I think that's spot on......

Because they had a bad side and a bad coach, 10 signings and a proven coach and they're a different team.

| Too much rubbish on this about change of game plan. Nothing wrong with our game plan, just our ability to execute it. Had we done that today it would have been closer. We had 4 tries disallowed due to poor execution. The only one I can 100% say was the right call was the forward pass, the other three where at the other end. Better execution and we score those tries. Haggerty then missed a very unexpected chance. On another day we score it. That's 5 tries, taking out any conversions that's 20 points. With a possibility of another 10 from the kicks. I do however think the difference today was rangi chase. He destroyed us, don't think had we done everything right in attack we would have won.

But that is my point! The championship is full of clubs getting bog all money and it's keeping standards way down. If top championship clubs had to play well for at least 50 minutes to win against most opponents in their league then those top clubs would stand a chance of raising their game and claiming a place in SL.
As it is, the top sides need only play for 20 or 30 minutes to beat their opponents.

| Well I think we are better than the scoreline suggested.
Sometimes you get the bounce of the ball. Today we didn't.
Rangi Chase had a top game but we missed too many tackles.
We all know as do our players. We can still bounce back and we will.

| Well I wasn't expecting to win either of the first two games, and I don't think any leigh supporter with any knowledge of the game would either
Today saw Salford field it's first choice 17 for the first time since April, and at that point they were 4th in SL. That said I can't help but be disappointed by the margin of defeat. Not so much that I wasn't expecting it (I predicted a 30 point margin) but the sheer lack of intensity from some players in defence was shameful.
Clearly some players know they won't be dropped, and quite what our young guns need to do to get a game remains beyond me. Acton and Spencer would have added some much needed desire in the pack, Sarsfield is one of the most gifted ball handling back rowers I've seen for a long time and Pownall when selected this year has been our best winger bar none.
I won't bag the players who aren't in great form, they probably know it, but at some point soon a change is needed. A starting front row with a combined age of over 100 might work for leeds but sadly not for us....

| Leigh were awful. That is not a Superleague team. Some fans are far too arrogant.

Jeez, little Leigh have the 'audacity' to beat 2 SL teams in the challenge cup, and be leading Warrington away at half time in the Q/F. Lose 2 league games in the last 2 seasons, so a few Leigh RLFANS get a little carried away. Salford aren't a TOP 4 side are they, like Marwan expected last season ? So, do Super League sides ever put 40+ points past one another ? Don't think they do, judging my some SL trolls comments on visiting our forum. It's like 'how bad are Leigh' all of a sudden. Credit where it's due I think, but maybe not. One of the trolls on here Chissitt (from Wakefield) we had a few exchanges, but I decided to end it, and paid his club a compliment. He ignored that, because he is a keyboard warrior with no balls, and continues with his delirium on here.

I feel privileged, 12 posts in nearly nine years and one about us; it could become a collector's item.

| I've got no axe to grind with Leigh or it's supporters, but as i said last week, you have to accept that quite a few Leigh fans on various forums/social media sites have been getting giddy a lot this year, basically giving it the "big un" because you went so long unbeaten and beat ( and deservedly ) 2 super league teams in the cup.
even though most people were warning them that the middle 8's would be a totally different ball game, they wouldn't have it, 'all conquering Leigh' were gonna steamroll their way into super league and take 10,000 fans with them etc, it all got a bit much for some of them.
so you can understand why folk might wanna come on here and do a bit of rubbing in.

| Gave chase far too much space and he showed what he can do if left to his own devices!
The injuries we currently have didn't help and the bench we had today wasn't of the quality we've been spoilt with all season (although I presume Spencer and Acton are not fit as one if not both would have been on it for me).
50 / 50 calls we've been getting went Salfords way so that all important rub of the green you need when playing established SL games was missing.
Bottom line though is a full strength Salford looks a far different team to the one that has staggered through SL all season and I must admit if they had been able to play that team all season they wouldn't have been playing us today!
Pretty sure I still haven't seen us beat Salford away (when was the last time we won away at Salford?).
Need to get back to what we do well and remember these first two games was always going to be tough.
A good week in training before getting back to a packed LSV (this fixture really needs promoting locally in Leigh as we need a big vociferous home support backing the lads for what will be a really tough test against Wakefields Super 8's team).
Disappointed today but the target the club set itself is still very much in its own hands.
