[StandOffHalf]

Young Burns and Robertson are so promising and exciting.

[dkw]

Brilliant covering that.

It is not an "or" situation.

ok.  I'm open minded.  Explain to me how the actions of the referee resulted in the two fouls by the Saints players and two yellow cards.

[Barry Badrinath]

Amazing tackle 

[Futtocks]

Mbye with the match-saver!

Yep. Ritson and then an immense tackle from Mbye.

[StandOffHalf]

Nice try-saver from Moses Mbye.

Salford had parted the red sea but Moses said No.

Yes. Doesn't detract from the fact I would still like to see it though.

See what exactly? 

"If players run in they'll be sat down."

Partington ran in.

Partington got a  yellow card.

Pretty straight forward.

[Ullman]

Wow! What a finish.

[StandOffHalf]

Epic break from Bell; knock-ons both sides, with Clark diving into Watkins' leg and dropping the ball.

I'm pretty sure the ball was out before Clark collided with Watkins knee there. Not that it really matters either way, I just assumed that was what caused it initially.

[MZH]

Golden point it is then.

I hate it

[Fevrover]

Both deserve a point.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Clarke off for an HIA. Shouldn't he have gone straight off? Or did suggesting else happen?

Course they do 

[The Blues Ox]

Off the balls are now okay. 

[dkw]

How did that get over ha ha. Shocking kick.

[Futtocks]

The Saints DG scrapes over.

[Waynebennettswinger]

Salford deserve a point for that effort. 

[The Blues Ox]

Unfortunatley if the late shot on the 4th tackle gets called against Saints then Salford probably win that game. It was as clear a penalty as any in the game.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

The camera showing Cross at the end there who really should have gone for the corner when given that chance near the end of the 80 minutes. Game over with a decent winger.

[StandOffHalf]

Not a fan of GP, but that's one of the more exciting ones I've watched.

Great gather of the low, daisy-cutter kick from young Robertson who steps and makes a huge gain, followed by Walmsley. 20-year-old got them on the front foot; deservedly Homme du Match. What a kid!

Mbye is a hit and miss kicker but he guides it through with the top of his in-step, just.

Top evening's entertainment.

That shot ended up forcing Shorrocks off the field for Dudson, who then hopelessly missed the tackle on Harry Robertson which gave them the field position. Little things can make a big difference.
