Discuss Salford Red Devils v Warrington Wolves here.

Will be interesting to see how Warrington do in this one. They've won their last two, but not sure if that is a sign of them being back to their best, or the fact that they've played teams in the bottom 4. 

A good performance here will be a good sign for them going into the play offs.

Wire by 6

Salford to give Wire a little more to think about than throwing the ball about as in a training session last week, Castleford were absolutely terrible, if Wire go behind they lose.

A bit like our first game against Salford at HT they were well Infront but then we didn't lose. Oh sorry we shouldn't win.

Yes. Not doubting the improvement in the last 2 weeks. Just mean that this game will give an idea of how much improvement there has been with an eye on the play offs coming up

[John Drake]

Various posts removed for alleging match officials are biased or corrupt.

Yawn.

If only you knew how pathetic it all sounds to a neutral observer.

I'm getting to the point of wondering why I bother sticking these match threads up every week when they always descend into 'my team lost/will lose because the ref/disciplinary panel did this, that or t'other, wah wah wah'.

[Red Willow]

Wire win for me, the Watkins and Brierley bans are a big deal.

Edit Brierley is in 20 man squad thought he was banned?

[Segovia Carpet]

Brierley would have been.

 

Salford to sneak this one.

 

[Odsal Outlaw]

This game just got a call out during the England vs Ukraine match on channel 4

[Zilla Budgie]

Really looking forward to watching this (on the TV). I predict a Salford win by 4.

[Black Country Wire]

The way Wire have been this season could be a 20 point margin either way or anything in-between.

[Thunder Road]

No, you get splinters in your jacksy by sitting on the fence.

A quick tribute to David Watkins to kick off the coverage.

OK Harry...As a Leigh fan I'm going for Salford.

Sky and the BBC regularly announce upcoming rugby league coverage during broadcasts of other sports so, yes, pretty easily.

I meant during an England football international as you probably knew very well.

But don't let that get in the way of your petty points scoring.

I thought you'd grown out of that but never mind.

Was he tackled, did he ground it?

Apologies, I read it as surprise to see rugby league promoted in a different sport’s broadcast.

Fair enough, accepted.

[Futtocks]

Thunderstorms forecast in Salford, possibly during the match. I'm sweltering enviously in London.
