| Can't remember the last time I walked out after a Salford game gutted we didnt get 50!
Top win Salford, some great trys. Most thing I am happy about is the was the lads react to scoring/opposition dropping the ball/putting in big tackles....looks like a really good team spirit at the minute.
Must admit, apart from the 1st 10 minutes London looked half decent, and we did well to keep it 0 - 0, but their heads soon dropping after we scored a couple.
Patten is looking like the player we were promised when we signed him
Moon is looking like the best centre we have had since Naylor
Jewitt is playing the best rugby I have seen him play
....and all this without our 2 best wingers!!!
COME ON SALFORD!!!!!!

The way we are attacking, I would say a lot of it is down to Long. The use of dummy runners, players hitting the ball at pace, spinning the ball out 2nd/3rd tackle.....its like watching St Helens when they were good!

Not as much as I'd give Vievers. There's no doubt that Long has brought a new dimension to our attacking play - the movement and the lines players are running and the way the half backs and hookers are bringing them in and deciding who to pass to has definitely got the look of Sean Long
But that said I think the two key things are the spirit the team are playing with and the fact that the players have been given the freedom to try things and will be supported to take risks. And that is down to the head coach. Vievers has also improved the goal line defence too - lost count of how many sets Hull had on our line last week and London had a good few tonight. last year that didn't happen, teams seemed to score every time they got into our 20
So far I'm really pleased with our new coaching set up and the next month will be a real test for our new found resolve

Without a doubt Long's attributes have revived our attack. Smiths passing looks crisp. We look a complete different team in attack. Also credit must go to PV for a total restructuring of tactics. Joel moon looks a class act stepping and offloading creating gaps and getting on the end of Holdworths passes.

Widnes three weeks ago!
Awesome performance tonight, scored some great tries. London's forwards were decent, they were just awful with ball in hand when trying to create something. Some of their attacking play, or lack thereof, was reminiscent of ours from the last three years at times.
Really glad that Moon's back, he looks dangerous almost every time he touches the ball and he showed his class yet again with his passing.
You know it's your night when Feka scores try straight from dummy half at 10 metres out. Continues to improve every week, so glad the pre-season rumours were wrong about us getting rid of him.

| Thought Howarth was unlucky not to be man of the match tonight, he was immense in attack especially. Not sure I've seen a better passer from dummy half at salford in all the years I've watched them - maybe Peter Edwards??
Owen brings some real pace when he comes on and the pack really stepped up again tonight - Jewitt, Feka, McPhearson, Boyle all did well. Thought it was one of Wilde's best performances and I'm a big fan of his and Jordan James showed some real pace and power and an passing game I didn't know he had! And that's before we even start with the backs....

| the next two games will be the test of how far we have come, win them and boy we are half way to the play offs. I can't remember when we had a positive points difference after 5 games, but we are getting there.

The strangest thing is, is that for the 1st time in a long time it actually seems that we have a game plan. I think Vievers & Long compliment each other so well. Long seems to have been given a free license to get the attack into shape and you can tell from the way we move the ball that he has been very influential. The defence also seems to be much improved, man on man tackles are being made rather missed and our sliding defence is looking solid where in the past it's been non existent.
There's still a long way to go but you the signs are promising. Were finally taking advantage of other teams weaknesses. London had a much better pack than us so what do we do? Move the ball out wide at pace and expose their edges. Fantastic game and it's brilliant to come away being disappointed we didn't put 50+ past a team.

| Thought tonight that Patten was head and shoulders above a Salford player, every time we went forward the link included him and I was astounded he didn't get MOM.
Moon going to be a legend, hands like i've not seen in many a year.
The pack were immense, JJ looked like a different player than what everyone was expecting and Feka again looked hungy for the ball and work rather than pies.
A slight down side for me we still need a place kicker and penalty tacker who we can rely on more than DJ, too late this season but a definate investment needs to be made, Wes Naiqama (sorry tipsy and not the best of speller) would do an absolute treat for me.

| Did anyone see what happened to Gibson ? taken off after 20 odd minutes , and didn't come back on ,
Wild dropped back into centres with moon and we had Nero & Gleeson on the wings.
Hope we haven't lost yet another back to injury !
Patten's weaving run in open play for the opening try was worth the admisson on it's own.
two tough games coming up though but full credit to the all players tonight , it was difficult to single out any individual . so they all deserve the plaudits

| Great team spirit was again visibly evident tonight. Our attack at present is the best i've seen in many years watching Salford, thank god no more safety first 'one man rugby' and asking no big questions of our opponents.If the players can Keep this huge effort up Salford will go places. Every player seems to be putting in a huge effort and pulling in the right direction at the moment. Personally i think this squad of players is just starting to realise how much quality they have when they play for each other.
It will be tough in the next couple of games but I really hope this new found attacking confidence, resolute defence, effort and team spirit will not be lost with complacency after a good run

| Fantastic game last night from the lads. I think the team spirit is amazing. Patten had a brilliant game and was definitely MOM for me. I think Wild had some great runs too. It was also great to see how much the lads were up for it. Smith's reaction to his try showed how much it meant and Holdsworth looked excited too. Even though we were 44-12 up we were still watching our positions for kick offs and keeping our concentration.
I'm so proud of the way we've improved our game and love that fact that we keep building on this each week. We've looked at our faults from previous games and have actually worked on it and the results show!
Actually, can anyone recall the last time we won 3 games in a row during Super League, if ever?
Well done Salford. Keep this going!!
