Sat 22nd Feb: SL: Salford Red Devils v Leeds Rhinos KO 15:00 (SS+/SL+)

[Mark S]

Why no penalty for moving playing the ball about 10 meters from where the Leeds player was tackled and then pushing the marker?

[EagleEyePie]

A successful captain's challenge! Those are as rare as 1-0 victories.

[DoubleD]

Great tackle from Lumb on Ronald

[MZH]

Salford have been rotten.

[tiffers]

Improvised finish. Hardly textbook but solid effort. 

[Hopie]

Lovely stuff from Ash Handley, well timed run, control with the foot and nice pick up to finish.

[johnh1]

Ball ripped out by Leeds. Not given.

[Harry Stottle]

Chris Hill needs to come and dit on the couch with me. 

[EagleEyePie]

How did the ref conclude there was no penalty to Salford there? The marker just cleaned out the dummy half before he got the ball.

He can still do his Chris the Redeemer pose whenever he plays the ball.

How long do you wait for the dummy half to pick up the ball? Genuine question.

[Exiled Wiganer]

You could tell that, while enjoying breaking through and scoring the try there was a part of Bentley that regretted not having a chance to get into a fight as he did so.

You don't have to wait at all, you can pick up the ball yourself, but you can't tackle someone who doesn't have the ball.

[LeytherRob]

Might not be as overtly punchy as they used to be, but Paul Rowley's teams continue to have absolutely shocking discipline.

A bit of Netflix and chill? You dark horse Harry

[johnh1]

Leeds off side? Surely not.

[DoubleD]

Is there a worse defensive full back than Jake Connor? No pace and can’t tackle. 

Has he ever made a last man tackle?

I must have led a quite life or you two have some misgivings, not a clue what you are on about?

You might be right. He's really a 6 but he may no longer last a full game defending in the line. He's ripped Salford to pieces today though.

This could have been a really close game, shame all those other SL clubs unsettled all of Salfords big names ........

[Archie Gordon]

Really pleased that our great friends from Salford got stuffed.

[Harry Stottle]

Salford done their plus/minus score good today, currently sitting on minus 106.

Realistically though the Salford troubles have seemingly effected the players more than was envisaged by the coach.

[Bull Mania]

That's a fair win from Leeds. It was all set up for a Salford victory. Us against the world, New dawn, fans buzzing etc

Leeds lost Croft & Smith in the first half.
