Very naughty of Sneyd to "lime" the ball - interfering with the ball is an offense.

Hope someone has notices and has a word in his ear before he tries such gamesmanship again.

I thought that, it’s just blatant cheating. 

[Chrispmartha]

Going to get 60+ here, and theyre not even having to get out of 2nd gear, Salford look horrendous 

[Agbrigg]

This is terrible

Salford very much less than the sum of their parts again. I wonder what the new owner is thinking.

Possibly not even watching.  MAYBE - Job done by taking over the club as as condition of being allowed to develop the area, leaving the club to run themselves....badly, it seems.

As far as I can see, Sky are showing 9 live games over today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hardly taking the p**s.  Plus the Wigan documentaries, of course. 

If you were a casual sports fan looking through programme guide, you would have no idea the game was on, which makes no sense for either Sky or Superleague, especially when you are showing duplicate programmes on other channels.

Probably wondering if he's still within the 14 day cooling off period?

[OldRedEyes]

Rovers not out of 2nd gear, just turning it on when they need to. 
 

Salford aren’t this poor, something wrong at the club.

So it's not the quality of the picture and sound that's the issue. It's now something else. Only in rugby league.

Salford have been criminally slow at the ruck. When are the refs going to sort this out? 

Judging by the amount of times they’ve been penalised in this game, it looks like they are

It’s the same for any sport in the red button including football.

The biggest issue is not being able to record them or watch back full replays.

Ive bought a SL+ sub to get round it

To be fair they're probably on par for a lot of the parts involved. Only Cas look worse in the front row and that's only because Cas basically don't have any props at this point. The rest of the team is a real glass cannon, capable of scoring some worldies, but it's a collection of poor disciplined individuals and lazy defenders. The defence in the halfback/centre channels on both sides of the field is really poor.

[Szymala]

Remember when someone started a rumour linking Brierley with Wigan ? Was it his mum ? 

[Zilla Budgie]

I see a tennis match from the Chile open with a few hundred speccies is the main attraction on Sky Sports+ this evening.... Maybe I should have watched that instead....

Not enough. Seriously, it’s embarrassing. 

[JohnM]

Might be worth Salford asking if Willie Peters has a brother who wants a job as Salford coach.

Remind me (again) about the Sky Red Button option- can all Sky receivers 'do' the Red Button or are there other technicalities to spoil my Thursday night.

Just had a glimpse of the pre prepared excuses tick sheet. It’s short turnaround this week and too long between games next week

[JohnM]

Might it be worth starting a new thread specially for the Sky coverage malcontents, leaving the rest of us to recognise HKRs excellence and SRDs abysmal performance.

I made two points one was about the fact the game was hidden away when they were showing the same feed of other sports on separate channels as well as the generally poor quality of sky sports plus 

 

[daz39]

Maybe there was a Salford player who didn't play last week and didn't know the others on the bus?

You need Sky+ HD, if you don't have HD you can't get red button streams.

[Just Browny]

Often I watch ex-Warrington players (usually at Leigh) and lament them playing better at other clubs than they did at mine. 

I'm not getting that from Hill and Bullock tonight.

[DoubleD]

I love it how Kyle Amor said ‘I can’t stick the boot in to Salford anymore’ after they conceded a try about 10 minutes ago. That lasted all of about 2 minutes until he (for good reason) slates them again

[The Blues Ox]

Can't help but think Salford are trolling us here. There is no way they are serious playing like this.
