Last night was brilliant and great to watch being a Salford fan, as some have already you couldn't pick out individuals, it was a team effort.
But Lui and Masala look two very astitute signings.

With regards to how were going to go this season you can't base it on last week as Hull are going to be a top side this year and we had 9 debutants or TBH last nights result.
It's next week against Widnes that we have to prove ourselves be consistent win convincingly and that's the foundation to build on.

I think a couple of tweaks made a big difference last night, Josh Griffin is far better at centre, Johnson has blistering pace and can finish and should start on the wing. What impressed me most though last night was the structures in place, there was nobody rushing into the line to early and there was some free flowing moves at times. Fair play to Obrien cant of been easy after last week but went well and what a beast carney is. Only worry for me is still prop, joseph did ok but I think we need better but its a great week to be a Salford fan and we should all enjoy it for a change!

Completely agree, people will say don't get carried away after one game but we have to enjoy such a magnificent night for the club.

Excellent performance.

If I was going too be hyper critical, an extra body or two in the front row will be needed if the aspiration is to reach the top 8. A little more pace too. if the club got someone with pace playing as a right centre between BMM and Carney, he would score a bucketful.

Yes we've never in history seen a Leeds player go on his own run...

Fair point I think Mcguire had a season in 2006 when he never passed the ball!
All I meant was to me it looked like some of them were looking a bit too much for themselves especially in try scoring opportunities, you could have had 60 or 70 if players hadn't looked for themselves
Might be me just looking too much into it but Im not predicting salford to fly up the league quite yet

My late uncle was a committed Salford fan all his adult life and as a result I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the club.

Just great to see a famous club which is and has been integral to the story of the game get such a marvellous and spirit strengthening win against one of the recognised big beasts in the jungle.

I hope you enjoyed the after match drinks lads.

Sorry but Im still not convinced, Salford were good tonight but to me there was still too much of players looking for themselves
there was more than one occasion when someone ran when they should have passed looking for individual glory, especially Carney
you'll just have to hope Sheens drills that out of them if you wanna get that result consistantly

I assume you are referring to the occasion when he caught the ball on his own line and ran 60+yards ?

Watch this back...and if you understand what you are watching you will perhaps see how Carney read the game and why he didn't pass earlier.

There's not much I can add that hasn't already been said. It was a fantastic performance. One very noticeable difference was the speed at the play of the ball - much better than last season. We were quick off our line and got right in the faces of the Saints defence. Lets hope we can have more of the same against Widnes.
