Very pleased with the result yesterday and most of the performance. Especially pleased about the attitude and the way they played and acted like a team and like a group who look after each other and celebrate the good things each other do. That is a massive change from a couple of months ago. My guess is that Harris putting through the pain of intense training has made them bond far better than Noble ever would have done. The increased physicality is evidence of that. V little dirty stuff but everyone trying their hardest on every tackle. Some of the hits from Sau and Hansen were incredible and hurt me just watching them

. The way they celebrated Josh Griffin tackling Lineham (I think) into touch was like they'd scored a try and was great to see.

The first half was just about as good a performance as I've seen from salford in a long time. They made too many mistakes (Johnson knocking on from kick off) but they backed each other and didn't let Hull score from the position we gave them.

The intensity definitively dropped in the second half and especially the 20 minutes when Sau, Hock and Morley were all off the pitch. You could see the difference when they cam back on, especially Morley who I thought was immense yesterday. And we also played at least 10 mins without a prop on the pitch. Can't remember if TP was on but we essentially had 5 back rowers and Lee for a good spell so it's no wonder we struggled to clear our line for that spell and that they made more yards with the ball. That Hull side shouldn't have scored 22 points against us. It was noticeable that the only time Yeamn got free was when Sau was off. So I think Harros had his summary right that we still have things to work on. But we're def heading in the right direction. Next week will be a big test and if we can get a win we will be in good heart going into the Wigan and Leeds games. And we'll have Tasi back for them.

Think my favourite bit was when Yeaman squared up to Sau trying to intimidate him. Next time we got the ball we deliberately had Sau run at Yeaman and the Hull man was knocked flying, didn't see him again til Sau went off. That's proper rugby league

The Gary Player Quote "Well, the harder I practice, the luckier I get." spring to mind about last nights performance .

In many ways it was reminiscent of earlier home games this season :-
knock on from the kick off
cheap penalties given away
loose carries & dropped ball when we were under no pressure
poor kicking game on the whole ( spooned midfield kicks into the waiting arms of Jamie Shaul , the best kick meter returner in SL).
so if the Dull fans are ranting on about about how poor we were there is an element of truth .
the Difference in the result despite our poor basics is the injection of pace & a confidence in the side from the recent games. IMO we played better at Castleford & lost .
We barely got out of out own half for the 1st 15 minutes then Chase pulled a try out of nothing, earlier in the season that would have gone to ground .
When we did get possession in the Hull 20 , we made sure we came away with points even a drop goal - Penalty kick , earlier in the season despite our efforts we usually spoiled our opportunities & went away empty handed .
The Ball bounced in our favour - the Danny Houghton break that Evalds picked up, the the loose ball that Caton Brown capitalised on for the final try .
As I stated with the Gary Player quote - the team is working harder for each other , things are gelling and that harder tackling & and injection of pace is making us a luckier side , may it continue .

I'm going to mention another name, and it's going to upset some upsettable people. I think Steve Rapira played well too, as he has been doing in recent weeks. He runs hard, tackles hard and seems to really hurt his opponents. He might be becoming an integral part of Iestyn's bully boy pack.

Radfords take questioned the borderline legality of what they do last week.

“But you have to tip your hat, they are very good at what they do and sit a lot of ball players on their backsides just as they are about to play the ball. That is clever rugby and if they can get away with it they are going to continue to do it.”

The try just before half time he recognised where Jamie Shaul was in the line, and threaded the ball through to score in the corner. You pay for what you get and he is top drawer.”

This is going to be the new "thing" - Salford are overly physical. Radford has clearly picked up on Anderson's unjustified comments from the previous week and has ran with it.

I honestly saw nothing this week or last that suggested our new found physicality is "borderline illegal".

There was no illegality in our physicality. I recall one head high shot for each team. We were just very, very solid and strong in defence for 60 minutes. I’m disappointed we let that level of intensity drop, but it’s something to work on.

Yeah that's all I could remember and also the bizarre moment when Heremaia decided to kick off with Johnson. Couldn't see what happened at the time but it's on the highlights video. Just goes for him after the penalty was given to us, then Johnson gets his headgear ripped off him and Heremaia tries to throw it into the crowd.

Overall we generally tackled hard but fair.

Throwing headgear into the crowd is or was a sending off offence, not sin bin

He got neither as far as I'm aware? The sinbinning was a separate incident for holding down after a break wasn't it?

Great to see us back up the Huddersfield game with another decent performance. A shame we let them back into it but it was all about getting the 2 points.

Good to see Chase controlling the game as well with a disciplined performance. Long may it continue.
