I was impressed by our defence, just need to keep up to and improve on it as the season goes on. however we let the Wigan acting half back to much room around the PTB.

very impressed with Ben Gledhill

If we can attack like wigan did with sweeping back attacks, which worried us every time but good scrambled defence saved us

Overall very pleased with our performance ( thought we were going to get thumped 50-0)

thought we were going to get thumped 50-0)



So did I...Sick I didnt go now.But just couldnt face another Wigan thumping on a wet and windy night......

Really pleased with the performance last night. I wasn't expecting a close result before the game if im honest, but now im riding on the wave of optimism for the new season.



It finally looks like our team is finally getting some fluidity with the backs and forwards being on a similar wavelength.

Feka playing well is brillinat to see, we missed some of his bulldozing runs last season, and we need someone to get the yardage in now Cashmere has gone.



I've been impressed by Moon also and think he has settled in really well recently.



Our good perfromances over the last two games, when put against Castlefords hammering by Wakefield the other day, leads me into our opening game with huge hopes for a win...



I've even managed to talk family members who have never been to a rugby game, yet alone a Salford game into going to Barton to watch the opening game.



COME ON SALFORD!

He's just turned 22. I though him and Feka were immense. The hit him and Holdsworth put on Mossop was brilliant. Spoke to him afterwards and he said he really enjoyed himself against class opposition.

Hopefully he will get a run out against his old team Cas.

It may be a little unfair to single out one player after such a wholehearted display of unity,togetherness and working for each other as we witnessed,but it would be worth the admission money alone if Ben can reproduce

the debut in Stobarts Super League for Salford that he did for Wakefield.

Big well done to the supporters in the South Stand for their vocal encouragement.

As has been alluded to - pride back in abundance !

Now for the peaks and troughs of the months ahead.

My comment on Ben Gledhill was on reviewing the young bucks and no reflection on a very good team performance

well im happy with the performance on tuesday night, the players seemed very focused on the job in hand, both in attack and defence there seemed to be a zip about the play which is good to see.

There were some negatives like our inability to clear our lines, nothing to do with our creativity or know how but simply arnt big enough in the forwards to march us up the field.



The effort was there to see from the boys but we need simular efforts and maybe even more in every game this season if we are to build a platform for our backs to do some damage.



Thought Smith was good again, asking questions of the wigans defence making them hold their line before releasing the ball is a skill he seemed to have developed over the off season no dobt helped by Long

Thought Feka was good again, got spotted in attack a lot but after his heroics against Halifax i presumed that Wigan would do a job on him, defensively i though he was outstanding which is a weird thing to say but wigan threw a lot of heavy traffic at him to tire him out and he didnt wilt under the pressure.



I also thought Adamson had a better game than normal, in attack he ran over a few wigan forwards which is a bit of a unusual occurance, hopefully if he continues to show a bit more in attack he will go to the next level imo



Nobody had a bad game and its good to see improvements have occured



It was also good that a bit of an atmosphere got going second half in the south stand, like a "micro-shed" 1st time id been in and its not too bad of a view, its not very steep but its not the worst view in my opinion.



Lots of positives for Tuesday to take to Castleford

The Wigan coach is lived,and they won,ours is full of the joys of spring.And we lost.He is sure to get a contract

extension,that is just what we want.someone with high expectations,come back Matt.all is forgiven.

I cannot find where it is written or said that the Wigan coach is livid - he just asks for a better performance against Leigh than he saw on Tuesday night.It may,of course,have been due to the application of the Salford players that restricted the performance of Wigan.

I haven't seen any interview with Phil Veivers where he is 'full of the joys of spring'.He has seen an improvement,just as many others have,and I believe his interview shown on the official website has him expecting better by Round 6.

Matt Parish may have made some good signings.Time will tell.

Matt Parish = Perfectionist and will not be happy untill that is acheived. Phil Vievers = a players coach more inclined to be there for them and praise a defeat. I for one know what I'd rather have....



Whilst perfection would not of been acheived with current playing staff, he certainly told a few home truth who shocked people and Vievers will no doubt take the credit from Mr Parish's words of wisdom that asked certain professional players to look in the mirror.

What a heap of cr@p - So whatever Phil Vievers does it's only as a result of what Matt Parish said?



Let's wait & watch the season unfold - I've watched Mr Vievers' post match interviews and as far as I can see he is realistic, wants the best performances that his players can give and IMHO will be good for Salford.



I just cannot understand the mentality of people who appear to want us to fail.
