Excellent result and already looking like a vast improvement on last season.
The brand of rugby played under Rowley is expansive and exciting to watch. We got the ball out wide as much as possible and PTB felt much quicker.
Having a leader on the pitch in Marc Sneyd is worth it's weight in gold. I thought he was MOTM but I was also impressed by Brierley and a special mention to Deon Cross - a player I know hardly anything about but he doesn't look out of place in Superleague.
Our defense put in an excellent shift for the entire 80 minutes.
I know it's only one game, but this team looks very promising.

Those of us who have expressed concern over the size of our pack,will feel vindicated after watching the monsters of Catalans and Saints.Roll on the fast grounds. There's no doubt that both Saints and Catalans are going to be challenging again this season - their packs are enormous. However, I did think at times that neither team applied any 'controlled' aggression - it was more a case of ill discipline and I was surprised that no-one ended up being seriously hurt. Discipline was a major problem for Salford last season but hopefully Rowley and his backroom staff have been able to coach that out of them during the offseason. Looking forward to tonight's game. It's going to be bloody freezing but well worth it.

I think it's another decent addition who adds depth to the squad and probably doesn't command more than a modest salary.

Pretty decent addition in my opinion. He adds depth and will probably be a starter with Livett and Watkins unlikely to be fit in time for the start of the season.

I quite like both of them, but the massive Selco logo is a bit naff.
Can anyone confirm whether the sizes are accurate? Asking for a fat b*stard :-)

Reds offering Escare on loan to Championship Clubs, so far no takers due to his high wage. I'm pretty sure it's not just the high wages putting them off!

The starting line-up for next season looks pretty good in my opinion. My worry is if we get any significant injuries - we don't have that much depth in some crucial positions.

Great signing in my opinion. I don't think you can overlook the importance of having a leader/general on the pitch. He brings tons of experience to the team and he's also a great kicker.

That was my first game I've been able to attend since lockdown, and to be honest it could have been 12-138 and I'd have still enjoyed being in the crowd again.
My thoughts:
* We competed well up until the Mossop red card. That did more damage to us than it did to Leeds.
* Our right edge was getting totally battered. Marshall and Escare were completely mismatched.
* Taking 2 points when we were losing by 4 was a really stupid call. We were less than 10 metres out with a few minutes left in the half.
* The effort is there but the execution is lacking. Sadly you don't get points for putting in a good shift.
* There seems to be a lack of cohesion and organisation. Someone needs to be directing.
* Elijah Taylor is a great forward but he's going to get burnt out eventually. He can't do it all on his own.
* Escare looked decent in attack but his defense is really poor.
* Chris Atkin and Harvey Livett are consistently some of our better performers.
Cheers.

Good draw for us, but we shouldn't go in to the game thinking it will be a shoe-in.

It feels like a lifetime ago since we played a competitive match. I can't wait!

Looks like we're recruiting well and the new coach has got a full off-season to work with the team.

I'd like Danny Ward as he seemed to get the best out of London, but I can see us taking a punt on Luke Robinson and Eorl Crabtree!
