Salford City Reds v Crusaders RL- 2nd April 2011 : Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:25 pm  

Discuss the game here.........
I think it will be a very interesting, with the addition of Cahill, Hanbury and Winterstein to the squad. Salford will be looking to get a 3rd consecutive win. It will be a very close game! Im going for Salford 20-28 Crusaders. Sammut (2), Hanbury, Cahill and Mellars with the tries.

Yes you will be favourites no doubt. Hopefully with the fact that the 3 that have been stuck out in Aussie land are back, this will give the lads a boost. We can win this if we turn up and start well. If not we could be on the end of another mullering. Best of luck to you guys too!

I agree. Think this will be a close game. Your new boys will either come into the team and galvanize it, or come in and look a bit lost without 'gelling' with the rest of them. Salford have been perfect examples of this so far this season. A lot of new faces mean that we have only just started to gel, and not a moment too soon.

You've been our bogey side for quite a while, and I do think Salford are aiming to change it tonight.

Good luck, and here's hoping to a great game!

Very well said. I think this is going to going one of two ways:

-A fast flowing game, with a lot of plays down the wing.

-Or a game with a lot of unforced errors, when the defence is the main concentration.

Well done on your win. You seem to have a hold over Salford!

Why couldn't Cru have defended like that in the intervening six games? They really showed determination and drive. Once they get some confidence going they should be a tough team to beat, which is exactly what they looked like in Cardiff.

Glad Cru have secured another win and finally rid themselves of the minus points.

Sad that the win has come the week before we are due to visit though! That makes the whole idea much tougher than it was originally looking!
