TASI, immense again tonight, don't know why Harris is putting out best prop on the bench, however he took his try well. His try was a result of a great break from HOOD, who again proved himself, we look far much better when he is behind the PTB. All I've done so far is ring the kids praises, but it's nice to see us have a proper hooker instead of putting square pegs in round holes. Hood first touch resulted in a break, was abit silly with his pass to Johnson before half time, but his game management will improve with experience. For me Hood has to be in the 17 week in week out, which means our little French superstar will have to be sat in the stands. Did not miss him one bit tonight, our best defensive performance of the season. LOCKE also had his best game of the season, the 1 on 1 in first ten minutes, I was so peronsally please for him after all the stick he reveives. DOBSON, also had his best game in a Salford shirt, towering bombs and place kicking into touch, somethings we've missed for years. Last mention goes to PATTERSON, from my view in west stand he looked out on his feet after 20 minutes but never stopped and deserved his try.

All of the above said will be clouded over because of another poor crowd and B, Widnes were bound to lose after the short turn around.

Agreed. Considering the offers and big discounts on tickets the crowd was very disappointing.

A positive post but why do you feel the need to put but a dampener on it by having an pointless pop at a young player that's come through our academy system?Especially when you know any criticism of Fages on here will provoke a reaction. Needless provocation when all supporters should be enjoying and sharing a much improved performance.

Neil Barker I didn't think it was too bad for a Thursday night on Sky.

Good performance first half was a bit scratchy but second half they looked tired and we took advantage. 1-17 all put in shifts buy my mom was Johnson makes a difference when he gets ball in hand. Sau has a job to get back in the team as i feel MCB & Johnson could frighten the hell out of defences. Not getting to carried away as we now need to back this up with wins Huddersfield & Wigan then people will take notice.

Didn't realise I waa critising Fages? Just that for me, we are a better side without him in it? Unless we start with Hood and bring him on, I have a feeling Harris likes Lee though, so will take something special to take the 9 spot off him. Unless like in second half last night when Hood came back on and Lee went to loose with Hansen going back to second row. Only reason I comment mainly on Lee, Fages and Hood is that many moons ago I indeed played that position, asume like other amature players always key a keen eye on someone who plays there position. Might just be me....

Forgot to add, there was lots of back slapping after tries, forcing errors, was good to see. Wonder if this was instructed or the guys have grievance over something and showing solidarity?

I thought the pack drove ball forward really well last night, Tasi and taylor were both immense, and Paterson was a handful every time he got the ball. Such a shame we didn't sign him two years ago, instead of Hock, as he poses a similar threat without the brain farts. In the second half, the team started to put a few moves on and Dobson's kicking game strangled the life out of them. Which, along with Hood's dummy half play, was pleasing to see.

Granted Widnes weren't at their best, but they've won games without brown and looking at last nights game he's the only player that would have improved their execution. Whereas all we had to do was methodically complete our sets, and with Paterson and Grifiin on the right we'll regularly get the ball back after an attacking kick.

If the club are to continue building over the next few seasons, taylor and hood need to be signed up on longer term deals.

Fair result last night we comfortably beat what was put infront of us, Widnes didn't really challenge us defensively which is where the major concern has been.
Hood looked good when he came on and give us a real go forward from dummy half which we haven't had in a while, for me he cannot be left out of the 17 if fit.
Not sure what everyone's opinion on Locke was last night but he did put in 80 mins and is getting fitter, he did show glimpses but why won't he take a ball up when first receiver.
He always releases to the winger on two occasions he passed to Chase and Johnson and they both got murdered, surprised Chase let it go.
Highest paid player on the pitch and won't run it in.

Still think we're playing with too many wingers in the three quarters against a decent team last night we would've been exposed on the flanks.

But positive result up to 4th and now unbeaten 8/10 at home.....fortress AJBell.

Thought your players looked to have a completely different attitude to when you played us last week.
Widnes are not a bad side, you just played well.

I noticed that the backs were used a lot more than usual in the first 4 tackles or so. I don't know if this was to conserve the forwards energy because second half the forwards came out storming. Impressive performance all round.

You can only beat what's in front of you, tonight that wasn't very much but you did the job well. I doubt if your pack will have an easier night all season, which created space for the dummy halves to keep you going forward and your half backs to dictate play at ease. Defensively you were very quick and tight, Widnes rarely had the skill to counteract that due in some part to a strange selection from Betts.
You could see the crowd growing with the team as the game went on - see you in a few weeks at LSV, well I wont damn holiday.
