All it would've taken was for Minns(?) to have held down Evalds after that break. Taken the sin binning, take the penalty, allowing time for the defensive line to be set to face one final tackle.

Instead, he jumped off him allowed a quick play the ball and Salford had a defence in disarray to run at.

Or not buy the dummy that led to the break in the first place. Think Minns will be having nightmares about Josh Griffin

As a Salford fan I am happy with the outcome, however in the cold light of day the games needs seriously fixing. It cannot be right a club like HKR can be left in the state of near collapse.
The rugby league have used & promoted the games by marketing it as the million pound game! how about putting some of this back into HKR to at least allow a level playing field because if we are not careful before too long a team going down will go under, I believe with us Salford we may have been on the brink if we had lost.
I know I cannot comprehend how you guys must feel, with 5 minutes to go I thought it was over.
Finally I would like to wish you all the very best & should you be able to keep Tim Sheens you will have a top coach as well as a top bloke.

good luck

They'll be putting in around £800k won't they?

Depends if the fans have the appetite to buy a pass for a season without a derby. What were FC averaging before 2007? Just going on memory. Seem to remember a big increase for FC when we gained promotion.

more then you will ever get .fc will be fine without you

Minns had moved to the wing when Cockayne went off.

It was Horne who waved him through....twice.

This has been coming since Justin Morgan left. Poor coaches who couldn’t lay down a game plan or motivate the team. Poor recruitment since the likes of Vella; Newton and Galea. Players coming with injuries and on excessive salaries. Lack of depth in the squad due to having to pay one individual an excessive salary to sit on the side lines. That salary would have paid for three possibly four decent quality players. A team with no spirit; no passion; no pride in the shirt; no will to win; tactically naïve and poor quality players; no defensive ability; coaches with no plan B let alone C and D; recruitment of outside backs when the world and his friend knew that we needed were forwards and a specialist full back; poor discipline both on and off the field; and finally a pre-season that was nothing short of a joke that should have set the alarm bells ringing. After Wembley I thought that we had reached rock bottom; but no. And every time I think that we are finally as low as we can possibly go these players and coaches take us even further down. And regrettably I don’t think we are at rock bottom even yet. I personally don’t blame Peacock as the rot had set in long before his appointment. Tim Sheens has a monstrous job on his hands; it will be interesting to see who comes and who goes and that includes Webster!

Kind words without a hint of patronising, thanks.

We will be alright, the troops are rallying as we speak.
