I have no ill will to either team.

I think Salford have the right owner at the wrong time, the move to the AJ Bell seems to have been an unmitigated disaster.
The Willows was a fine ground to visit and if Koucash had taken on Salford whilst they were there, he could have probably redeveloped that ground.

But no doubt selling the ground was necessary at the time.

For me Hull KR at the moment have more to offer SL both in the short and long term. I just can't see how Salford will ever be able to grow in their current predicament.

Conceding a try to a barge-over from a prop on the 5th tackle is a good indication of why Salford are in this game in the first place.

Blimey, Salford look terrible. Slow and tired after just 10 minutes. No heart at all in defence. At this time, it looks like an easy win for Rovers. Hope the Reds wake up a bit to make a game of it.

agreed.although tired as a ground, I loved the willows, great atmosphere and right in the heart of salford. with MK cash for redevelopment Salford would be in a far better place now imo.

Commentary is getting worse. Why the eff do we need to know about some pregnant bird sitting in the stands?

At least the Reds are trying now.

Now looking the better of the 2 teams.

Shaun Lunt really wants this. He could be the difference.

Maybe its the new half time game, guess the father!!!

What's interesting as a neutral is that you can see Salford in particular making the overlaps regularly, but they're incapable of exploiting them because of a lack of both passing and line-running skill in their 3/4s.

Dobson is running Salfords game well, and creating plenty. But he just doesn't have sufficient quality around him to exploit his work.

I feel Salford's injuries are going to seriously take their toll in the final 20 as players are forced to play too many minutes.

I agree. And it's not just numbers. They've lost their best back and their best forward. I think they're in a lot of trouble now.

20 vital minutes for Salford. Sad to say but I think they are down.
