Discuss Salford Red Devils v Widnes Vikings here.

[Krzzystuff]

the Widnes Carps will stick true to bottom feeder form and make it 18 on the bounce.

[Eleftherios]

Salford by 12.

[Davo5]

Comfortable Salford win.

[Oxford]

If SRD are favourites I'm really worried!

[westlondonfan]

Salford to win but this is an interesting match in terms of how the final places pan out. If Widnes lose that is going to give Toronto, London and Toulouse a lot of hope in terms of getting to the MPG at the absolute minimum.

[John Boriston]

 It’s important that Salford to turn up in the right frame of mind, respect the opposition and play professionally with 100% effort, after that I don’t care what the score is, I will just be happy if Salford scrape through by just the odd point.  What I don’t want is for Salford to be the surprise Middle 8 losers this coming weekend undoing all the good work at HKR.

[Jacko45]

Salford by 19. Widnes are terrible.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Salford by 20.

[FearNothing]

Salford, but by how much depends on what kind of fight Widnes put up.....  I can see the first 20 mins being a right tussle.

I know what you mean, particularly now that the Nostradamus of Chiswick has predicted a comfortable win for Salford.

The only certainty in this game is that the post-match discussion - if such it can be called - on here will be about the attendance rather than the action.

Football and racing on tv and Salford City FC at home to Chesterfield. All the local amateur teams are also playing and I know quite a few Salford fans who would rather play than watch. The Salford fans who will be there, and I may well be one of them this week, will be loud, proud and passionate and I hope they are cheering happily at the final whistle.

I know the Chronicler of Chiswick by the way and he's a real nice bloke but doesn't like Salford after bad experiences at the Willows. Must have been tough for him to predict a Salford win but at least it's an honest opinion.

Well it keeps'em off the streets!

Salford to win by 20+. wider issue for Salford if they stay up is they will more than likely run into the same problems next season as they have had this,especially if they cannot keep hold of players such as Hastings and Lui.

[Kayakman]

Salford by 14...playing well the last few matches.

[Loiner]

After the way both teams performed last week,easy win for Salford + 24.

[The Future is League]

Can't see beyond a Red Devils victory by 14

[doc]

If Widnes want to stay in SL, they really need to get their act together. Unfortunately I can't see it happening just yet. But you never know!    

A deluded Widnes by 7.

Huddersfield played last night, everyone else's poor crowds are justified, that's how it works

I'll be out of intensive care on Tuesday.

Fans don't think so sadly. What's the point if paying fans don't give a stuff?

Massive game for the survival chances of both teams. But that doesn’t remove the fact that they are both at the bottom and served up a lot of rubbish throughout the season. We both know RL fans don’t watch losing sides.

I’ve only seen him twice but Ashall Bott looks a player.
