Thursday night was the best iv'e seen us play since the Wigan home game last year at Easter. We were brilliant from 1-17. Im nervous for the Widnes game. Both teams got great results at the weekend with big score margin. I hope after Thursday result we attract a decent crowd for this game. I don't know what to expect in this game, Widnes battered Leeds who lost 3 big players during the game but they seem to get results at home especially on their pitch (fair play to them)

We got off to a good start at home so lets make it a hard place for visitors to come.

We were 22-0 up before they got an injury.

And a banana skin implies you are clear favourites! We'll see about that!

You'd hope for a big marketing push by both teams, that the club get into local schools this week getting as many youngsters down to a game with a family friendly KO time and that some sort of angle is made of 2 less fancied teams who are both playing good attacking rugby with the real prospect of the victor either staying at or going to the top of the league.

You'd hope for a 6000+ crowd, no excuses really.

We'll be clear favourites as it's at our ground would be the same if it was at yours.

Tough one that at half term

Wow I've only just seen that Widnes result and it's a phenomenal one regardless of any injuries Leeds suffered. Maybe I'm being disrespectful/ignorant to Widnes but over the past few years I've never looked at their squad and thought "I'd love to see him in a Salford shirt" (the likes of Brown and Hanbury excepted of course!). That Leeds squad on Sunday was riddled with talent and any sort of a win is an achievement but to put 50 on them is some going and forget any potential issues with Leeds attitude (like Saints against us) or the pitch.... that's a hell of a result and Widnes deserve a lot of praise.

I'm hoping home advantage should swing it for us on Sunday but I'd imagine it'll be a better with both teams confident of a win after last weekend. We need to smash Brown (legally of course!) early and keep him quiet as he's a pain in the ar$e and always causes havoc against us!

Btw, anyone know what's going on with the Widnes forum on RL Fans? Doesn't seem to be in use these days.... being Scouse are they on some sort of LFC-esque protest?

widnes use

Think Cas & Widnes have there own forums as do Saints!

Cas use this.

It will be interesting to see who plays this week with Sau due back, i'd put him back in and play Jones in second row with Lannon missing out!

Is the Widnes result that phenomenal? Lets not forget they beat a much stronger Leeds on the iPitch last season too. I'm not wanting to take anything away from them, but this isn't a freak result.

I wouldn't drop Lannon either, the kid had a great game vs Saints and doesn't deserve to lose his place. Infact 1-17 the only player who does is probably Joseph. Nice problem to have, but someone is going to be disappointed on Sunday.

Whilst Lannon is undoubtedly a talent, shouldn't the club be nurturing his talent and not over exposing him as he's just starting out. Though he does look a great player in the making.
