Sorry to be a pessimist as usual. But I will buy everyone on the Turkey a pint if we beat Hull KR (which we won't) because thats what Salford are all about! World beaters one week and a bunch of sh*t heads players the next!

Could you clarify what you mean by a pint (water/beer/spirits?) only I for one REALLY hope we beat the er-ners and this "pint" materialises...

It seams there is a simple solution to Salford's up and down form.
Don't defend. Just attack all game.

Ta da!!!


You just need a kick chase that can pin teams in goal every set and hey presto you will be putting 50 on everyone.

That's pretty much how it went on Friday night, at least for the first hour.

Seriously though, it is actually a game plan, one that Saints used to employ prior to SL and whilst it did not win us many leagues, it got us in contention and made for entertaining days from the terraces. Long term defence will have to be worked on, but that may take a change in the playing staff to bring that along. Obviously you can't just let teams have a free run, but attack does seam to be your strength so why not play to it.

I thought the new play with Patten kicking worked as obviously teams are looking for him and DJ linking from deep.

I watched that Friday and you could just see Sean Long in every attacking play.

Forget the team being broken up for me the most important signing for next season and beyond is Longy.

Personally i thought Vinnie Anderson had a stormer on friday, best game by a mile in a salford shirt, he has a lot of critics but i thought personally he was mom!!!!

I agree with this fully. Especially his half an hour or so at hooker. I actually think it was his stint at hooker that helped us to get the role on to win the game towards the end of the 1st half, start of the 2nd. His scoot from dummy half which led to Pattens first was great hooker play.

Last night epitomised why the die-hards hang in there season after season.

Weakened Warrington or not, I was expecting us to get battered, and instead watched one of those 'once a season' sublime performances.

Where do they come from? Who knows, but when it happens it's such a JOY!

.....................and yes, we'll probably be back to square one next game!!!!!
