Wonderful to watch. Thanks Mr Rowley. One player made a heck of a difference today and that was Atkin - extra pivot and extra man out wide. Rowley believes that you don`t need 6 big props. 2/3 will do. By the way - Is Mr Dixon inebriated already after his promise with his Black & Tans? I am having a party,and big well done to the boys. |

18 players is a luxury. Hull KR travelled there with sixteen, many reserves and academy lads in the mix last season, and hammered them. Told you, it's easy ain't it. Taxi for Tony gaining momentum on their forum. |

Incredible performance. Ruthless stuff, and we were far from perfect. You can really see the difference between a group of players that want to play for each other and, well, whatever Hull players have. Hard to single anyone out for a great performance as they were all great to a degree. Nods to Ackers, Williams, Croft, Sneyd, and Wright who had blinders. The rest not far behind. King was the only one who's execution was a little off today, although his work rate and enthusiasm certainly made up for it. Shout out to Our League who's presentation was excellent. Great commentary, replays, and coverage. Would happily pay for more streaming services from them. |

Need to watch it back, for me the Croft hit early on when Sio had hold of Swift and he went into touch was the game breaker awesome defence.
Brierley was exceptional into the line today, Sidlow was fantastic, Ackers and Atkin brilliant. Too many to mention.
Hope Jack Olmondroyd is ok, he landed badly when he broke through and was tackled, then Fatty Taylor had to flop on him clearly in pain. He was walking off but I hope he's well because him and Dupree were immense first half. Only negative is passing to King when he is not expecting it, just take the tackle Tim.

Great performance. I backed us to win but not by that score. I do think we'd have won at Warrington last week with better refereeing and Hull were poor against Catalan.
The spine was much better and more consistent today. Passing was slick and the timing of passes and runs in the outer channels were spot on. We made some great breaks and our support play was brilliant across the park, every was pushing up.
Ackers is the best nine in the league right now. I felt really sorry for him in the World Cup as I couldn't believe MM wasnoikced ahead of him and even worse that Radley was used as a rotational hooker instead of him. 1, 6, 7 and our three-quarters were good.
All the forwards played well, Wright and Watkins worked tirelessly. Big raps to Atkin - much smaller man playing in th emiddle of the park, which he does, but not usually for 80 minutes. He defended well and added some zip to our attack. I also thought Sidlow played well, he has three good offloads in their territory.
Still a few bits to work on but they are obviously small things. I think our attitude this year has been great other than the second half agiant Hull KR and we will reap the rewards.
Really pleased we cleaned up on penalties today. The few other things I'd like to see us tidy up are:
King needs to get back to what he does best and just pump his legs. I'm not saying don't offload but the two he threw today should never have been thrown. He's been a little shaky this year in that regard but I still like him.
We were still guilty of over-playing at times and need to be smarter at certain points of the game where we give the ball back to the opposition unnecessarily. Sneyd alluded to being smarter in the post-match, though he himself was guilty of throwing a terrible pass that ended up out of play. It was second tackle and we were 18-4 up at that point (I think).
I thought the three tries we conceded were pretty poor and I'm sure we'll learn lessons. First one, we got stretched on the outside shoulder and seemed to be lacking a player on that side of the PTB. On the try from the scrum I think we were too agreessive and compressed which let them catch us flat footed with space outside. The Fash try we really poor, King was caught looking inside.
We seem to be hitting our straps earlier this year and I think that's down to not having so much change to our starting 17. I have a lot of confidence in the team and our chances of finishing in the top six. We can put any team to the sword on our day and we have a great attitude and willingness to work across the park and for each other.

Yes agree re King, seemed off the pace a bit, but Sidlow looked the part
What an amazing win and even considering we didn’t complete lots of sets at times. The spine unbelievable and Atkin playing as an old fashioned loose forward from minute 1; great match.

Agree about Atkin. Thought he was superb. Proper unsung hero stuff.

Yes interesting re Atkins, we nearly always towards the end of a match go from 3 middles to 2 middles and a loose forward…wonder if Vinty Karalius can make a come back?

Oh yes. Just watched the game properly. Fair play to Kendall then
That 10/15 minutes after half time was ridiculously good by salford. The set between the first and second tries was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Glorious rugby
