Discuss Salford Red Devils v St Helens here.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Saints by 12.

[Saint Toppy]

Close game on the cards here I reckon. Salford have named a pretty strong squad while Saints have brought in 7 youngsters, resting key players like Coote, Grace, Lomax, Roby, Taia, LMS & Knowles 

[Hela Wigmen]

Salford by 18. The brainless get their “meaningful game” as a Salford win will put them on a points percentage with Cas, so if we end up with this absurd eight team play-off, they could be in. How exciting. 

Looking forward to seeing our young players, hope they go well. 

[Futtocks]

Kick-off - let's have a look at these St Helens kids, then.

[wilsontown]

These kids are holding their own so far.

[Red Willow]

Salford are knackered, 

[welshmagpie]

Salford are indeed shattered and severely error strewn as a result.

[Futtocks]

Pauli Pauli gets Salford on the board on the stroke of HT, and Inu converts for Salford 6:10 St Helens.

[redjonn]

Yep, Salford have been poor but as people say they are knackered.

BTW - Do the commentators of the game get a bonus for how many words then say... as they do dribble on... its painful...

[Segovia Carpet]

Bias or what?

Very rarely... they suddenly comment on something as if waken up by their dribble ending...

The first 20mins or more was really a Graham and Walmsley show against Salford... almost everything went through them... with a couple of penalties to top it off... 

[johnh1]

Yes, but Saints have played a lot of games recently!

4 of 17. 23%. It’s a young side. 

It makes a nice change from Pie Sports TV with Clarke, McDermott, O’Connor and Carney. 

[Clogiron]

Surely there most be some law against playing Pauli Pauli for the entire first 40 mins after playing big minutes a few days ago, the poor lad looks Kna**erd, it's a cruelty issue obviously, he will be a shadow of his former self literally if this continues.

Consideration for Pauli's, I'll get onto the WWF about it.

[Phil]

Salford could sneak this if they can reduce their errors 

[GeordieSaint]

Oh dear... the poor lad! 

[wilsontown]

Dropped it.

[Futtocks]

Must be quite dry on the pitch, because that really popped out when he tried to slide over.

[wilsontown]

Where'd he think he was going there?

Did he think he was already in the in goal area? 
 

he’ll laugh about it one day, but definitely not today.

Was referring to the Saints lad steaming up the wing only to inevitably get smashed into touch, but I see what you mean...

To be fair, he probably thought running at Sarginson rather than stepping into Pauli Pauli would be a better option...

... he thought wrong! 

[Rupert Prince]

First job of a winger is to catch the ball!  Salford have had their chances.
