Salford haven't used that Lafai-Burgess wing enough in attack.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Why do so many kickers not know how/can't be bothered playing his side onside.

I think tbf his physical momentum was actually going backwards when he kicked that; no way he could have caught up with his own players.

He didn't even make an attempt, I get your point, but you see it quite often when the kicker just thinks its job done after ball leaves boot.

Plenty going on at each end, but KR are the ones converting action into points.

Fair to say you wouldn't have seen this scoreline coming at 20:15.

That's the thing with ' Rowleyball ' if you can get in front then it becomes easy , but when you're ' chasing ' you end up rushing stuff and mistakes creep in , we made them last week , it was Salford's turn this week , hopefully it's the ' angry birds ' turn next week

Sorry but you can’t appreciate the good without recognising the bad.

I agree. I appreciated a good game and recognised a bad assessment.

Thoroughly  enjoyed the game. Impressed by the skill, speed, fitness from both sides. Yes it was raggy at times but to characterise it the way you did, seems to me to be mistaken.

Great result. Those are the sort of games you need to win to be solid play off contenders. 5 day turnaround, 4 people out, it was not surprising we looked off-colour in the first half. But if you have the grit to stay in it then you know you have a real team. Eventually work your way into the game, and win out with aggressive middles running hard and a half back with proper, professional game management. 

That's proper rugby league. If you dismiss any side who doesn't perform at State of Origin intensity every single week then you'd have no sides left. As a Rovers fan I can tell you I appreciate that win tonight much more than some ones where we play brilliantly. We'd have lost that game in every single one of our previous 15 Super League seasons.

Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

This was a brilliant win for Rovers and I say that because Salford started the game ultra-confident and threw lots at the Robins. Rovers had to dig ever so deep to stay in the game but they did and after the half hour mark their superior fitness started to tell.

Rovers just wouldn't wilt but slowly and surely Salford did.

With 4 of the team that saw off Wigan in round 1 absent the bookies had Salford massive 1/3 favourites for this game and if they had known that Rovers would pick up another 3 injuries goodness knows what the odds would have been.

Rovers spanked Leeds in pre season but apparently the Loiners  were rubbish. Then Rovers beat a 'disappointing' Wigan convincingly. Now Rovers have won away to a Salford team 'not at their best'. 

Goodness with all these 'rubbish' teams in Super League Rovers must really fancy their chances.
