He seemed to grab the back of his leg after scoring that last try, then had an ice back on at the end.

I can see another tweet from the Doc after the game saying hes had enough.

I get the feeling that Sky Sports don't like us, this will be the third year in a row that Sky have shown this fixture early in the season and we've been battered both times.

We need a major improvement in our defence if we are to even be competitive in this match. I hope I'm wrong but with the likes of Walmsely, Tasi and Amor running at our weak in depth pack this could prove to be another disastrous night.

I just hope to god we play Niall at full back, there's no way we can afford to be playing Gareth O'Brian again after all the handling errors he made against Hull FC, Luke Walsh will tear us to pieces.

You last 2 posters are just trying to prevent me watching this game,aren't you?

With Ian Watson and Cunningham being former Welsh teammates:Flanagan and Jones knowing a bit about the Saints coaching and players:
Roby missing,and Tasi and Theo against the club they left,I was expecting a bit of a cracker.

I expect fluctuation and tactical changes as the game progresses.

I was expecting a noisy,supportive Salford crowd behind their players from start to finish.

I look at the other thread and see Middleman has the win record for Salford over previous years.

What an opportunity!

If you win,don't you go ahead of last years treble winners after your first home game?

Won't it make the chuckle brothers speechless if you take the lead and keep it?

How much incentive do you lot need?

Nah.I don't think I'll watch it.

Optimism is a faint and poorly spark, deep in the guts of Salford fans. After decades of making-up the numbers and watching our schizophrenic Club be world-beaters one week and an under elevens side the next, it takes the tiniest pressure fart from the anus of a RL gnat to extinguish hope, life, and the universe.

At least until the next pre-season.

I think I must have missed the weeks when we were world beaters

Edited for accuracy

We need a much improved performance from the hull game because we looked just as bad as last season. Awful decision not to play Evalds Fb he must start tomorrow at Fb

"Once we were warriors"
and the film plot summarises how many Salford fans feel.

World beaters for us. Which means playing moderately well against good opposition that's having an off night.

Luca is back, that's good not got enough female contributors on here
