As much as I was shouting for Salford, I do think Child got the twp big calls right just before half time.

Liam Watts incident was never a sending off, but two wrongs dont make a right. When Walmsley was initially going into collision, he appeared to go in with the palm of his hand. That is legal.

nothing wrong with the collision

Lets hope Cas have left out too many players tonight and Hull get the win. If not Saints could be playing Leeds. This would be much easier for them.

From what I saw of Saints last night they will really have to raise their game to compete with Cas.

It was too much to hope for that Salford would look in any way interested in that game. Hey ho - it was good to dream!

I think that you are being a bit harsh on them Bren.
Although Saints won the game easily in the end, Salford were the better side until they had a player red carded and if anything, they just struggled to control their aggression.

Could not fault Salfords attitude last night. They were on the wrong end of the penalty count in first half that gave Saints 75 % possession.

tbf, Salford never gave themselves a chance.
you have to stay in these types of games, instead they slowly worked themselves out of it.
Saints, whilst nothing like the team they used to be, are no mugs, they know how to turn the screw without looking like World beaters, and Salford just couldn't respond with all that dropped ball and penalties.
Saints are the weakest of the final 4, I expect them to fall at the first hurdle, the codheads aren't all that either so there's gonna have to be some twisty turns for them to get anywhere.
