I think you are doing these young lads an injustice. They may be a little inexperienced but I assure you they will show more passion today than a lot of players have shown all season.
Good luck lads and enjoy.

Any team news yet? Can't find any on Twitter.

Does the club still use Twitter?

credit to the 80 or so that came over, its not easy watching a team going through the motions knowing they have no future at the club, most were friendly and wished us well, which is how you would expect RL fans to be.
although you were hammered, you gave it a good go and threw the ball about a bit, fair enough you never really troubled us, but didn't look like your heads dropped.
look to have some good kids coming through as well.

Hopefully most of today's team do have a future at the club. Definitely hope that Jordan Walne, Davidson and Hope are retained.

Thought the young lads stood up well today. Two poor kick offs put us on the back foot and led to tries. Owen made one poor decision when he could have put Gibson in for a try. Evalds knocked on just as he was in to go over. But nobody gave up and defence was pretty good after the first ten minutes.

Eleven players who came through Salford's academy and made their debut for Salford ( including Ratchford, Turner and Platt) played Super League this weekend. Can't remember that happening before.

Thought the new boys fronted up well especially Walne and Davies. Impressed me with his defence. Gaskell was shocking . A few mistakes made the scoreline ,

True.
I feared for the team after we gifted field position and two early tries. without a recognised front row against 1 of the biggest packs in the league.
Jordan Walne, Will Hope, Alex Davidson and Jordan Davies all played with credit and backed up was a full defensive slog

Totally agree

I thought it was an excellent effort from a gutsy and determined team today. It really was a case of watching men against boys. It didn't help that we kicked out twice on the full. We weren't helped by fifty / fifty decisions that went against us and a penalty count that did us no favours. We were playing the team at the top of the table too.

But we stuck at it. I thought our defensive effort in the last six or seven minutes when they broke our line but we kept them out was superb. I've seen plenty of other games when we'd have given up.

I thought some of our senior pros need to have a good look at themselves as we seemed to lack leadership on the pitch. The youngsters gave 100% and none of them could have given more. I would have liked to have seen Alex Davidson given more game time. I also thought that the way young Evalds fielded the ball and cleared his own line was excellent.

Now that squad numbers have become the norm, I wonder whether there's ever been a seventeen man Super League squad with a higher total based on their squad numbers? I think only five of the starting team had numbers below 13.

I ope we get a few back for Leeds, but today can only bring long term benefit to those young lads who played.

So we get a 2pt deduction for fielding an extra player for 30 seconds yet Hudds are allowed to play 14 from the start?! Talk about double standards between those at the bottom and those at the top! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/23502823 [size=50Ok, I'm sure it's just a typo but couldn't resist having a pop![/size
