When we lose we get 10 pages of abuse against the players, staff, club and Ignito. BUT when we win, almost no one writes any positive posts. Seems about right.

Wasn't a champagne performance and we did only beat a NL1 side - but at this stage, a win is a win. It builds confidence.

Spirit of 2003. Get behind the lads.

Don't forget we lost to leigh!

Had it been wigan I'm sure things would be different.

I notice yesterday wigan won hull kr quite easily. We could be on for a bit of a battering.

Yeah, that's more like it...

S.S. did you get the pound bus from the willows or raffles quay??

I got the bus from raffles quay and changed in dubai. I should have just gone straight to the willows.

Getting to the new stadium on public transport is all trial and error at the moment...

Stood waiting for the 67 for 40 minutes on the way there yesterday so ended up getting a cab, think on match days with there being 4 of us going from Eccles it's cheaper and more reliable to grab a minicabs.

Anyone know who the you replacement hooker playing 35 was? looked more than capable to m.

Good to get a win.

Will raise confidence and lift moral around the club after last week.
Couldnt make it to teh game yesterday but from what i heard there was a lot of positives to take out of it and Feka sounds like he's put in a strong performance. Read he's weighed in at 113 kg this year compared to 130kg last year.

Looking forward to the season starting now..
not long to go.

I think it was Stuart Howarth . "A Trialist" scored a try , and according to the MEN , he is the only player who scored whose name im not familiar with

Still losers in my eyes. Halifax started the game very positive and looked by far the better side on 20 mins taking a 16-6 lead, there's no way we could afford to conceed 16 points in 20 mins against a superleague club. Feka was brought onto the field which changed SCR's attitude by some hard running. I must say Ryan Boyle looked well off the pace, he looked very sluggish and overweight, Feka and anderson played well, they were the standouts for me, smith played well from 30 minutes onwards. Second half Halifax didn't offer much going forward and was evident they had 3-4 first team players missing from their fixture with Keighley on boxing day. Very disappointed with the forwards definately not superleague class except for Feka and Anderson, i'll give credit where it's due regarding them two, although it was only Halifax, it should be expected.

Also very poor Salford turn out again in attendance, we was out numbered by Halifax. I see St helens have sold out for their fixture with widnes, puts things in perspective i suppose.

I thought the game changed when Palea'aseena and Sidlow came on.(Sidlow doesn't get the credit he deserves for me.) Once we had some go-forward in the pack our half backs could then play some football. Vinnie Anderson showed us that he could play a bit too, and took his try really well.

Matty Smith had a good game too. I thought his kicking game was as good as I've seen from him in a Salford shirt.

Unlike the Leigh match, we always looked like we could score tries and for me were clearly the better team.

Our rustiness showed with moves that didn't quite come off as our timing was a bit out. I think we must have given away three(?) penalties for obstructions in moves that had looked promising.

At least we now have something to build on. The next target must be to try to improve our defence out wide.

It was really encouraging to see Sidlow showing some aggression. More of the same I hope.

Decided to go at the last minute,agree with the other posters about Feka,anderson and Smith.We cannot start games like we did yesterday,no S.L.team will let us back in to the game so easily being 16_6 down.What doe`s concern me is this queing for tickets at the office,like i said we went at the 2 and it was 3 before we got in,thats not to bad on a Sunday but Friday nights i can see it being a nightmare and putting people off going if like me its a last minute decision,other than that enjoyed the second half,i thought that trialist was Josh Veivers ,i was obviously wrong.

Another slow start which we will need to improve on but on the whole a lot of positives to take from the game. Like others have said, Feka looked a different player on last year and if he can go like that for rest of the season then he'll be like a new signing. Think Broughton will enjoy playing outside of Moon and can see that side being quite prolific going forward. I do worry about a Gleeson/Williams combination defensively though. Moon needs new boots, they were horific!

Posted on the Reds FB page about cash turnstiles. They've basically said that the stadium company do not want them. I can see this being a major problem going forward. I worry when team brings a few away fans ala Wigan/Wire etc the ticket office simply wont be able to cope. Only 1800 their yesterday and it looked to me like they were really struggling with those numbers. All a learning experience for them i suppose.
