were poor and need to come out of it quickly

Should it take 9 - 10 games to get going every season,it doesn't take wigan,warrington,hudds that long.Bury your head in the sand,but we have won 3 out the last 10 games 2 against hull who have just lost at home to wakey and crusaders,hardly good form is it.I could accept losing if we were blooding youngsters like taylor and bell because the established players switching positions isn't working,but youngstersare a last resort with our coach,the british players in our squad are window dressing to comply with the rules no more,no less.How will we ever find out if these kids are good enough if they dont get a chance.As for not talking to the press he like's the limelight when it suits,a real man would have come out and said he was going to sort it out,but he probably know's he cant.Can you really see us beating hudds,saints,leeds or wigan because i cant and it hurts,pity the coach and players dont seem to feel like that.

I hope for your sakes that Mason calls it a day at the end of the season. He's a spent force... but his name alone must act as some kind of motivation for any young forward. Our 2 young lads who had never played at this level before looked very capable tonight, and it must be a real perk to come up against a name like Mason.

To be honest... Mason was bossed all over the park by anybody that came up against him tonight. Salford played a more expansive game... the sort we haven't seen for a good while at The Willows... perhaps because we were forced to play that way due to the shortage of forwards.

The first 10 minutes of the 2nd half... I thought you had us... we stepped up another notch tonight at that point and ran away with it.

I think you just came up against a City Reds side who wanted to play Rugby League tonight... and we played it well.

WHY WHY WHY SHOULD YOU BE WINNING THESE GAMES??????? . DO US SALFORD NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO BEAT YOU OR WHAT?
you seem to think you have the right to be silver wear material!! Warrington are have been a sleeping giant for years and are now coming good!!! sorry hull kr are no more of a big club than us,hope you enjoyed your last visit to the willows and look forward to seeing you at our spanking shiny new ground next year!!

Good English forward let go by KR had a stormer across the city - Frankie Mariano. As has been said before, KR turned into Ramsey Street (theres's another one in Brough!). These are games when a good, young, hungry English lad wants it more than his £100,00 a year 'Aussie Superstar' team mate. They will be wearing gloves and snoods next!!

You obviously played very well tonight and we are certainly not playing well at all and havnt been for some time, but to say Mason is a spent force is a little naive to say the least, if you have ever played they game yourself then you would know that it usualy takes a few games to get up to speed, especialy when others have a head start as in Masons case.
I would reserve your judgement on the big man untill the end of the season, otherwise you could end up with egg on your face.

Valid points... and I accept what you are saying... I guess despite the fact that it was only his second game, I still expected him to be a little stronger that he was. I will take your points on board and reserve my judgement on him.

Salford were outstanding tonight all credit to them.

As for Mason we got what I expected tonight. Not played for 6 months and had no pre-season it's going to take him maybe 5 or 6 weeks at least to get up to speed. He really was out on his feet and Salford certainly gave him special attention.

Last week he fed off the adreneline rush of his big debut and showed what he could do but even so you could see him gasping for air after a few minutes. I thought then that he would struggle this week and he did.

But come mid-season he will be up to speed and as we saw last week the ability is certainly still there. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Salford themselves find out the hard way when they vist Craven Park later in the season.

But for now well done Salford a real top performance tonight.

You were saying this last year and you were no less wrong then.

There wasn't a particular problem with our defensive patterns tonight, what there was a problem with was our three quarters lazy attempts at tackling and dropping off. Line speed across the park was dreadful, we let Salford pass the ball freely from side to side at will, allowing Ratchford Patten and Holdsworth bring the ball to the line at will. That's not coaching, that's our players believing there own hype and not turning up with their game face on.

Webster and Colbon were terrible tonight, but we [icompletely[/i lacked a leader. I'm a huge fan of Galea, but when we started shipping points in the second half, absolutely no one was talking to each other under the sticks. The senior players are simply not taking responsibility at the moment. Vella is a bigger miss than Dobson at this point in time.

Big thanks to your travelling fans tonight & your appreciation to Salford. None of our fans expected a win tonight with the depleted team we put out, but in adversity the guys gave their all to pull the win out of the bag. Feared for the youngsters thrown into the team tonight in Callum Marriot & Alex Davidson, 1st team debut opposing Willie Mason, but Salford stood up to the task for the 80 minutes.
thanks again see you at Craven Park.

Lets not take anything away from Salford, probably the best they've played for a long while, and their first try is surely a contender for try of the season. The Mason effect seemed to have worked more for Salford tonight than us. Well done Hall and Green, and Lovegroves run was the highlight of a very poor rovers performance.
PS, will someone please tell Welham he is allowed to pass, he doesn't have to try and score every time he gets the ball.

I have to say, Mr. GraftonRed's little picture thing is very flattering.

Good post
Look at Mike Burnett as well, deemed not good enough by Hull they he is outstanding at Quins whilst HFC are getting ripped off by the likes of Luiaki, Manu etc.
SL clubs need to wake up a bit.

Manu ripping hull off?

Have a word.
