We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Somehow our play gave KR the confidence they didn't have at the start of the game.
Not a lack of effort, bur errors and bad decisions.

We should have put points on the board in the first half when we were clearly the better side. Another lesson to learn.

Long more effective on the touch line, Highton with his headphones shouting up to the gantry is silly.
Also, why does Patten forget what position he plays when the opposition kick a high ball? He can't have done that in the NRL can he?

I personally hope that today hasn't done more harm than good as far as crowds for the rest of the season goes.
There was no life in the stands or on the pitch and combined with more bad luck as far as weather and pre match entertainment can't see anyone who took advantage of the brilliant ticket off in the MEN busting a gut to come back to see many more games.
Makes me wonder what the validitity of the Sunday afternoon kick off amounts too as today was the perfect oppertunity for a good turn out and it wasn't anywhere near good enough for me.

They controlled our playmakers ie patten, holdsworth & smith better than we controlled theirs ie Dobson. We cannot keep giving away penalty after penalty against anyone and expect to win. We are defending against too many sets one after another, no wonder we are tired. We can still make the 8, Wakefield away is very winnable but I feel we should play a few of the 20's & rest a few ie feka for the wakey game.

The best thing was the amount of families we walked past on our way to the game coming away from the stadium with goody bags and prizes won on the fair.
So we did get some families there. Just not for the rugby.

Rain was 100% certain. Salford should plan a family fun day wherever there is a drought, it would guarantee rain.
What is it about Salford and their luck??
I try to see the funny side "typical Salford" etc. but these things are so predictable it must really get everyone at the club down.

maybe if Salford relocated to Montpellier ?......

Unfortunately as the Met office can only predict to any degree of accuracy about 3 hours ahead how do you expect Salford to be able to predict 4 weeks in advance when they started planning for this match. Then again some people will blame the club for the weather.

I don't expect Salford to be able to predict the weather, you mis-understand my point.
We always have the worst luck, snow before 1st game at the stadium and now this. Not a criticism, just an observation!

sorry but was only saying it myself, 14 years in the planning and still the bad luck continues

Was Owen injured or dropped? Very harsh of dropped as Godwin looked lacking in sharpness.

The ref was dreadful, but our defence for the last two tries was even worse. We should have won that game comfortably but failed to build on any position that we got - let's hope we don't have to play in rain again.

according to the BBc only 5,000 there today, so playing in the afternoon doesn't work to get the families in if the attendance is anything to go by.
