Watkins was lying on in EVERY tackle he made. The yellow for Brierly was harsh on him...but not on Salford. The knees on Thewlis when he scored was housery at its worst. First half from Wires was 2022. Second half was 2023. Onwards.

People need to go have a look at that 2nd half, the sin bin was purely down to a totting up process. A handful of six again/penalties was why he was sin binned it could have been any player just happened to be Brierly which was the one player they could not afford to be off the field.

What was the point of having Whitehead on the bench and giving him no game time.

spot on..it was an accumulation of constant offences in the tackle.

Possibly because the first half didn’t go quite the way DP had expected it too.

What was the knock on decision that ruled out Dufty length of the pitch? Think it was Clarke. Was it a knock on? Hard to see anything at the ground or on the screen

Also I’m not liking the combination of Minikin and Thewlis on the edge, if we go the same again next week HKR will have a field day especially if it’s on Kenny-Dowell’s side.

Clark was nowhere near the ball. Every time someone makes a poor pass the refs automatically think there was a hand involved. Watch it back and Clark only hits Croft and dufty goes the length. It should've been given. But hey ho, we only won because Brierley was binned!

According to Stains fans, we're the RFL's favourite

Ref was awful & Rowley's Championship level cheating and unpleasantness caught up with Salford, who played superbly in that 1st half, but tired in the second and reverted to the Rowley blueprint of lying on, constant offsides at the ptb, and gobbing off to the ref about everything. Shame really coz they show that they can play some good rugby.

Our defence needs to tighten up massively or we could be in big trouble in the not too distant future.

Well done on the comeback Wire, much prefer the class of 23 to the class of 22, but there's still a lot of work to do.

PS - Williams is looking like the real deal, which is great to see

First half was poor. A mirror image of last season. Nice to see a little mental fortitude from our lot in the second half. If that was 2022's side, we'd've needed Prof. Brian Cox to keep count of the score.

Ref called it perfectly. A few on here seem to forget the "totting up" procedure for constant penalties (which has been in place for seasons) ...... next one's in the bin. Got his just desserts. Eight point tries were fair. The knee slide was despicable. Dead leg territory. Maybe the face slap to Dufty was a impulse thing, rather than foul play. Only the Salford player will know.

I'm still reserving judgement on this side. We went 3 from 3 last season, then, the less said about the rest of the year, the better. Let's see where we are, a few weeks after Easter.

More kicking practice required for Ratchford. Hitting the post from easy kicks will come back to bite us one day.

Good point, that should 100% have been play on and had he let the play run its course and gone to the screen I believe it would have been a try for us.

Bearing in mind he was going to the screen for nearly everyone of our tries, it was bizarre he didn't let that run

Did anybody else who watched on TV think the commentary from Pyke and Amor was embarrassingly pro-Salford? Only O'Connor made any effort to commend anything we did.

If Amor harbours this much of a grudge for his little stint with us last year it is going to be miserable listening to him on commentary for the next decade or so.

It’s pretty clear that Sky are only interested in fuelling a narrative that ends with Powell losing his job. Some of the comments were completely unnecessary and hardly balanced in that first half. Even at the end very little credit was given in respect of the comeback win. Imagine if that had of been ‘never right off the Saints’
