Please stick to discussing the match in question and do not accuse match officials of being biased or corrupt or you run the risk of being immediately banned from the forum.

I am going for Salford because of their excellent kicking game, I’ll go Salford by 7. They are a great side to watch. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Saints by 30.

[Chris22]

A home match against Salford is one we should be winning. I've been impressed by Salford so far. It won't be anything like the pre season friendly, but I think we'll win by about 16 points.

An away win against Saints hasn't happened for, I think, 44 years. It will happen one day. Today might be that day.

[Red Willow]

19th Jan 1980 was the last away win at Saints. Tells you all you need to know about the  game

'Salford City Reds'. FFS Wilkin.

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Come on Reds

[GeordieSaint]

Another good Saints try. Cracking line from Percival. 

[WSCR]

Wish that Sky will please dispense of Wilkins services asap.

[JonNgog]

Salford really struggling to contain Saints down the middle.

[GeordieSaint]

Entertaining game. Both sides happy to use the ball. 

14-6 HT

That was an insane decision.

This ref has sent a Saints player off (rightly) and is now having a massive panic.

[johnh1]

He had no choice. The video ref told him to send him off.

Bloody hell, we've had a player sent off and we've still got the ref in our pocket. We can't win.

A bit like the obvious missed obstruction before Percival got sent off. 

[johnh1]

FFS Wilkin. We are Not Salford City Reds.

[Just Browny]

Salford's game seems to be based on miracle passes, which seems a bit odd even when they land one because their wingers are both slow.

I had forgotten that an obstruction made smashing someone in the head fair game.

Point out where that was stated.
