A crowd of 3,213 is absolutly pathetic for a game between 2 heartland clubs in the premier Rugby League competition in the NH. No soccer was taking place locally, the test match was taking place in Cardiff and that finished abot 7pm. even the Crusaders got a bigger gate than this. What did Salford do to promote this game?

Ratchford was excellent tonight,when he was at Centre.
Far better there than at stand off,where he was in the way !
After they scored so early I feared the worst but Holdsworth got us back in it straight away.
Well done that man.

You lot played well but we made you look a lot better than you were. Our complete inability to hold onto the ball and also our inability to tackle helped you a lot.

Please do not feed the trolls, especially such poor quality ones.

So you think that a gate of 3,213 is acceptable for a heartland club when they play another heartland club, and someone who suggests its not acceptable is a troll?

Re: TONIGHT AND RATCHFORD ! : Sat Jun 04, 2011 9:18 am  

I thought our forwards were really up for it last night. There was no comparison to the Hull KR cup game, they were much more determined running onto the ball and made more ground. Bizarrely the disallowed try by Feka was a highlight, if that ball wasn't forward I don't think six wakey players would have stopped him going over. That reminded me of how he was playing at Wigan a couple of years back.

More of the same please!

The gate wasn't what we had hoped for but bear in mind Wakefield brought just 2 coaches totalling no more that 100 fans. Couple this with a few bad performances from Salford and I think 3,000 loyal fans turning up on such a hot night is better than what it could have been.

Either way it was a Salford win and with that will come a higher attendance next time out.

Getting back to the topic:

Good win even though it was riddled with mistakes but for me MOM Ratch was just out to impress. Two of his tries should have been offloaded to Broughton to make the kick closer to the sticks. I would love to see him at Salford for years to come but for me that was a performance to impress other clubs. Personally MOM would have been either Adamason, Godwin or Cashmere. Holdsworth would have been close if it wasn't for his need to create the perfect try with wild passes instead of sticking to the basics and passing to hand for a more comfortable walk over. He'll learn!

Same could be said about Holdsworth. He took the phrase "Use the touchline as your friend" to heart and kept passing to it. A win is a win though. Well played reds.

i was disapointed with the boo's he got i mean the guys kicking isnt the best at the moment but booing him isnt gonna get his confidence up.what happend to nero at bradford cos it must of had something to do with the head guard he had on.anyone got that lady physio number as seeing her in action on touchline haha

Thought it was a good performance by the team yesterday, hopefully more to come and we can aim for the top 8 it isnt beyond our grasp imo

Anyone know why a certain big prop forward from the Giants was at the Willows tonight? Can't think of a connection
