It had nothing to do with it. After our hammering of Leigh last week, it was obvious from the body language of our players during the warm up that they thought yesterday would be a walk in the park. A case of turning up, going through the motions and picking up the "easy" 2 points on offer. Instead, they were caught cold and shell shocked by the enthusiasm of the Bulls players both in defence and attack.

When Jake Mullaney is cutting through your defence like a knife through hot butter, you know the effort just isn't there. They've just made the job more difficult for themselves than it needed to be, I expect a big response at Halifax in a couple of weeks times.


Did you think yourself as a fan! It would be a walk in the park? There's no championship side in the middle 8's going to roll over and die.You wasted us as you say,but forgot to take the same mentality of that game to Odsal.Do the same with Fax and you will have a similar result.

I'm disappointed with your guys! Feeling utterly depressed after our Saturday frustrations against Wakefield, I consoled myself by thinking that things couldn't get much worse. Then your lot rolled over at Bradford................................. :(

I wont lie - yes I did. I thought we'd have beaten Bradford by 30+ points going off our performance last weekend as well as theirs vs Wakefield. I suspect this was the mindset of the players too and they were punished for it, I have seen some poor Salford performances over the years but that was one of the worst.

Thankfully I expect that result to give us a bit of a kick up the backside which should result in a much improved performance against 'Fax.

Our dire performance has certainly made the qualifiers more interesting though...

I see it as Salford selflessly putting the greater good of RL ahead of their own interests. Everyone was saying the middle 8s weren't working because SL sides kept winning. so we thought we'd make it more interesting and give the RFL's new structure the shot in the arm it needed. People should be thanking us

I would've thanked you if you'd made the gesture the week before when you played us :)

Re: Just a thought... : Tue Aug 25, 2015 11:38 pm  
Just watched the highlights, were Salford even trying ? When Championship clubs play Super League sides, they either have to score 'cracking tries' or 'scrape a try in the corner'. Not Bradford on Sunday, so many scores were just 'walk in's. I am pleased for the comp that Bradford won, but 7 days earlier, Salford played Leigh like it was a cup final for you guys, and celebrated each try like it was. Guess all you have to do to be safe is beat Halifax & Sheffield, and you will have 8 points..and it showed at Odsal. Bradford beating you won't be the reason Leigh don't get 5th position, just amazed at how good you were against us, then get thrashed by a Bradford side that had only won 2 of their previous 7 games. Taking NOTHING away from Bradford, it was an outstanding result.

I take it you haven't watched Salford much this season? This is nothing new for our team at all.

I think it must be a 'Lancashire Conspiracy'.
Oh,and as Leigh are a championship side 'to score cracking tries or 'scrape a try in the corner' would have been a good idea in the second half against Hull KR or Wakefield,both Super League sides,probably.
