was a decent performance all in all and a valuable two points , like someone said earlier there was a few weird selections.... sykes on the wing was a gamble that didnt pay off he wedged in when he didnt need to i thought , whats up with halley? crookes seemed to go alright and has put alot of size on since i saw him last play for us , Tom Burgess is freak of nature i dont know what his mum feeds him he is a giant and hopefully he will kick on as a real crowd pleaser knocking people about! i think we need to get whitehead out of the centre's he has a decent engine on him and works hard in the middle and i think thats a bit wasted on him in the centre appreciate injuries are making him play there at the moment but when all's well and good again i think he is a backrower all day long , donaldson just seems to me like he has it in him to be a different class but for some reason just doesnt seem to be able to turn it on ...... if he doesnt get more game time though i can just see him signing for someone like leeds and turning into the best back rower in the superleague !!! haha always seems to happen like that! but yeah good performance just consistancy is whats needed now i guess

On another positive....

I watched the u20's and thought Halley and Addy were superb. Both these lads were on a different level to the competition, Addy looked like he's put a bit of 'beef' on.

Also worth noting that Halley was at 6 and Southerwood was at 7. Halley's game looked, to me, to suite no6, made a couple of 1/2 breaks due to his pace.

A wins a win but let's be honest Salford were poor. Overall I don't think we played superb as some people on here seem to be saying, although I think there were some good individual performances.

We dropped alot of ball and against better teams we won't get the chances we did today. Happy we got the win but still lots to do but it's a step continuing in the right direction.

I've always wondered if Halley might make a half as he has not only pace but real pace off a standing start. Was told on this site that his hands were not good enough.
Anybody got thoughts on this?

When Halley joined the club as youngster he was signed as a stand off. The coaching team made the decision very early to switch him out to the wing due to poor passing ability.

Salford only came back into it when Bulls defensive intensity dropped off. Saying that if Silverwood had applied the advantage rule Bulls would have notched at least 6 more points when on top, and if he or his TJ's had decent eyesight a couple of Salford scores wouldn't have counted.

After a massive physical and menatl effort against Wigan this was a potential banana skin very well avoided.
