I'd say that was a game between two poor sides.

Salford with have lots of confidence after that win, so complacency mustn't be part of our preparation otherwise we will come unstuck!

Nobody has said any different.

Forget about Salford for a second. The reason people on this thread may seem over confident in your opinion, is because how good our form has been so far this season.

I saw nothing in tonights game that knocks my confidence going into friday because I know if we play well, we'll win well.

I agree with you RLIMR. Wire fans have lost enough games like Good Friday's not to assume it will be a win. But, if we play anything like we have in any of our matches (even the Wigan and St Helens ones), we should run out big winners. Our pack and three quarters are playing very, very well and if the half backs click, then we're going to smash someone. Of course, we might not play well and lose to Salford.

Salford were very work man like tonight..But Hull were pretty poor Sean Long had tough night he was targeted and had to do a fair bit of defence...

I take nothing for granted being a Wire fan..No easy games IMO..

Yes indeed

Did Rob Parker intentionally go for Sean Long's eye ? It seemed to me he may well have due to the appearance of having a second go at it.

Dunno, but he broke something last night. You could lip read him running off, maybe his wrist.

Wakefield came on Friday, full of confidence on 10 points and looked inept. I expect Salford to look similar. As discussed, with greater composure Friday would have been a cricket score. Providing the conditions this Friday are condusive to open rugby, I expect the same.

Anyone know if uncle fester is going to be fit for Friday?

I think Wakey suffered without Brough and without a few games post-Brough to re-arrange their attack. On paper we are miles ahead of Salford, but so were we first game of 2006 ( I think ) at home when we got stuffed by them. We are a different team to those days, but as others have said, Salford stopped Hull playing Saturday and got the win, and they will try the same against us.

Wakey looked fine without Brough against Salford and won pretty easy

Hull stopped themselves playing with poor ball retention & discipline. When they got through sets, they dominated.

Wakefield are a good side, were last week, will be next week, we simply dismissed them, from the first minute. Whilst we weren't clinical from there on, a similar or better performance from us on Friday would spell trouble for Salford.

Hull has a great pack but their backs carry about as much a try scoring threat as an out of form Dean Gaskell.

And the one back they have that looks like being a threat has been dropped. Hall.

But they beat Saints at Knowsley Road, something we couldn't do with or without Gaskell.
