we will win 32-20 - believe !!!

I'm looking forward to it. Should be a good day out and it's a huge (massive? ) game as well. The way things are at the minute I can see defeat on Sunday leading to things imploding. Just got to play like we did in the first half last week.

Got a horrible feeling that Widnes last week coasted and tried to avoid energy for this week as I'm pretty sure they will have targeted this as the first win and start of thier season.
Do genuinely see a Salford win and an impressive one at that, the signs during the Wigan and Saints games have been there (I disregaurd the Cas game as we all know it should never have taken place in such appauling conditions) that we are a much more coherent unit this year and that is we get the ball out wide we have the fire power to trouble even the best teams. Think that Patten will have his best game and that Feka returning will prove the undoing of Widnes in the forwards.

Rose tinted yes but a genuine gut feeling all the same.

It's the typical game that we're perfectly capable of winning. It's just a case of whether we prepare properly. Too many times in the past we go into these games where the other team puts in their maximum effort and we turn up thinking we don't have to put in as much effort because it's not a top 4 side and we inevitably end up losing a la Crusaders almost every time we played them.

Salford to race into an early 18 point lead, only to end up losing 22-18.

The ref,the playing surface,the linesmen,the ingoal bleeders,their mascot,the weather,terry o`connor,them sh.t trucks,and Tarrys moustache robbed us on the hooter.

sundays game is a must win game already!if we dont win i can see us going on a the slide!salford 32 widnes 18! x

With their fast I pitch. Sunday is the perfect opportunity to utilize our fast backs, get the ball out quickly and blast them to smithereens with our quick no compromising plays.

As it is we'll probably try and out muscle them up the middle and get beat

COME ON SALFORD. LET'S GET THAT FIRST WIN!

The way your lads tore into Saints in the 1st half has me a little concerned with the way we've been defending out wide.I just hope that the mauling we got off Hudd's has given us a kick up the backside and we give you a game. Hope to have Watts,Clarke & Briscoe back from injury,if not I think it will be Salford's day.

I'm not expecting us to win. We should be favourites (bookies are giving Widnes up to an 8 point start). But I think, considering we need people to at least have a look inside our new ground, Salford [ineed[/i to win on Sunday. So that's what makes it a big deal for me.

Considering Sunday afternoon rugby is somewhat of a rarity on our side of the Pennines, it's a good excuse for part-timers to get down and roar the lads on.

Big game, I'm not sure, important, damn right it is, well any way you see it here are the players that will make it happen.

Salford 19: Patten, Broughton, Gleeson, Gibson, Williams, Holdsworth, Smith, Jewitt, Sidlow, James, Anderson, McPherson, Wild, Nero, Adamson, Owen, Howarth, Paleaaesina, Gledhill.

Widnes 19: Ah Van, Allen, Clarke, Craven, Cross, Davies, Flynn, Haggerty, Hanbury, Isa, Kavanagh, Leuluai, Marsh, Mullally, Owens, Pickersgill, Watts, White, Winterstein.

From our experience on the I-Pitch, i'd said the one thing which was noticeable is how hard it is to effectively turn and change direction. Therefore, a back line with pace could be quite destructive on there coupled with a intelligent short kicking game

What about a backline with pace coupled with a disappointing short kicking game?
