Gaz O'Brien making a name for himself. Silly Wire.

Yes Salford drog goal to win it. Cas then got a penalty in lastg minute put them in Salfords half but got tackled a metre out with seconds left.

It was a proper exciting game.
Not much free flowing rugby but from either team but the rain and strong defences by both teams stopped that. Both teams had done their homework and stopped a lot of the plays their opponents were trying. Could have gone either way and thought when Cas got the early score in the 2nd half that we'd struggle. Really pleased we fought our way back into it
Gaz O'Brien needs to stop this habit of missing kickable conversions so he can claim the glory with a late drop goal!
Both teams went at it hard, I think we made fewer mistakes which won us the game. Cas travelled in big numbers and made a big contribution to a good atmosphere

The emergency services have reported a loud popping noise in the Barton area of Greater Manchester.

You lot failed to beat an inferior side in your own backyard!

Very gracious words from the Cas supporters...was an absorbing game right up to the death - quite rightly what you'd hope to expect from all superleague games.

Fantastic away support.....

...led to a great atmosphere in challenging conditions. Keep up the good work Cas you're showing the way this game should be played....let's hope more catch-up soon!

I have nothing but praise for Salford, even at 12 4 to us after 55 minutes it was a totally unfair scoreline. It felt like we spent the vast majority of the 80 under real pressure. Salford did a wonderful job of nullifying Luke Gale and it took Cas a while to get Roberts into the game. Salford kicked well and their pack really rose to the occasion. Despite only falling behind after 77 minutes we didn't deserve anything today. Did Todd Carney get on ?

Salford knew exactly how to nullify our attack - doesn't help that Minkin, Webster and Cook all went off at the beginning of the 2nd half (leaving us with one sub for 30 mins!!) - but of course that doesn't mean we couldn't have won that match. Back on the horse next week v Catalan - to only fall behind at 77mins with 3 props on their s doesn't scream 'panic stations' to me.

You drew against Hudds lad - calm darrrrrn

No Watson kept him on the bench so we only rotated three, I thought it was going to bite us on the bum as I thought we needed a little extra to get us over the line but as said elsewhere Gaz O'Brien aka god pulled one out of the bag again.

Great rugby match especially considering the conditions between two teams who want to play the game, along with a great atmosphere and fantastic Cas turnout.

Great decision not to bring him on as your half backs are quality together, so no need to tamper with that chemistry. Wonder where TC will eventually slot in.

Oh don't worry, we can definitely accommodate a player of Todd Carney's ability within our squad.... assuming he is here to show his undoubted quality and not just to steal a wage. i thought we fully deserved the win today deapite it being a 1 point margin. I had a little chuckle at some of the pre-season predictions about Salford on here as we are nowhere near a bottom 2 team. I dare say most of those predictions were made on Salford's reputation/past exploits rather than the ability of our squad.

Today wasn't a classic and I'm still hugely impressed by what Daryl Powell is building at Cas. They are a top 3 team in every way and will hand out plenty of pastings this season. Today we managed to nullify their main threats and apart from a couple of poorly conceded tries I can't remember having to defend many sets in our own 10m area.

Great following as well btw. Can't remember such a big turnout by an opposing team in SL at the AJ Bell. More than happy with the 2 points today but look forward to watching Cas for the rest of the season and really hope they challenge for silverware as they're great to watch and a breath of fresh air.
