Whats happened to Eliis, Green and Hadley?

Far too many penalties condeded in the first half!

Not really got going, way too many errors and penalties. Can't imagine Radford will be delighted. Salford good value for the lead, look good and caught us on the break more than once. Good to see Taylor, Mini and Manu back. Turgut showing up OK, will be in consideration v Wakey I'd have thought.

Referee sounds absolutely clueless, doesn't sound like he has a clue what the new rules are.
We're really not clicking in attack whatsoever and like Dave said, Radders won't be happy with this at all.

I know not to read too much into friendlies but really underwhelmed at how our pre season has gone. Thought we would have got a few wins to get confidence up.

The KR game was a bit of a farce should have had a stronger squad. Hopefully the young uns will progress if anything out of all this, here is hoping.

What was the final score

18 - 6

Do we need to re think what sort of team is being sent to Donny next week now? As I presume before today radders just planned on sending the u23s, but could be worth sending more first teamers to get the combinations right, sort out discipline during games etc

Sounded poor, too many errors and penalties. But it's only a friendly and I am very confident in this group of players and coaching staff to get us ready for the Wakey game.

"Sounded", I thought you were an uber fan?

Strange one; better second half but not where we need to be in attack and missed the physicality of Ellis, Green and Bowden for me, although Turgut showed up very well. Errors the main concern, I'm not sure that whether due to cold conditions or new combinations. Shuffled the pack a lot in the backs with Connor, Naughton, Michaels all coming on; not sure he knows his first choice 17 now.

On the positive side the starting front row looked good as did Shaul. Some class plays from Sneyd too, short GLD which we got possession from. Glimpses of quality but no real cohesion. Maybe in January that's not that unusual.

Other forms of transport are available...

Oh look another Rovers troll.

Careful PC, we've met before. Anyway, I can confirm that Salford's refreshments fall short of the KCOM standards, just typical stadium catering fare. Tea was PG tips I think as opposed Yorkshire tea at the KCOM. MASSIVE thumbs down from me therefore.

Not ideal but not worried
Salford 3rd game in a row with a full strength team so they'll be well tuned up
Our first really and still missing a big chunk of pack in green Bowden n Ellis
To say how many errors and pens we gifted to concede only a couple more scores is defo 1 positive
So defence is ok. So next week I'd go strong and blitz em and run through our play book to get the attack jump started
