[Thunder Road]

Cas.....

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

As good a chance as any for Salford to pull off a win.  

[Forever Trinity]

Could be a close one this 

[Wakey Til I Die]

Salford to get a win on the board by 10. 

[muckymunksy]

Cas by about 26

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

At last a win for Cas, by 12.

Just read elsewhere 8 players could decline to play as the bridging load grant arrived. No idea if this hearsay or fact but the situation is very sad and not good for the image of the sport. 

[Szymala]

Always thought it had to be inside shoulder or it was an obstruction.

Kendall has now gone the other way & given the try to Ethan Ryan (fair play to Salford - but consistency ?) 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Through the legs pass was forward by quite a margin. 

 

[Harry Stottle]

How did the ref miss that forward pass from Atkin?

Nah its the camera angle, if you watched the replay it went up rather than forward   but it tracked the line on the pitch

[Harry Stottle]

Are a number of today's refs members of the Ben Turpin appreciation society 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Salford very sloppy.

Even Cas couldn't refuse so many opportunities to score.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Some of the officiating during this week's fixtures has been shocking. Today no different. Three forward passes missed within about 1 minute.

Leading to another piggy back score 

After watching all this weekend's games it seems like we've made the match officials the most important figures in the game. How long can this continue ?

Fans in the ground are hostage to the endless deliberations of the video ref...happening now as I type. 

[Harry Stottle]

I was having a laugh when I posted that picture of Ben Turpin but since then there has been two more very obvious forward passes and he has given a knock on by a Cas player when the ball was clearly knocked backwards.

Seriously the Ref should be going for an examination for the strabismus condition.

[Barry Badrinath]

Esan marsters seems to be doing the nene Mcdonald thing of just popping up any where for salford

[Barry Badrinath]

Bit of a cowards answer there

[JohnM]

It's great to see the amazing four-dimentional spatial analysts detecting so many forward passes from two-dimensional imagery. Who said we're no good at maths anymore.

I anyway, it's good to see SRD still in there fighting, with the New RFL providing every support, just as various manifestations of the Old RFL gave to Bradford over many years 

Who knows? One day, a Director of SRD could be appointed as Chair of All Things at the next New RFL.

Gotta love that Wilkin even after years playing at the highest level, and now years in punditry has no idea what the referee signal for tackled off the ball is.

A referee signal that has been the same for as long as I can remember 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Real dumb play from Shorrocks there but what's new.
