The games going down the swanee from what I've just seen . Amateur presentation , poor game, 2 coaches not impressed to say the least about a ref from the night before- just brushed aside by the sky boys ....bet the viewing figures were a good as the crowd .
Phil Clarke - " actually I think it was 26 penalties and not 27 "
JESUS!

god that was boring

you just can't make it up can you that these two side will be given another franchise

don't forget though they will have better stadiums though

Only the RFL can answer that.

I remember last season when we played Hull and we got criticized and crucified by the SKY mob, for the quality of RL.

The game reminded me very much of the Dewsbury v Hunslet game on Thursday. Crusaders, like Hunslet, just wanted to spoil the game and disrupt their opponents flow. Credit to Crusaders because it worked a treat. Salford, unlike Dewsbury, just fell apart and put in a woefull performance. Even star signing Sean Gleeson couldn't save them.
How crap is Vinnie Anderson?

Also. How full is that open end whenever we visit the Willows? Crowd was a bit sp tonight! If the RFL want empty stadia in their Brave New World then success is just round the corner.

I like your optimism.

Last nights game makes a mockery of the whole franchise system IMO. A poor crowd, a poor match but these two are guaranteed franchises because one is apparently Welsh and the other are moving to a new stadium which they will be lucky to fill even a quarter of.

3416 my backside. The shed had about 1000 in it rest of the ground was empty. Real figure would be 2000 ish

And until recently a controversial one in the eyes of many and should not have got in the SL in the first place.

I know you are beating the drum but you need to get your reality glasses on instead of the rose tinted ones.

Agree 100%. If that was top level rugby league then the game is up. Crusaders niggling and constant offside going unpunished making it very scrappy. Salford were absolutely dire would have struggled to knock over a Championship side playing like that. Another point about so called Wales expansion team Crusaders only one Welsh player in the side OAP Gareth Thomas which in my opinion is laughable.

Ahh yes... cant knock anyone else's performance if ours isnt in order.. its not the right way is it.. DOH
