So Salford fans have spent 3 years moping and sulking about Watson then forgot it all after 1 game?

I think the proof will be on Sunday, I expect no anti Watson sentiments and nothing bull well wishes for Ian and Huddersfield from the Salford faithful on Sunday then  

Dear, dear Meast, you've been suppin too much bitter down at The George Hotel, that other Huddersfield success story.

As an exiled Salford fan living abroad now, I think it was his 'having unfinished business at Salford' statement the day before he announced on live TV that he was the new Giant's head coach that caused all the angst. I'm sure that all Salford fans, me included are grateful for what he did at our club. We still like to beat him, mind.

No bitterness from me dear, tongue firmly in cheek.

I actually don't mind Salford but some of their fans are a bit weird and knobby.

Plus, the George closed down a decade ago

Interesting match up this Hudds the bigger pack, Salford more quality in the backs, Ian who??

Ian Blease?

[DG70]

Ackers and Lafai both out is a massive blow, quality in depth a big problem for Salford.

Early score for Fartown, Ash Golding in

[johnh1]

Commentary dreadful on Radio MCR. Salford leading 8 - 0 apparently (I wish). Anyway, penalty to Salford at last and Wright goes in. 4-8.  Ktc

Salford 6 Huddersfield 14 after 38 mins, Connor just set up a try for Naiqama via Pryce.

Salford try to Wright with Sneyd conversion, Hudds tries from Golding and Naiqama with three Russell conversions.

According to Trevor Hunt it was Naiqama who scored Hudds 2nd try. He's probably wrong though. Chamberlain (of Leigh) is playing for Salford apparently.

Decent half from us, can't rest on this though need to keep at it, this lot never make it easy for us.

Yep, I've changed it now but the BBC have it as Trout.

[Old Frightful]

Will Pryce struggling at the moment.

Salford intercept but the ball is knocked out by Hudds but Salford keep possession relieving them of a load of pressure.

[Old Frightful]

Costello in for Salford after a penalty and repeat set, ktc.

[Old Frightful]

Sneyd hits the post from touch,

Salford 10 Hudds 14.

[Old Frightful]

Russell pen,

Reds 10 Hudds 16.

[johnh1]

Salford have now got Aitken and Nixon playing for them. Embarrassing for a Salford commentator.

 

[Old Frightful]

Hudds in again,

Reds 10 Hudds 20.

[Old Frightful]

Russell with his fourth conversion,

Reds 10 Hudds 22.

Trout now has two tries apparently...

[Old Frightful]

Croft gets a penalty after a kick through, Radio Leeds suggesting he milked it.

[Old Frightful]

McQueen over to make it look a bit easier than it perhaps was.

Reds 10 Hudds 26, ktc.
