Love watching Salford when they play like this. Great stuff.

[Old Frightful]

Jeez, how the f*** did we get mauled by Leigh last week?

Oh, we're ######, okay, thanks.

Salford running away with this

He’s French , like le telly

A feminine noun in frog lingo, so it's actually 'la télé'. 

[Coggo]

Best side to watch, Salford. Unlike some sides, they always ask questions of the defence with their running lines and angles of attack.

Salford do a flop and Leigh get a penalty. Leigh do it and Salford get a six again. Is consistency too much to ask?

Here you go, show us how it's done.

Brierley Homme du Match tied up and the opening half not yet over.

[Old Frightful]

Ball bounced away from him so no penalty try for me.

[Wolfey Rovers]

He kept the same running line personally, no worse than the NFL block earlier. 

[DavidM]

Out of interest why did Cust push it out

He knew it wasn't a penalty try, wanted the push checked.

So we are not even allowed to question decisions now? Okey dokey.

[StandOffHalf]

A push in the back, but Hardaker's kick is too big off the boot to support a penalty try.

Perfect reffing once again.

Early shower for Brierley and a rub down from the physio, a few slices of lemon, a handful of biscuits, and a mug of soup.

Salford home and hosed?

Difference is the shove in the back. No justification as to bracing, because he is behind the opposition player, rather than in front of him.

Two different incidents with different circumstances, therefore two different outcomes. Do the refs course and learn something.

[johnh1]

The same incident with two different decisions. Perhaps you should do the course and learn something. Why haven't you called out those who called it a block on Mellor?

The first incident was two players facing one another; the second one they were facing the same way.

It cannot be the same incident, each incident has one decision, it can't have two.

I was talking about the two flops where different decisions were made. Keep up. Anyway, back to the game.

[StandOffHalf]

I thought that was a lovely flat floated ball from Moylan. Looked fine to me. A shame to pull that one back. First time I've disagreed with a call tonight.

[Padge]

Sneyd neat feet

[StandOffHalf]

The initial short ball from Sneyd did look pretty suspect, but those short balls are fairly difficult to pick up on.

[Futtocks]

Nice riposte from the visitors!

[Padge]

Nice try from Leigh

[StandOffHalf]

Nice to get Lam and Moylan passing to one another, but the game is probably beyond Leigh.
