Speaking of which thank God we got beat in the semi final. Imagine that dross at Wembley against a fired up St Helens. It would've been a total humiliation.

No composure, no aggression, no desire! We are shooooiiiiiite!

The players attitude stank, but so did the coaching.
No structure in either attack or defence.
Slow to move up yet again, no direction or leadership.
Seen all too many times, same failings not being rectified.
Something has to give.

What on earth do we do at training,that was not good enough.If i was Radford i would be getting a bit worried because Adam Pearson might like him, but i am sure he would love a grand final more, and the financial pay off it involves.That was abysmal but unfortunately it has become the norm and if it's not the players at fault,who is.

At least we can't blame Mini for this games errors.

I read that every team is nearer to the bottom than the top of SL apart from Saints. Glad it's Warrington there as well!

i believe this team as a whole isn't good enough to be in top 4, on the day we can beat anybody but just not good enough to do it week in week out, we look tired today, we got exposed on the flanks but for me we again got overrun in the middles, apart from taylor and Houghton our starting 6 will be different, with Soa, manu, jones savillo to join Satae just hope 2 weeks rest will be good for us and we get a few fit bodies back, is masi injured? next 3 matches we have to win 2, but cant see us going far in the playoffs, but hey ho we always have hope,

Excellent. We're 4th at the end of the day, will likely finish 6th. Hope Hudds can deliver a miracle tomorrow.

think we will finish 4/5,

Radfords comments after the game

Lack of intent
Players let the club down

and what about this
asked whether he just wants to get on with the match against Huddersfield
he answered not with some of these blokes
Really Lee .Not the right thing to say in public

However nothing about any of his failings

Played Tuimavave who was not fit and carrying an injury.Hence Buchanan on the bench giving us a lightweight bench
played both Bowden and Westerman in front of Masi and Jack Brown when both are struggling for form.
Shauls form dropped off a cliff.
Satae came off the bench in the first half and only five minutes at the end when the game was lost.Whats that all about?
He should have a least had one spell with Taylor
Ar the moment Radford is Teflon but it wont last forever

shocking performance, backed up with shocking attitude that stank the place out! 16-6 up we thought we would stroll it....well done salford, far quicker, better and played as a team! hastings ran the show from half time

another abysmal home showing,salford looked far fitter,more composed,well drilled than our error strewn rabble,they played with about 50 speccies watching on,we had 11 000 and couldn't be d.good job we have a decent away record or we would be scrapping it out with the dobbins.

Totally agree pedestrian and clueless!

Completely agree with you there and maybe complacency has set in with Lee due to his close relationship with Adam.
Hastings and Jones aside I would not have any other Salford players in our team, yet they play entertaining rugby and play as a team.
We should have beaten them with our comparative teams but desire and structure were evident in 1 team and it certainly wasn't ours.

I have said for years that we badly need to bring an Attacking coach in. All of the coaching staff were grafters as players, none of them know a good attacking play.

Sadly this season will go down as one that got away. Had we not wasted time and money signing squad players like Nzougou, Langtree and Washbrook, and actually replaced Watts with a big money signing we might have ended up at Wembley and be in with a shot of Old Trafford, and even if we still ended up trophyless you'd have said it was a good year.

Instead its felt like the class of 2016/2017 running of of steam, playing inconsistently, hovering around the playoff places but never sticking their head above the chasing pack and looking like contenders

We're getting as bad as Warrington for the 'wait til next year' hype and I'm as impressed as everyone is with our new signings, but you could have played all the new names today and it'd have added more 'grunt' but it still.wouldent fix the lack of attacking direction and woeful passing skills. A lot of work needs to be done this Winter.
