Discuss Salford Red Devils v Catalans Dragons here.

[Cw25]

Salford 22-34 Catalans

[Father Ted]

If Catalans get some of their spine players back they could win this with some to spare. If they don't have them back then they'll struggle. Reds 20 Catalans 22.

Salford have what it takes when it clicks, which it certainly hasn't been the case of lste.

Cats have a few missing but possess all the basics in abundance.

Couple of scores in it for the Dragons.

Shifting the kick off back is a crazy decision &  will hit the attendance & result in sub 4k.

Moving the kick off will probably increase the crowd. Cats won't bring more than a handful and the football fans can attend and watch the final later. Also means the alert will be at half time.

Would you really expect more than 4K against a team not expected to bring any fans?

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

I've voted Salford but if Catalans win I think I might have done that in error and will change it.

[Pete Grady]

Defo a Salford win Guido!

I would have guessed a crowd around that mark would be feasible given the recent wins, depite below par performances, & predicted good weather with no football to compete with.

I’m pretty sure a crowd of around 4k will be announced no matter how many are actually inside the stadium.

[Red Willow]

Oh look another thread about crowds without a mention of the 2 teams playing each other.

How about this thread is just used for the outcome of the game, there must be hundreds of other threads about attendance.

Disn't you argue that moving the kick off would increase the crowd whilst not discussing the outcome?

Agreed - its every Salford thread 

[johnh1]

Salford leading 14 - 4 at half time.

[johnh1]

16 - 10.    30 mins left.

[johnh1]

All Catalan in 2nd half. Hammering away at the Salford line. Still 16 -10.

[johnh1]

Fabulous defence. About 5 consecutive sets on the line. 16 - 10.       3 mins left.

[johnh1]

Cats knock on. Ignored by the ref and Cats score. Kick missed from nearly in front. Salford win 16 - 14.

Showed some minerals there!

[tonyXIII]

Fantastic result. I personally, didn't believe we would. I should have more faith.

[Gavin Harrison]

Sounded like Salford really put a huge defensive shift in.

Bit of controversy at the end & a huge missed conversion.

Relative to last season they are way aheqd on points, so if & when it clicks  & the full squad is available, they are really well placed to make serious challenge in CC & SL.
