Good to see some live adult RL again, both teams wanted the win and produced a competitive game.

Salford missing 7 overseas meant 18 first team squad players used, Leigh missing 4 in Paul, Blythe, Armstrong and Govin.

Great to see a Leigh team with so many local lads in it again, most having come through our non existent youth system.

What impressed me was the line speed and team spirit plus a great looking set of forwards for this level

Congrats to the ref who kept the game flowing.

There's a lot of Salford fans getting pretty touchy and aggro about yesterday seen as it was 'just a freindly'. Maybe you are a bit more worried about the result than you are letting on. We're no threat to you so let us enjoy the fact we beat a Super League team and, unless you have reason to, don't fret about it.

I see the constant batterings we gave you has had a lasting effect on you sir. I can understand your 'extreme' bitterness.

You go on like your team was picked off the streets and dragged out of the pub on the day of the game, it’s a fact that all of Leigh’s team bar a few young lads and one or two lifers have played Super league before.
You beat us last night on the fact that you targeted our young guys. Godwin Wild and Nero did what they could but they can't carry a whole team, out of the 7 that were missing 4 were forwards had they been on the field it would of been completely different instead of our young forwards being dominated it would of been yours.

Do you really hold any credence to Christmas pre-season friendlies? If so, why? That's a question to all protagonists on this thread. Do you think the result or even the quality of play was a benchmark for 2011? Season 2011 starts in two months.

No not really just trying to get these leythers heads out of their own s believing there going to walk the championship off this result? at the end of the day Halifax are champions so their currently favs, well thats how i see it?

I just think it's pointless arguing about a match which is so insignificant to the coming season.

The Salford starting 13 were all first team players!

Not all of them, Adam Clay was making his debut for the 1st team having been in the 18's and reserves last year. And young Gareth Owen only played last year because of injuries to Malcolm Alker, Stefan Ratchford and Daniel Holdsworth. If they hadn't been injured he wouldn't have even had a squad number, let alone played.

This is RL , players get injured on a fairly regular basis , you would expect 4/5 players injured at any given time , so if he is a squad player he is a 1 st team player

You will have a better team with your overseas players yes , but there was a lot of SL experience out there on monday , we are happy with our performance , if you are happy with yours , no problem

Jeez. I've always thought people on here chat a load of bo##ocks but this just takes the biscuit. It was a friendly ffs

Just couldn't resist it could you, i'm sure there's some help out there for you, somewhere in the wilderness.
