Eckersley in for Miski, otherwise unchanged

Number one priority - avoid suspensions. No stupid tackles.

For me Peet got it bang on no point resting players go for the silverware and let the cards land where they may good performance against a poor Salford side can't ask for anymore

An easy game and then a 2 week break worries me slightly but the side look ready for a big tilt at a Grand Slam (has anyone in the media acknowledged that possibility yet? ). Opportunities like this don't come around very often and I think they'll know that.

I didn't notice any major injury worries. Dupree looked about ginger but nothing major. In terms of discipline,you never know what they may find but fingers crossed. Keighran was a bit daft in putting the shoulder in to Ormonroyd at one point but it was to the body and not the head, so it should be ok. Ellis seemed to put some contact on Cust, that he wasn't happy about in the 2nd half but I didn't really see what it was.

Can't imagine there'd be anything to worry about. Didn't seem to be a difficult game to referee, apart from the one flare-up. Very few pens and six-agains, I thought.

And yeah; Dupree. I said to my neighbour, he's been better the last few games, but he's still not really pulling up any trees, is he? What do you think?

I think he is doing fine.

professional performance and job done

hopefully no injuries or suspensions picked up

some nicely worked tries, and left some out there too, with what seemed like an obsession to kick to score at one point



Little flare up in the 2nd half was needed as it got the lads focussed again

Sidlow gave me the biggest laugh of the night when he blew everything up and then as everyone was expecting him to take in the next Salford carry and keep the drama going, proceeded to literally hide directly behind the dummy half, so he couldn't get the ball



Jamie Peacock like it was not!

2 wins away from immortality.

We had every excuse going not to win that Shield. World Club, Wembley, Mid week games, spine players missing most of summer.

Absolutely brilliant.

to be honest at the time i thought Byrne was stupid for getting involved, when the game was won, and all we needed to do was see it out. But it did get the crowd going and refocus us

Re Sidlow, completely agree, he didnt want go anywhere near the ball

Found it funny last night when one fella shouted 'you manc b*stard' at Sidlow, I had to shout back 'he's from Whelley'
