I see that informative and constructive RL debating is back now the season has started. Great stuff

Salford very poor 1st half.Forwards who looked so good last week had no go-forward at all,poor kicking game and nothing on attack,no dummy-runners etc,just one-man stuff.Big improvement 2nd half when we bossed the game for long periods and looked a decent team.Defence in the 2nd half was very good apart from the two soft tries.

Although disappointed,lets not forget that Wakey won at Wigan and performed well at Leeds,and that we matched them for long periods in the 2nd half.Big difference was Brad Drew,he ran the show.You could argue that had he played for us we might have won.

Anyway on to Cas and lets play for the full 80 this time.

Far too many penalties conceded first half, don't know if some of that was down to Ian Smith being a bit harsh, but kicking game was very poor, credit to Wakefield who defended well and just seemed to be in the faces of Salford. I thought our big pack would grind them down, but they didn't and some silly mistakes, knock-ons, and bad decision making all added to a very disappointing afternoon out added to the total lack of atmosphere at Belle Vue, at times you could almost here a pin drop!!!



Just hoping for a big improvement next week against Cas

I remembered - you were garbage last year when we spanked you in the cup at your ground (resembles a 's paddock) and you were garbage again today. The Walrus has achieved consistency since he took over.

FWIW Salford worked hard today and never gave up, it will take the team a while to settle and you will improve as the season goes on.



Chins up and good luck.

some great offloads from your lads today, really had us on the backfoot, with only our great scrambling defence keeping you out! Think we definately have one of the best defences in teh league at the moment so against a weaker side, you could rip them apart (ala celtic). Plenty of positives

Welcome back

we was in control in the first half and like you said was in salfords faces, second half I personally thought that there was more time in the tackle which slowed us up, but I can live with that as long asit goes both ways to keep the game flowing.



Belle Vue can be a quite place and I expected more of a crowd today, you can make of it what you think but clubs find it very hard to play there, soulless as one of you have said

well we both have to agree that the sooner we get the new stadiums the better, thanks for all that came today and for the impeccable minutes silence, looking forward to our return to the willows and good luck with the rest of the season

Mark Henry looks suspiciously like a centre to me ...



Cashmere reminds me of Cartwright a lot.



Smith had a bad day at the office but was made to look stupid by Sibbit on several occasions.



Parker impressed in the second half with leadership and passion.



Worst of all, the burger stall had no peas (the only thing worth visiting Wakefield for) and charged £3 for chips and curry sauce!

Plus points Stapo,Myler,Big Phil,Parker,the horse .

Minuses Wilshere,Talau,Smith,Henry,Sibbit

I am still to be convinced by Cashmere I hate to say it but he is starting to look a lot like Korkidas to me (some may take that as a positive but I definitely dont)

The lack of creativity when we had 6 repeats sets was worrying.

Still it is only our first game against real SL oppostion and there was a lot to positive about in the second half.

The less said about the first half the better

NOW THAT IS A BAD MATCH! these are the teams we should be beating whats is going on! We need to play the ball alot deeper than what we are doing! And stop but fance snap and goes in let just go back to basic and then work on these tricks!

You need to stop trying to slow other teams down to Div 1 speed then it was a joke today I couldn't believe how Smith allowed you to mess in the ruck.
