I'll be honest, I don't like the noises that the doc has been making since he took over. It's all this crap he's spouting about it's for the good of rugby league. I'd rather he just be honest and admit he just wants to buy success for Salford and it's not rugby league he has at heart.

Not the result we wanted and even more injuries but I thought it was a spirited performance. Every 50:50 seemed to go against us tonight but we can take some positives from tonight.

Most of our players performed pretty well with the exception of a couple I'd rather not name. I've got to signal out Harrison Hansen for some special praise I thought he was superb for us again.

Give it a few weeks and 5 or 6 key players back and we will absolutely tonk someone, trust me. It will probably be a revenge beating of Widnes at the magic weekend. It's a funny old game

The ball just didn't seem to bounce our way at times and some 50/50 decisions seemed to go against us. Walton not getting a penalty off a strip earlier in the game, the 'obstruction' before half time, the break from Theo that was going to be kicked dead but we stupidly managed to touch the ball as it was going out, the drop from Theo after the ball hit Howarth. We had chances, just made some bad decisions and got unlucky a couple of times.

I'll be honest, your really boring. Go back to your saints forum if you want to slag us off.

Thought howarth had another stinker tonight costing us two tries. Don't like that artificial pitch I know both sides have to play on it etc but as the home side playing every week you must be able to judge it better. All credit the the Vikings though they look a useful side

I agree Widnes played to their full potential and are enjoying a purple patch.

He will be campaigning for a two team super league next. He will want London as the other team.

Widnes are a mid table, mediocre side with no money and even less fans.

Yet they took your expensively assembled outfit apart with alarming ease.

Joking aside, Salford will be fine. Players missing, need 'time to gel' etc
Important thing for now is that there is relegation from SL this season ( 2 CLUBS) and on that score Red Devils have nowt to worry about.

That last try for Widnes was barmy, Silverwood gave the defence no chance.

No Pete his next campaign will be to scupper St Helens future player recruitment plans. Didn't McManus rally the opposition against the marquee player allowance?

You could say he Is unlucky at times and that when he makes mistakes it usually results in the opposition scoring in the next set of six. We got pulled up 3 times today for forward passes and it was howarths one that Widnes responded with a try in their next six.

On top of his mistakes however, what does he offer in attack? The game today was all about pace and its a shame we didn't haven't have the impact of Gareth Owen to compliment Tommy Lee

Best team won. We had our moments but the 5th tackle options were woeful. Could've won it on another day but still plenty to work on.

First person to bite to one of Bruce Forsyths posts wins an all expenses paid romantic meal with him and then back to his for a cuddle.

Hes here all week folks, or maybe all year...........
