YESSSSSSSSS

[Fevrover]

Great win for the long suffering Salford fans,44 years is a long time for a win at Saints.

[GeordieSaint]

Well done Salford. Great win. Excellent ball movement with the extra man - blew the Saints tank. Enjoy the win. 

[Waynebennettswinger]

Credit to Salford, records are there to be broken. Poor decisions from Saints players at key moments. 
What Rowley does with the resources he has is remarkable.

Tim Laffai is a handful. 

[Exiled red]

Get in.

[JohnM]

Brilliant night for the underdogs. First Leeds, now Salford.

[bobbruce]

Well done Salford they certainly play the game the right way and just wore Saints down in the end.

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

Today is the day.

[StandOffHalf]

Nice movement and clinicality from Salford. Glad for them.

Lafai's slipped ball out the back to his winger was silky execution.

Has Pyke seriously just confused Nene MacDonald with Chris Hankinson ?

Terrible commentary and coverage all round - keep saying all games live if it's not the main game pictures are terrible

Coverage was rubbish constantly getting Salford players mixed up.

Wilkins should not commentate on saints games such a sycophant. 

[Exiled Wiganer]

Brilliant comeback from Salford. They perfectly managed the game. 44 years! That is an extraordinarily long time between drinks. I think we have at least 9 teams whose games against each other will be high quality this year, with FC having the potential to make it 10 on paper (with due respect to the Broncos and Cas).

'Salford City Reds'. FFS Wilkin.

He and Amor should be nowhere near commenting or summarising on any Saints game, Sky are just showing their complete and total amateurish ways by having either of these died in the wool red vee stalwarts on Saints games.

Will someone tell Wilkin that we are NOT the 'City Reds'.

 But you probably were before he started drinking all that coffee he is brewing in his shops!

[Fata Sini]

Fantastic win for us after 40 odd years. Odd if saints fans begrudge us that but I'm sure they won't.

[Zilla Budgie]

Wow, congratulations Salford!

Saints by 30.

Your Salford predictions are more performance art than prediction aren't they?

[WN83]

Great win by Salford. The job Rowley is doing and the way guys like Brierley and Sneyd are stepping up is something to behold. 
 

As for Saints, I’ve only seen snippets of them before tonight. They’re a handful in the middle but they still don’t look hugely threatening when they move the ball wide. There’s a definite lack of pace in the side. On the plus side, it’s good to see Lewis Dodd finding some confidence/form. 

[DG70]

You simply have to take your hats off to Salford, always down off the pitch but won't be browbeaten on it, clearly the coach is one of the best in the SL given what he has to work with, you just have to admire the club, given all the adversity that goes with it.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Wow! There's a nice surprise to wake up to when I'm miserable waiting for my taxi to work! 

[Rugbyleaguesupporter]

Saints do remind me a bit of Penrith, but I like that new tackle laws have encouraged off loading. 

Percival with brain explosion, Saints would have probably won 28-10 ish without it 

Enjoyed Pyke and Wilkin but production need to show coaches less and much fewer replays during live play. 

[Faithful1865]

I usually have a quick look at all three games to find where motor mouth Wilkin is operating then ignore it. Works well and improves the spectacle.

[meast]

Excellent win for Salford is that, nice one

Totally agree re Coaches and replays.  What is the point?
