in the first half had plenty of good field position and were certainly still in the game but Rovers defence seemed to get stronger & stronger and looked ever more capable of keeping Salford out.

Kris Welham then scored a try which he could not have done maybe even last year. He has now added strength and power to his game and managed to force his way towards the line and then get the ball down despite 3 or 4 tacklers trying to stop him. This man is now the real deal, I feel Yeaman will have to step aside for him when it comes to international honours.

Salford continued to have a good share of possession and field position but Rovers were now racing into the tackle and driving them back. Whereas some of the first half defending needed to be of a desperate nature now it was dominant.

Rovers polished Salford off with a late drop goal and then a Webster try. 0-25 tells a story but not the whole story because actually Salford were not at all bad tonight. They gave it everything but when they were on top Rovers wouldn't submit and those long spells clinging onto 0-0 were the matchwinner.

Forget the Bradford win this was far more important. Tonight we played a team who believed they could beat us and played confidently to the limit of their ability. Rovers overcame that and ended up convincing winners. Last week Hull had a bit of a 'soft' win against Salford but nobody would have had a soft win against them tonight.

Rovers finished the game dominant strutting around like a peacock. It had been real tough but if you finish a battle on the right side of 0-25 you've done OK.

If pmh ever holds a party I recommend you stay in and wash your hair. He's been at a different game to me tonight.
