bit ambitious the playoffs i think, too much of the seasons gone i think, worst thing about today is my father inlaw is a wigan fan, and i dont think the ribbings gunna stop any time soon!!!

Good effort by your lads, your a better side than anyone gives you credit for.

People would have expected us to batter you, given league positions, but that was never going to happen. Hudders won't be the last team to lose at your place this season.

You surprised me, I was impresed - you stuck at it for the full 80 and were well organised - keep it up next week in the Cup.

Top effort this afternoon, I came along and you lot have improved so much recently. You would do us at the moment, no doubt. Nice to see support for Shaun McRae too

Solid, Hard Defence. Key to success. Now build on your attack.

Apart from holdsworth, I thought you lacked ideas. A few superleague hardened players over the next season and I think you'll be in with a shout of the playoffs for sure. Good to see the Reds improving again.

well played today against a well organised side they can play any super league team and put fifty on them good effort lads not many teams will want to come to the willows if we keep this up

Bilkos' preview was spot and fully examplified by todays game. Your defence is very good. Shaun McRae has got that aspect of your game spot on. It's been very good all season if you break down each game. I think we showed you maximum respect when we went for the two late on in the match.

However your attack is letting you down. You lack ideas which is a shame because you had a good kicking game I thought today. You built pressure, yet I never felt worried about losing because you never looked like scoring. I was surprised you didn't resort to taking the two a few more times in the opening half hour.

Things are certainly looking a bit more positive for Salford this season.

IF we would of bought Goulding off you at the end of the season and had him on instead of Tyrer we would of probably stopped your two tries on the wing, Tyrer is one of the poorest players Ive seen at defending but hes pretty good going forward, thought we played well and gave you a battle, not sure whats happen lately to be honest but Mcrea has suddenly got our troops firing! The ref was poor for both teams though, but your first try was seriously forward, ref missed alot of interferences for both teams and he was gifting penalties for nothing and when there was a penalty for each team he never gave it, hes the worse of the lot!

Today was the best any team has defended against us all season. What we've been very good at is sucking teams into the middle and moving the ball very quickly and accurately out wide.

Salford today held their width defensively very well, and scrambled when Sam did you up the middle. A really gritty performance from your players today. Phil Leului showed how to beat the three man tackle, great coaching from McRea.

What was the crowd? Looked nice and healthy

It's up to the players to play like that every week now. I thought you looked sharp defensively, but maybe lacked a little bit of direction in attack. Your sliding defence was pretty much spot on.
