I hold my hands up I doubted he would be a prop but if last nights performance was a yard stick I'm wrong, very very wrong.

Steady on.The Walnuts have one good game in God knows how many games and now they're heroes, Good grief lets hope they've turned the corner otherwise they'll be remembered as one game wonders. Lets see how they perform through the rest of the season. One good game and people start masturbating. Gee whiz. This season is their last chance saloon anyway so its imperative they improve.

I don't think anyone is claiming the Walne's are the new Burgess Bros.

just stating he had a good game last night & credit where credit is due .

I have noticed in the preseason games that Adam Walne is running better lines.

It must be coaching ( Watson - Sheens - Morley ) , and it seems to be improving his game to the point where he is getting a bench spot over others.

still only 25, maybe there's room for improvement still

well your team did set out to blow someone away ...AND YOU DID ......St Helens !!!

Time to get behind them I think. Good Luck Salford.

Thanks for bringing my point up, last night was exactly the point I was trying to make, why exactly in the case of the original posting re: Hull set out to blow us away and we as Salford are meant to accept that, well like I said we shouldn't just accept it, we are in the same competition as everyone else and should set out to "blow everyone else away" last night we did just that and it was fantastic.

It felt great and now the real pressure is on as there's no point dining out on it and falling flat on our arses against Widnes.

I've just watched the game again, on YouTube, and George griffin and Adam walne were superb.

A great team performance.they have set the standard,they have now got to keep it up.

Re: Post match : Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:21 am  

4,386 there for that great win. It would be great - and its possible - if the sporting public of the area could be enthused to get those turn outs up to an average of 6/7,000 and create a buzz about the club. Its so important to follow up.

if we continue to play rugby like we did on Thursday, and win a few more, I'm positive the crowds will double, at least.

Last night was a great TEAM performance, and we should enjoy the plaudits coming our way for the next couple of days.

But we shouldn't get carried away (we're Salford fans so I don't think we will, its not "in our DNA"). It will be no good thrashing Saints if we then slip up against Widnes next week. We've got tricky fixtures coming up in the next month - if we beat Widnes we can go into the Wigan and Warrington games with some confidence.

I expect Sheens and Watson did not panic too much after the Hull performance and assume they won't be doing cartwheels after last night. Its about building momentum and going about our business in a professional, level-headed manner.

BTW it was good to hear our coach talking with a local accent. 'One of our own' instilling a team ethic into a group of hungry young players. Who'd have thunk it?

This.
