Very early days in this tie but it’s looking likely we will be playing Leeds, based on last night you would think we should be confident of the win but Leeds are finding ways to win under Smith and they hammered us a few weeks ago without looking that great. A couple of months ago I thought it was a banker for us and Saints in the final but it’s potentially going to be the 2 form teams playing away in the semis and I certainly wouldn’t write off Salford if they get through and play Saints.

Wigan Salford.

RG called it a few weeks ago.

No Croft next week is huge and a massive boost for Saints

Croft failed his HIA ruling him out for next week. Certainly changes the complexion

Huddersfield have been abysmal today, as poor we were last season.
That said, Salford clearly the better team and fully deserve a semi final place.

Well, he is terrible. By contrast, I think Hicks did a pretty good job this afternoon.

What an absolute clown. Don’t let your rose tinted glasses get in the way of a good story.

hes not wrong though

Child was the wrong appointment for the play offs. Last week was his first game back after being stood down for 6 weeks following the officiating shambles in the Leeds/Wigan fixture at Headingly.

He simply isn't good enough for play off or semi final rugby. His appointment to the C Cup final was an utter disaster especially after his abysmal game in the Cup Semi. His appointment to last night game was even worse. He proved it by only refereeing one team.

Don't disagree. The much-maligned Hicks is a much better ref.
