I agree Wakefield is more important but can you not see the damage a poor performance could have? Remember the negative impact of the Leigh defeat 2 years ago? As for injuries they are unavoidable. The only way to eliminate the risk of injury is not to play. Forget all the injury nonsense they can happen anytime, we need a decent performance.

Job done it's important we keep building some momentum.

Awful weather put some real positives taken from tonight's game. And no injuries bonus!

Yes you have to consider it was the first hit out with many new players in dreadful conditions. Furthermore we also have five 1st team players to come in yet. It's up to the boys to turn it up a few notches now against Warrington and then rip into Wakey week 1.

Awful conditions, completely levelled the game up. Without those conditions I honestly think we'd have put 40 on Leigh, that's no disrespect to them because they're a solid team. Impressed with Greg Johnson, can see him being our star signing.

Couldn't of put it better myself.

Only 26-16? Should have put 70 on them with that paper squad.

If that was an official SL game it wouldn't of gone ahead.

I'm not sure what the weather is like in Australia but it was terrible at Leigh.

Nope, still can't see it I'm afraid. I doubt any prospective fans would be swayed by a poor performance because, firstly, how many would have known the game was being played, and, secondly, how would they know about the performance? It wasn't covered on local radio last night, and wasn't mentioned on the local sports bulletin at 7:30 this morning. It's not in my morning paper either. Someone would have to go to an awful lot of effort to find out about it, and I doubt many would. And even if they did, someone who was put off by the outcome of what is little more than a joint training session involving Leigh and Salford was never likely to be in it for the long haul anyway.

No. The important thing was to have a hit out and not pick up injuries. The time to impress is in three weeks, when a full strength team is needed to face up to a fired up Wakefield team who will be far from pushovers.

Turns out they won though. Which is nice.

Behave yourself Worzel. Leigh will finish in the top 4 of the Championship. Good luck to them.

i do see the argument that we needed to win against leigh its just a message to the fans who are looking at the newspaper reportd at the moment deciding if salford will be worth a watch this season

If we beat Wire / keep it respectable in the next friendly that will send a messge out for sure that salford are going places
