Yes

Yeah I've had the team since yesterday, not allowed to update it until an hour before kick off. Will sort it in a minute.

Teams Updated.

A one minute silence is in effect now for Albert Halsall, former Saints prop forward and Harry Sunderland trophy winner after a hat-trick effort in the 1966 grand final.

Thanks for the update. I'll try not to read too much into forester not playing, but if he was ever going to get a game????

The match is under way with Jamie Foster kicking to the Salford team.

Nope, was always going to be the 18th man.

A great kick from Matty Smith on the first set of six is just short of a 40-20 effort.

Salford make good ground forward courtesy of Ratchford, Gibson and Patten down the left hand side. On the next play the ball is scrappy but moved to the other flank where Danny Williams goes in for the first try of the game. Holdsworth notches the extra 2 from the touchline.

Saints get a penalty after a couple of drives from the kick off and Lomax kicks forward into the Salford half. LMS then drives the ball forward to the Salford 20. A long sweeping move wide involving Roby and Wellens sees Francis Meli stopped short. Saints then get another penalty for a high tackle and can build pressure.
