Stevie Ward was the best left centre and right centre out there today, showed a lot of creativity with ball in hand on both sides of the pitch.

I didn't go the game as I was returning from holiday but the first half Leeds sounded superb - hopefully this is the pick up in form they needed.

With 9 games to the play offs against the better sides it will a test of how competitive this side is with Wigan getting back to something like their best and Saints picking up a few wins

Hearing McGuire had a very good game. Can anyone tell me how lilley did when he got on?

I'd like to give special mention to the try saving tackle from Ryan Hall in the first half. Phenomenal effort.

Very good. But McGuire was superb first half with the momentum. Best player out there.

Parcell and Cuthbertson were brilliant all game, and Hall came up with some big moments. Think Galloway is getting better each week also.

Yeah agree with that. The top 8 looks trickier this year as those teams in 6th-8th won't be giving up like in previous seasons. Salford are struggling now and I think that's 4 losses from 5 in the league with a cup win inbetween and could see more losses with the semi final on the horizon distracting them, if they were to actually get to the final then they could really free fall.

Likewise whoever wins our semi final could take a hit inter league but if we can beat Hull on Friday it would give us a bit of a gap over them to work with.

Interesting to see how Cas manage the end of the Top 8's. It's looking like they'll claim the LLS with 4 maybe 5 games to spare. They'll obviously want to rest key players then to keep them fresh for the playoffs, the key for Powell is getting the balance right between resting players but making sure you take momentum into the playoffs.

I honestly thought child had a good game . The game flowed for both sides.he became a bit whistle happy in last 20but mainly in salfords favour.

Even if he'd had a terrible game the verbal abuse of referees has gone too far, both at the games and on social media.

I understand people are going to mutter and moan when a decision goes the other way but I think it's going too far and is becoming far too personal.

And of course to verge over into physical abuse/assault is just ridiculous.

Thanks.

Hopefully get some momentum for the 8s. Will help when we start getting players back as well.

Well done Salford for acting so promptly. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/40555052

Galloway is a solid prop, back to doing exactly what he was last year where he took a lot of unfair flak basically for joining a team in turmoil, being the direct replacement for JP and people looking for scapegoats at the time.

Fully agree.

some of the criticism of Galloway was justified at the time, but most people agreed he got better as the season went on and clearly prefers a dry track and warmer weather. plus both this season and last did not get a string of games together too much in first half of season he looks better with a good run of games under his belt. happy enough for me, solid prop but no world beater (although his has kangaroo caps)

I am with Biff on this one. He got unjustified criticism last year and his work was unappreciated by many who just waded in. He is an old fashioned solid prop who does a lot of the hard graft with few errors and would be one of my starting props.
