The good guys by 8

Could be a close game Saints are picking up injuries now and Salford have picked up a bit of super league form.

Secret agent Pauli Pauli out to (legally) damage a few Saints players before the next round of the cup.

You have to expect a regulation Saints win.

Salford have been mis-firing lately and Saints are still the team to beat

Have Sky dragged this commentator out of a pub?

For the first 20 minutes of the game it did sound like commentator Stuart Pyke has had his whistling teeth fixed. Due to dental issues, he manages to spoil coverage of darts more than Rod Studd but is at least doing a reasonable job of making Bill Arthur sound adequate.

Dunno which I enjoyed most, Salford going in ahead or Holbrook's smacked 4r5e face...lol

Alan Partridge innit?

People moaned about EH but he had enthusiasm and energy. This bloke’s sending me to sleep!

How did St's just get away with that high shot?

Lui straight through St's powder puff defence, good try.

Why the hell would Salford go for a short kick off, 10 points up with13 minutes to go. Just put the long kick in and make saints come the length of the field to score.

Well that was almost predictable, Saints ghost through Salfords defense to score. Big mistake that kick off, could lose them the game.

Eh? What’s the point of a video ref if he’s going to see a knock on but not give it?
