They reckon the hit that mago went off for hia was late Tomkins said if that was first couple of rounds it would have been red! Yes, but they're pundits looking for drama. I don't think there was anything in it TBH. |

normally with stuff like that, when they show the replay on the big screen you get a chant//groan from the opposition fans when its a bad hit. there was nothing like that last night and the players themselves didn't even appeal for it.

If you look on the HT review its there
But if Knowles can get away with his elbow into Cust then Sneyd shouldn’t even be considered.

Wow that was a frustrating last 5 mins, once again Wigan got lucky though our downfall was that stupid short drop out. Got to say the last coming in were awesome, Bourouh played unwell too. The attitude of this team is immense, add to the fact that Norfoalumo and Ryan are short of match fitness then that was some effort. I spoke to Tyler in 1873 and he was very positive about Salford almost to the point that we are hard to play against because we are unpredictable. To perform like we have done against 4 supposed Top 6 teams is very pleasing.

All as anyone can ask,is that their is effort and their is in a abundance we can go on about the last 5 minutes and the drop out he thought it was the right thing to do let's give them a bit of slack.

Let’s look at the positives from last nights game we played fantastic attacking and defending nobody expected us to put up a fight against a fresh full strength wigan side sure they was some mistakes but it’s a gamble and this time it didn’t pay off but we played with pride and we should be buying every player a drink
Also 6 thousand on a Thursday night sneyd breaks a record hats off to the club and to sneyd for amazing achievements let’s build on this and move forward

It was a magnificent effort by a team thrown together probably on Tuesday
Be good to see what Rowley does with them after a couple of months…let’s just hope players don’t get sold off again to keep the Club going

I saw the Mago incident on big screen replay and turned to guy next to me and said there's absolutely nothing in that. Am I blind?🕵️ No blinkers either I just couldn't see any contact and if there was it was an absolute minimal brush of the arm. And yup, not one Wigan fan screamed blue murder.

What a shame SRD desrved a much closer run thing at worst. And I think people need to stop scrambling around for who to blame. Give over. You don't think the players are to responsible for those last 10 minutes? It isn't blame, it's identifying areas we need to onprove. We were awesome for 70 minutes. Then lost our cool and composure as soon as they went down to 12. We did the same against Saints and that is something hat a professional sports team needs to accept, look at, and fix. Passing the ball to Atkin and being tackled on the last play when we had momentum. The ball should have gone on the ground which has been causing them problems. Getting tackled and dragged back over the line is poor. It had happened earlier and you need to be aware. Run the ball out and dive down towards their legs. Yes, the ref will call surrender and they can hold you down longer. So what? We're winning and we want the clock to run. Kicking the drop out short. Shocking decision given the circumstance. We're winning. Wigan were down to 12 men and we had been defending well. Get he ball as far away from the line as possible. Offisde at the KO. This is just unforgivable. That was out final hope of getting back possession of the ball. We were class for 70 minutes. Hardly put a foot wrong. There are loads of positives. The effort was immense, especially given some players weren't at 100% and we had players out injured. We've clearly worked on our discipline too. And, at times we look dangerous against a top defence. Plus lots of other great things... but that doesn't hide the discussion about the final 10 minutes or how we have responded to teams going down to 12 men the past two weeks. Objectively that is something the team must work on. We threw that away in the final 10. Also, more constructive criticism, we should look at how Wigan defend their edges and replicate it rather than rushing out and leaving space. Our squad it took tin to challenge for the GF. But, given how we've played this year, if we fix up that edge defence and play smarter situationally we could have a real punt at the CC and get a trophy. If we get a trophy it will be the best season I have had watching the club since 1954 I wouldn't bet on it even with your money. Also in a game their is things we can't control i e the decisions the ref makes because they are subjective like the six again a stupid rule in my opinion even free kicks it's the refs opinion so they get things wrong as I am sure we do Personally I am to engrossed in proceedings than to be looking to see if we are abiding by the rules,and lastly if Mr Kendall had last night told me it was Thursday I would have then proceeded to a calender to make certain. Because I remember the same person give Saints an helping hand in the Grand Final that they didn't need. |

...... Sneyd according to sky may get a ban though now! Why? Third man in tackle that caught Mago as they were all falling. No intent, but will probably get a ban under current rules. |

You're spot on about reffing they pick thungs up they're not generally wrong but it is subjective and sometimes it's almost impossible to see why they gave something. Quite a few times in any given game there are a few decsions that seem too picky for words.
I've said lots of times that it's not a club's discipline but what refs pick out, given that SL is a sport that in terms of the rules tends to favour those with the ball probably a little too often. This makes sides with superior and bigger squads that much harder to beat.
In their comments last night the pundits referred to Salford's discipline record but also made the point that none of it was based on maliciousness or cheating. And I think that was one of the most insightful point I've ever heard a pundit say. We have a record that's based on decisions made and alot of times at the same event and time the other side could have been penalised just as easily. I don't see refs as bent though I think the rules are slightly. The things that pleases me most is SRD as a team have learned to cope with the game's bias and still compete. I don't think refs will improve and because of our outlook we don't need them to.

Yes and above I've referred to why this happens so I wouldn't be surprised by a ban even though it's another bit of nonsense. And I'm the first to say protect the players above all. |

No Russ I was awake when we had the great team of the Snape era That team would in my humble opinion would of won by 30 Points last night. But a trophy with this squad will surpass what they achieved That's what I ment as you well know |
