Ken Gill could make the ball talk.: |

| The first thing that came into my head this morning was 44 - 10 !I watched the game again and was surprised how much we were in control. As a Salford fan for more years than I care to remember, I actually spent too much of the game thinking "We can still lose this!" Only this morning did I realise we were never really threatened and how much we were on top.
The last time I felt this good about a game was probably twenty years ago when we beat Wigan in the Cup at the Willows. At Hull last week I thought we had tries in us, but thought our pack was too lightweight and that we would struggle a bit behind a beaten pack, but last night our forwards gave a very good account of themselves. Much will be said about a poor Saints performance but perhaps Saint Helens only managed to play as well as we let them.
Games often tend to produce a massive over-reaction, particularly on here. Last week we were the worst team in the League and this week we are going to be the best according to some. I know that form can vary, but as long as effort and commitment stays high, perhaps we now have a genuine team ethos for the first time in many a long year that can help us advance. Last night the product on the pitch was better than the sum total of the players. We didn't see contrived celebrations where everybody rushed over to celebrate, but saw players genuinely playing for each other. Better discipline and fewer mistakes helped too. All seventeen deserve high praise.
If we can build on this.............but hang on, this is Salford! I just hope I don't have to wait another twenty years.

| 4,386 there for that great win. It would be great - and its possible - if the sporting public of the area could be enthused to get those turn outs up to an average of 6/7,000 and create a buzz about the club. Its so important to follow up.

| Quote: Derek Smalls "Last night was a great TEAM performance, and we should enjoy the plaudits coming our way for the next couple of days.
But we shouldn't get carried away (we're Salford fans so I don't think we will, its not "in our DNA"icon_wink.gif. It will be no good thrashing Saints if we then slip up against Widnes next week. We've got tricky fixtures coming up in the next month - if we beat Widnes we can go into the Wigan and Warrington games with some confidence.
I expect Sheens and Watson did not panic too much after the Hull performance and assume they won't be doing cartwheels after last night. Its about building momentum and going about our business in a professional, level-headed manner.
BTW it was good to hear our coach talking with a local accent. 'One of our own' instilling a team ethic into a group of hungry young players. Who'd have thunk it?'"
This.

Ever since we decided to 'Rip-in.'
