you had around 150 last year about 80 the year before that, so last night was a great effort from you guys!

give over, not one giants fan has said Salford didn't deserve to win that game, the fact that most of us were frustrated with the refereeing doesn't mean that we can't praise the opposition on being the better team.
you are right though about child, he did keep things moving, because he refused to penalise BOTH teams for laying on, stood offside, not been square etc

as for your comment about us being whingers, then don't every rugby league team do this?

I actually think Hudds fans are breaths of fresh air compared to most opposition fans. I mean, just look at the thread on here from the cult of Leigh...

Most of the hudds fans on their board are pretty level-headed. They have the same number of individuals as any other Club with regards to those infected with the disease of RL. Namely refereeing obsession and myopia. Something we suffer greatly from too.

Meast - your gracious comments are appreciated and welcome over here. But even you must know deep down that when it comes to whinging, moaning and generally acting like a spoilt petulant 4 year old, Brough is in a different class. Even Wilkin and Wellens struggle to keep up...

we have admitted that it is a problem for Broughy, and when he gets that head on it's bad to watch,
but to say we whinge more than most is rubbish.
players and fans get frustrated when things don't go their way, it's just human nature.

No coincidence in that the 4 games Brough has decided to have a whinge or 2 we've lost, the other's where he's decided to be a class half-back and captain we've won convincingly.

Good turnout by your guys and good to see plenty of you out in town after too !

Meast - How would that compare with the likes of Widnes/Cas/Wakey/HKR ?

Broughy was probably frustrated at chase's cowardly act in injuring Brett Ferres ruling him out for up to 4 months and childs ineptness to even penalise the incident. If you were playing and a thug had done that to one of your team-mates would you just stand around and do nothing? But I do agree that Broughy needs to control his anger better but I do understand his frustrations.

Child didn't see it. Lino did. Wasn't even a penalty given at the time, just a different player told to play the ball. Fans nr me were asking why when Locke was knocked unconscious a knock on was given but when Ferres was injured there was no knock on but as I say we hadn't seen it. Was straight in front of us and nobody knew what the on report was for around me. Having seen the replay I'm not convinced Chase intended it, you could see by his reaction. Impossible to know the intent and the damage was done so is a correct charge for dangerous contact. But to assume intent is speculation at best. Best way to take out frustration is to win which you had every chance of doing if Brough had played instead of sulking

it's the biggest following salford have ever brought... most away attendances are down, but some, like cas( and i guess Salford) depends on how the team is doing, last year for example, cas brought 1700, the year before that, 170!

This year Hull fc brought 2355, Salford, 973, Cas 770 Widnes 501

i'm convinced he intended to hurt Ferres, he was already held up with ball wrapped up, Chase went around the back of him and attacked his standing leg, his other leg was already off the ground, why would anyone want to attack someone's leg when they only had one on the ground?
it was an act of housery, of which Rangi Chase has previous for.

Thanks Meast for the figures
