3 reasons : Very cold yesterday, french national RU team was playing, no suspense against Salford.

Young Fages was taken out in the incident that led to the red card and went to hospital. We were apparently playing with Owen (a young hooker) and McGoldrick who's been at the club around 2 weeks in the halves after that. With the pace and power Cats have it was never going to be an easy task. Still, with 12 men you would have hoped we could have made more of a game of it. Shows the task in front of us this season.

According to koukash, were still looking for recruitments for this year. We desperately need some forwards but at this stage finding any quality will be extremely difficult. More lashing's like this will be coming along but we need to keep the faith with the promise of better things to come.

Definitely a "keep the faith" season for Salford you feel, even more than the Bulls last year.

I hope their fans and new owner have the staying power (no doubt you'll beat the Giants around Easter like you do every bloody season)

Apparently the gate was only 6872. I know that Salford aren't the biggest draw in the world, but I thought it'd be better than that - 8158 last year.

The problem is that i sense the locals are getting bored with it,i must admit i didnt go last night having just arrived back from Moscow in the morning Salford just didnt float my boat.The dragons have come as far as they can within the current SL and really do need Toulouse in + a more competitive SL to get the fans interested again 6872 would also have included season tickets issued to sponsors many of whom dont bother to turn up so my guess is the crowd may have actually been lower.CM

time to dump the French and get more traditional clubs in the league? I think they may also need to re-evaluate their budget!! Only joking don't think many clubs will be filling their grounds with the arrival of Salford at the moment and that includes themselves after last weeks poor crowd. But things may turn around with investment!!

It's a Canetman post, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, just like the litter tray with it

Always going to be tough even with full strength quad. Taking out the only recognised half back didn't help. Hope he receives more protection next game.

This season is going to be tough for Salford but after the off season I don't care.

Sean Long raging about this on twitter - asking for a 16wk ban.
Calling it assault - I suppose hed know.

Says it was so late the receiving player had caught the ball before Fages hit,

Yes, Ant would have been much more concise if he'd described you thus.

Anyone listening to the Radio Manc phone-in? I think, by the end, we'll have had someone calling for Bousquet to be lynched! We've had more Salford fans on with a view on the incident than attend some home games.

[Red Willow]

Shirley, who was just on, was the person Theo lived with when he first arrived as a 16 year old. No wonder she was upset. Other than her and Long, I've not heard the others.

Not having a go, RW, I quite like a bit of passion.

Didn't take it as such, just hope the fans continue to support the team. It will be a long tough season but we are still here

From reports a dog shot seems this young prop is the new ferriol a thug.

[audois]

I attended the match but didn't see the incident. Bousquet is a really big young forward. Any shoulder charge on Fages from a player his size would always I think be high. I'm not a fan of it. Bousquets played a couple of seasons in the French league with Lezignan as a teenager. I cannot remember him ever been sin bined never mind being sent off. I like to think it was a clumpsy but dangerous challenge that he will learn from.
