whipping boys? salford have a strong team, but when the injuries hit them they will start to struggle, till then they will go well.

sure we was drawing 8-8 early in the second half, not too bad considering who we had out

get ready for another defeat at catalans next week

Salford has an advantage over many teams in that the preconceived opinions of us make teams sloppy. We will be whipping boys if we concede injuries in key positions. But to be honest, who wouldn't be?

You're right in that most fans and pundits have written us off before we even kicked a ball, and that's where the problem lies. We are not going to win the GF, but I'm pretty sure that we'll beat any team that approaches us with the same mentality that you assessed the outcome of this game.

I think the lesson of the weekend is don't underestimate Salford or London!

TBF I don't think the Giants took Salford lightly - we were just outplayed on the day.

It's not the fact we were beaten that is the issue. I'ts the fact that we showed no fight whatsoever. I can also see warning signs coming from Woolford. In one interview he intimated that until it gets warmer we will be 'playing the conditions' which means sticking it up your jumper. Stone made exactly the same mistake, in thinking that just because it's cold you can't play rugby. Conditions were perfect on Friday for good rugby, there was no rain and the ground wasn't soft or churned up. Both Australian coaches have had us coming out of the blocks slowly because they have never played in British winter conditions before. Sure, if its absolutely pouring down you change your game plan, but there's no need to play the kind of predictable one out rubbish we served up just because it's cold and it's february!

One team that will not write Salford off is Hull KR.

Hugely impressive win at our place in the qualifiers what a wake up call you gave us. The spine of Evalds, Lui & Hastings is the best in Super League bar none. Signing former Robin Ken Sio hasn't done any harm either!

Salford are Super League's best kept secret no doubt. One victim down and counting.

indeed till the injuries kick in....

would they have beaten us with 10 players out?? dont think so
