| At 14 points up in the second half we looked like we were playing as if we were 14 points down.

| When Salford were dire, we were dominant. As soon as they played like you would expect a team to play, we struggled. We couldn't convert superiority to points, and Salford made real inroads on the fringes.
Were it not for Danny Kirmond pulling that ball out, we would have lost that game. If we almost blow a game with so much dominance, what happens when we get to the arm wrestles?
I'll take the win, but don't take too many positives from it.

| I'm just happy with the win, sure we made it hard for ourselves but I believe that we've had our confidence knocked bad in recent weeks and this win will go a long way to instilling some self belief back into the side. The team knows it can play, we've shown it various times but we've failed to nail that full 80 minute performance, hopefully on the back if this we can build. Said before the game that I thought Salford were there for the taking and found it hard to believe that a few fans thought we had no chance against them for some reason and as it proved we had just enough for them.

Yeah, I'll take that spin. Wish we didn't have Saints away next. Except that if Danny Kirmond had not pulled that ball out, it would have been very poor, a disgrace.

| Quote: PopTart "Firstly a win is a win. Some people are just never satisfied.
So they nearly beat us.....but they didn't. Sometimes I think some on here will only be satisfied when we beat Leeds by 50.
I watched at game and now on tv and we deserved the win. No doubt.
For me Kirmond and Wilkes were outstanding. Smith saved us at least 3 times with covering wild passes or dropped kicks.
Aiton was his usual self. Great player.
I felt that quite a few decisions went against us too. They could easily have had a man in the bin with holding down when we broke away and got stopped short. Both were penalties but he didn't consider card.
We had ball knocked out when on their line too.
Equally Aiton's non try was great skill but just failed to complete. Ki forward pass non try could easily have been a try as we had already broken them just didn't execute.
Add to that they were throwing the ball around on catch up and it came off for them.
We have to fix our second half concentration but that was as much about panicking because of recent form as anything. Didn't think anyone played badly and cost us the game.
There seems to be two groups on here.
Those that sing "Wakefield till I die"
And those that should sing "I'm Wakefield till they make a mistake then I'm not supportive and will be overly critical and negative and might as well be supporting Cas"
Get a grip. We won. Enjoy it.'"
You know whilst your positive look on things is refreshing and some of what you say i agree with. But to be honest you don't half come across as a condesending prick. People weren't happy with the performance, and rightly so. You deal with it.

If you were then all is lost, massive improvement needed, we all want the same thing but some are just more easily pleased than others.
Lets hope its a step in the right direction.

| Good first half with one lousy kick leading to a Salford try and a silly mistake nearly giving them another just before the hooter
Alton/Wilkes/Amor/Mathers/Fox/Ben/Kirkmond/James/ all played well Collis at times bar the inside pass when he had Fox on the wing.
Lousy call in the 2nd half ref Mathers but the same players yet again went missing in the 2nd half no need to name them at times the kick on the last was woeful all night but the chase in the first 50 minutes was good

I will try and explain my feelings differently then. I wasn't intending that.
However it is clearly winding me up how negative some are getting even when things are starting to get better.
I stand by what I said but accept I could rephrase.

| I missed the game as i went to the snooker, ive not seen any of the game at all, but the most important thing was winning the game, getting a bit of confidence back into the side.

I'm not sure how much confidence can be taken into the next match after finishing the game hanging in. Had there been another 2 minutes left Trinity would've lost. Much like the Catalans match, although I couldn't see it at the time, there is no momentum to take into the Saints game.

| So we take Wire all the way and lose we play great they play crap according to their sources (because they were playing Wakefield)
Did we play crap NO did salford well for 40 minutes they werent allowed to play.
I was happy last night we got the 2 moved up the league onwards and upwards.
I love the keyboard coaches on here, its agame of inches sometimes we are not getting the rub of the green yet but it will come
Well done lads for winning great team effort in the face of adversity
Great crowd btw 6748 is a great effort by the club.

I actually thought we played well for 70mins, their 2 tries when score was 26-12 were totally against the run of play and with a bit of luck and a couple of the refs calls been more accurate, we would have won far more easily
