Despite all the bemoaning and bleating Salford look to have a pretty decent 17 out!

Were things really that bad or was it a bit of a publicity stunt?

Mind games. Looks like Hull KR should have asked for a prosponment . 10 minutes in and I'm probably going to switch it off.

Not looking good is it? Might even put the rah rah on at this rate!

Even the Wigan fans seemed bored its usually a cracking atmosphere at the DW!!

It must be something in the water in Hull. A totally gutless start from both Hull teams.

Wigan walk at half time. Surely they'll have better things to watch.. Last years grand final perhaps.

If hull can't beat salford then Redford must be sacked.

That Salford team looks fine to me besides the lack of a half back alongside Fages. Certainly good enough to beat Hull.

so a publicity stunt then?
how many of those salford 17 were part of the 19 that were supposedly unavailable??

As of Wednesday we only had 12 players in training including the 3 suspended players. Half of our squad out there today were just making up numbers and wouldn't have played had other players been avaliable.

Good effort from a Salford side with a second rower at half back and another second rower at hooker.

Players missing:
Jones Bishop
Josh Griffin
Sau
Chase
Dobson.
Morley
Lee
Paterson
Hauraki
A. Walne.
Godwin.

Lol... Saints went through the playoffs and won the grand final with a second rower at half back..., and Liam Hood played most of the game at hooker - why didn't they start him?

Presumably because he wasn't fit enough for the full 80 mins, which is kind of the point.

Probably still should've won being 8 points up with 20 mins left but closing games out is not one of our strengths.

Hull had Westerman, Paea, shaul, Ellis, green and Bowden out. The first 4 maybe our best players, so while they had more out, it wasn't as bad as the club were making out. Still a good effort from salford though.

True however I think the reason Salford have made such a noise about this is the fact we have been missing all our starting players from position 3 through to the number 9 position.

The request for a postponement was unnesscary but we have just been pretty unfortunate in the areas where our injuries have fallen. Throw in a couple of bans to the first choice 2nd row forwards (our own fault) and its virtually a new side.
