Forget your lines across pitch, Roby's knob ender and Wilkins knock on! They were all second half! My problem is that soliola did not score! Whats benefit of the doubt all about? You either put the bloody thing on the ground and we can all see it or you don't! Add to that Gibson had 2 blokes hanging off his neck when he was nailed on to score and that's 16 zip at half time and a completely different game!
Might not have won but throw in the 3 second half incidents and that's 5 massive game breakers all gone to Saints!
When that ever happens to Salford I will celebrate more than a win cos that will mean we are a big club!

All this debate about penalties and Saints would win majority happened in a few minutes when the scores were close and Saints were beginningll head of steam. The Wilkin strip which never was they scored from the penalty that was awarded. Instead the correct decission would have been a scrum to Salford on or around the 40 metre mark. May not make a diference to the game but it would have had an overall effect on the game at that period.

You can argue 'till the cows come home, and everyone will have their own interpretation. To be fair, if the decisions had been reversed this thread would be on the Saints forum. For what it's worth, I don't think the decisions had a bearing on the result, probably the overall score, but not the result. Saints were simply better by a mile than us in the second half. Salford did not allow Saints to be dominant in the first half but couldn't make the points gap any bigger. Saints did exactly the same to us in the second half but could capitalise on it.

I think that the biggest difference on the night between the two sides was depth of squad and Saints vast experience. There is certainly not a gulf between the sides as has been the case over the last few years or so, and that's something for Salford fans to take heart from.

we have been on sky against Saints 3 times and 3 times he has given them benifit of a doubt against us.Cant fault with how we played but like always we take a lead then when the team get 10 points ahead we seem to put our heads down and the opposition score twice as more. Once we get a full team and have no injurys i think we will do ok in the super league. I have faith in Vivas and Long

Spot on.

But some of the attacking play I've seen from Salford both against Cas and against us has been outstanding and should give Salford fans a real boost. Vievers just needs to do his defensive job really in order that the team don't go leaking away all the good work they do in attack. I think recruiting Sean Long as your attacking coach could be a stroke of genius.
