| To add to that, I feel the only reason we are playing O'Brian at full back is because of his passing game and that our game plan for this year is to get the ball out wide more. Surely we can get Robert Lui to teach Niall Evalds to become a world class passer of the ball.

| Quote: John Gilbert Reds "I don't think it was a case of them taking their foot off the gas. They've got a big pack, their game plan was always going to be to blow us away early when the tiredness sets in. I think that is where they'll struggle this season against better teams who can stay within touching distance of them (or be ahead) around the 60 minute mark, they'll tired and leak points.
We were our own worst enemies with the unforced errors and needless penalties. We gifted them so much field possession and territory we gave ourselves little chance. Improve on that for Thursday and we're in with a shout. We've got more than enough quality to score points, it's just not giving the opposition enough of the ball to score more against us that could be the problem.
As others have said, O'Brien and Joseph to drop out for either Haggerty/A.Walne and Evalds.'"
yes we tired, but that was because we were down 2 interchanges and had to leave frank on when realistically we would have took him off! we still have players like ellis to come back into our squad too, plus other forwards who could step in, hadley, fash, downs

Well I will stand by my comments as I believe that was the original plan and I hope they (coaching staff) stick to it.
Solly - the club won`t miss you one bit. Would suggest you take up something less troubling as obviously following Salford is too much trauma.
As Captain of the Titanic I am looking for less ice and warmer weather.

| I am glad they won't, I have thrown away more more money than I care to imagine following this club especially when my job allowed me to travel home and away I didn't miss a game for five seasons but yeah the club don't need to keep the long suffering fans on board one bit.
Trust me, you can say what you wish on here but friends of mine who have been going 40 years have had enough so it's not just me but you keep your blinkers on and defend this shambles of a club.
I will probably be there this season because I am a fool but I certainly won't be throwing my money away on thursday, I hope the lads win of course I do but we all know what is coming.

| I appreciate what your saying and most fans are in the same boat, but this is Salford that your supporting not Wigan after all.
I think it's s bit of an over reaction to say the least, one competive game in with a completely new team against probably a top 4 grand final challenging side.
We brought super stars in it didn't work, we've got a steady squad now building for the future, this guy Sheens is no mug and won't want to end his career as a failure at Salford.

| We've played Saints 41 times in SL, we've won 4. Last time in 2010.
Most of the losses have been 20 point + .
Can't understand the suicidal tendancies at the prospect of another reversal, which is odds on.
Just looking for improvement TBH.
The pre season bonhomie rudely interupted by The harsh awakening that the hard work is still to be done.
Hopefully the team , and the fans will both get a grip, expectation is a defeat, but no dummies being spat out.

| The only comparison is they have both achieved a lot in their respective careers before coming to their current clubs.
Difference is the expectation and pressure, LVG was expected to start winning the the premier league, whereas well everyone just expects Salford to lose.
LVG only had one way to go...down. Whereas Sheens has the chance to turn this club around over the next 3 years and go quietly about it.

I told you Salford would go ok this season.
Saints have been poor, but Hull were red hot last week, this is a decent Salford team.

| The first thing that came into my head this morning was 44 - 10 !I watched the game again and was surprised how much we were in control. As a Salford fan for more years than I care to remember, I actually spent too much of the game thinking "We can still lose this!" Only this morning did I realise we were never really threatened and how much we were on top.
The last time I felt this good about a game was probably twenty years ago when we beat Wigan in the Cup at the Willows. At Hull last week I thought we had tries in us, but thought our pack was too lightweight and that we would struggle a bit behind a beaten pack, but last night our forwards gave a very good account of themselves. Much will be said about a poor Saints performance but perhaps Saint Helens only managed to play as well as we let them.
Games often tend to produce a massive over-reaction, particularly on here. Last week we were the worst team in the League and this week we are going to be the best according to some. I know that form can vary, but as long as effort and commitment stays high, perhaps we now have a genuine team ethos for the first time in many a long year that can help us advance. Last night the product on the pitch was better than the sum total of the players. We didn't see contrived celebrations where everybody rushed over to celebrate, but saw players genuinely playing for each other. Better discipline and fewer mistakes helped too. All seventeen deserve high praise.
If we can build on this.............but hang on, this is Salford! I just hope I don't have to wait another twenty years.

| Last week was poor, last night was brilliant.
Think the obvious litmus test will be when we play Widnes, a team who are on the same sort of level as us and the type of team we should be beating if we are seriously going to be challenging for a top 8 spot.
