On the first tackle Saints go wide to Foster who drops the ball and Salford come away to be 20m out from the Saints line.

Holdsworth slides the kick in on the last tackle and Luke Patten is just short of scoring Salford's second try. From the tap on the 20 Salford then relieve the pressure on Saints once again by committing a high tackle on James Graham.

James Roby puts a kick through on the last and is chased by James Graham. The Saints fans erupt as if a try has been scored but the referee wipes it off. Graham isn't happy with the decision and kicks the ball away, as a result of this he is sent for 10 minutes.

Phil Bentham gets a second yellow card out after Ray Cashmere makes yet another high tackle. Both teams now down to 12 men and a prop short. This match is heating up a bit now.

Saints on the Salford line make a forward pass and squander good territory once again.

About the 6th or 7th high tackle now by Salford, this time on Tommy Makinson. Not long before this game erupts or a red card is produced if this continues.

The penalty gives Saints another go form the Salford 20. From the possession Roby sweeps right across the Salford line and drops off Sia Soliola running on the angle. Soliola powers through the gap and is unstoppable as he goes through Luke Patten to score Saints' first try. Jamie Foster adds the extras.

Interchange: Paul Clough on for LMS.

Saints with a brilliant roll from the kick off go forward and make great territory. Salford give a penalty away on their own 30.

A quick play of the ball from Leon Pryce and good play from Shenton to feed Tommy Makinson. Makinson outnumbered 3 to 1 manages to use pace and power to squeeze over in the corner. Great try. Jamie Foster with a good conversion from the touchline.

James Graham back from the sin bin.

Jonny Lomax with a brilliant step and go through the line and charge for the post. Somehow that results in Salford dropping out under their own posts. The ball must have been ripped and grounded by a Salford player.

Jonny Lomax kicks a 40m drop goal on the last tackle of the half. Half time.

Terrible first half by saints.

We can't even break down Salford after camping on Salford line for large parts of the game.

A strange try for Saints with about 7 kicks and 11 offloads sees Francis Meli go over. (Bit of an exaggeration). 3 out of 3 from Foster.
