Liked Ackers since we saw him play for Toronto against Widnes at Newcastle and started a fan club

What was lolohea doing. 

It's funny, I say that frequently when I watch him!

The Totally Wicked go to the Totally Wicked next week.

Should be a cracker too!

[tonyXIII]

Absolutely made up. Well done, boys!

I should have more faith

[johnh1]

Well played Salford. On to Saints next week.

If the Salford pack can get any sort of parity  next week they have the ability to cause Saints plenty of problems.

Salford are favourites for me Saints should have a couple back but I think Percival is still borderline and there are big doubts over Walmsley.

If SL use that you really should get royalties.

Salford are this years Hull KR last year for me, great to watch, play entertaining RL. Hopefully Croft is fit for the next match as he could be the difference for them.

Actually, does the fact he missed the rest of the game now mean he has to miss next week?

Bradford 71 Hull 0 in 2005

And I was there, even longer than Stephen Kearney.

   Ackers sold more dummies for the last try than Boots do on a busy Saturday.

I think he’s automatically ruled out of the Saints game for failing a hia.

This Salford side is different gravy, will take some stopping.

[The Phantom Horseman]

I've never warmed to Rowley since his days of coaching Leigh, but fair play to him, that Salford team is littered with players who have spent long periods in the Championship - Brierley, Ormondroyd, Atkins,  Luckley, Cross, Dupree, Ackers. From watching those guys in the Championship I wouldn't have guaranteed many of them would have been starting 17-calibre players in a SL semi final team but here we are, he's done exceptionally well with this team.

Failed HIA, he´s out which I think will be the difference.

I edited my post to ask just that, cheers gents. That's a huge shame.

For all the plaudits they get for their attack, Salford's defence was superb today. Going to take a big performance for us against them next week even with Croft missing. Ackers, Sneyd, Taylor, all excellent.

Huddersfield were rubbish, and not for the first time on TV this year.

Enjoyable watch that though, far better than last night.

[Toby Chopra]

Comprehensive and convincing win by Salford, surely that's the coach of the year debate settled? 

Gutted they've lost Croft, they'd have had a great chance with him, will be harder now, but not impossible. Who will they bring in, Brierley into the halves or Atkin to start? 

[Old Frightful]

But, but, but...all he does is kick...

[Old Frightful]

Seeing Lolohea's defensive attempt on Ackers is one of the funniest things I've seen.

[Futtocks]

 

[DG70]

Salfotd are like a well oiled machine, despite Croft missing the 2nd half they didnt miss him, defence wins matches, can see maybe Escare coming in for him at saints.

[Ant]

Well, kind of expected that today 

Excellent from Salford, very poor from Huddersfield- as we have been for the last month or more. I'm not saying since we did the swap for King, but  you know...since then

 

Good luck to Salford next week, hope you get to OT

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Well played Salford pleased for them good club, good fans.

Still not sure why Hull let him go

[Loiner]

Absolute dross from Huddersfield, not one clue about anything. No attack or defence. Hill up to his usual antics what a grub. All the main players never got out of the changing room.

In Aus we got nothing, was meant to be on after the NRL finals on Fox League but they showed replays of the NRL finals instead
