Can't wait for this, should be a belter.

Widnes are atrocious.

Difficult to hold your interest if your a neutral but as it turns out it wasn't a bad game.

A fair effort from both sides but Salford just a bit better

Robert Lui was superb, apart from his goalkicking.

We are shocking. No other words.

Houston deserves a red for his reaction, absolute idiot. How the original call was a yellow though is beyond me. Burke slips and is nearly at Houston’s waist before Chris makes minimal contact.

Tasi twice with the head shot, a lot worse than Houston’s, only the second given as a penalty with no yellow. I don’t get it.

the crowd figure will most likely make grim reading, never saw more than a handful of people in the ground unless the nearside stand was packed. Shame Salford couldn't have been relocated in a more central spot near public transport hubs

Yellow card was very harsh, Ref giving a penalty was bad enough.

Toronto already has twice as many fans as Salford. Toulouse, if promoted to Super League, will attract thousands more fans than Salford can.

The sooner that Salford and Widnes are replaced by Toronto and Toulouse, the sooner the British media, corporate sponsors, and the British public will start to take Super League seriously.

Staying off topic. Salford don't play in Salford, they play their home games in Eccles (Trafford), 6 miles away. If Toronto do get into SL, the fans will soon drop off, as they will lose a lot more than they win. Have you seen any of their games ? Most of them stroll around like it's a theme park, they're not even watching he game. And when have Toulouse ever had a crowd of over 2K...What drugs are you on Chorley Boy, local magic mushrooms, washed down with some cider ?
