9 Apr: SL: Salford Red Devils v Leeds Rhinos KO 6.30pm

[League Express]

Discuss Salford Red Devils v Leeds Rhinos here.

[Old Frightful]

What's with the 6.30pm kick off?

 

Since their good win at Cas, Salford have struggled somewhat with the 2 point win over Hudds their only success in four. Leeds have lost the last 3 since their 12 point win over Saints.

 

So two teams not in the greatest shape but I'll take the Reds in a tight one.

 

Solfud 24 L**ds 20.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leeds get the monkey off their back by 12.

[Chairman LMAO]

Based on current form, can't see Salford losing this.

 

Salford 24 Leeds 18

Some intimidating history for this losing Leeds side to live up to in this fixture: we've won 29 of the last 30 games against Salford, and the last 20 straight at Salford. The last away defeat, at the Willows, was November '93 in the Regal Trophy when Doug Laughton was coach (although he missed the game with the flu) and Robin Whitfield was referee.

More in hope than expectation leeds by 10

Reality check! Leeds to rediscover their form of last season. The slaughter of the 'innocents' (guilty?) to follow.

 

I shan't be hiding behind the sofa. Far too scary! I'll be out drowning my sorrows before the game even starts.*

 

 

*Actually, my wife and I are going out for a meal with friends.

[Old Frightful]

Well, if the results at Leeds last Friday and at Hull KR last night are anything to go by, Salford by a big, big score.

 

But that's not how it works is it?

 

Enjoy your meal Tony.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

_{Might have a flutter on this one.  Leeds to beat the -2 handicap quite easily.}

[Red Willow]

Salford haven't beaten Leeds since about 2009, can't see this being any different.

 

Will miss this game as we had pre booked to go to the Bridgewater Hall before the fixture change.

had to be moved as Sale played tonight.

Late change to the Salford 19 man squad. Tommy Lee, who was set to make an unexpected early return from injury, couldn't complete training yesterday and has had to drop out. His replacement is another injury returnee: Rob Lui. A bit of an odd one this. If Rob is fit, then surely he would have been in the original 19, His late inclusion suggests he might just be making up the numbers, although I suppose it's possible Salford were keeping him back for next week's much trickier tie at Hunslet.

Love it, hope it doesn't come back to bite you on the bum.

[Segovia Carpet]

Actually at Salford we have an Australian telephoning the RFL with the 19 names.  Luckily Lui sounds like Lee in Australianese - so we always have an option.

Is this on the radio? Doesn't seem to be on Manc or Leeds?

[johnh1]

I normally find that commentary starts right on kick off.

[johnh1]

Just started.

[Old Frightful]

Anybody found commentary anywhere please?

[johnh1]

I'm listening to Radio Manchester. No score yet.

On line it's some bloody 80's experience. 

[Old Frightful]

Radio Leeds on line is bloody Northern Soul.

 

Not happy.

[johnh1]

All Leeds at the moment, but still no score.

[johnh1]

Third repeat set for Leeds coming up. Salford can't get the ball.

[johnh1]

Great defence by Salford.

[johnh1]

Another Salford drop out under the posts. Relentless attack by Leeds
