Sporting life shows 20-all at 76 mins they just scored to level it and kick to come

A draw it could be worse.

final score 20-20
Elima sin binned 3 minutes from time then Salford score

Final score 20 all. Take that but we owed them one after the awful home game earlier in season.

Gale tried a conversion at the death but it fell short

Final score - 20-20...We were 20-16 up with 5 mins to go until Burgess dropped the ball and gave Salford possession. A point lost.

20 - 20 unlucky not to win but one point better than nowt



Pryce ha-trick nice to hear

Well 7th in the table til Monday at least. Not too bad.

Pity we could not hold on for the two points.

Snatched a draw from the jaws of victory, proper test next week if we drop the ball and make as many penalties we will be cut to ribbons

agree, tho would have preferred 2 points as KR could cut the points gap by one by beating Cas.

My friend at game just text me point lost and burgess dropped ball at crucial point, to back up what others have just said.

Yeah but Burgess also scored our last try, so swings and roundabouts really.

Does anyone know the nature of Pryce's hat-trick? I saw he was lining up outside Lulia - has Keith had a say in his winger getting a hat-trick for the second time this season?

Cant be a point lost, we never had 16 points. Weve gained one, and Salford remain the same amount behind us. Just hope Cas do us a favour against KR. Big weekend needed next weekend though.

Didnt Burgess drop it 35 yards from Salfords line, hardly fair to blame him for them going 50 metres in 2 sets.

I'm not so sure that the Leeds game is a must win. I would expect both Rovers and Salford to lose their respective games, so if anything we can play with no real pressure of the gap closing. A decent performance is all I want, 2 league points would be a much welcomed bonus. But losing won't be the end of the world either.

A point gained. Tonights was always going to go either way so not too disappointed.

Elima's one of my favourite players, but needs to just cool it with the officials (I presumed he was sin binned for dissent as he usually likes a word).

He's an exceptionally aggressive player and we need that, he's not getting pinged for foul player, it's usually dissent, so just needs to try and cool it on that front.

Or put Tomkins on the back of the shirt as referees suddenly seem immune to dissent when he starts talking.

A point gained but important game next week.

Despite the problems, tonight's coverage was the best I have heard from bcb. Not a single 5 minute story that caused me to miss 2 tries. These two, whilst lacking a bit of knowledge, actually appeared to be watching the match. Not sure what happened to the usual pair, but long may it last!

Pryce scored all 3 out on the far, 2 from passing move opened space for him one from a gale kick into the corner that stopped on the salfor 1 metre and pryce picked it and slide over, final try was pretty decent.

Pryce intercepted on our own 5 ran up to about half way, jeffries than kicked accross field to a waiting ainscough who ran inside passed to burgess who busted a gut to get in support who went in under the posts.

Burgess' knock on wasnt the problem who dropped it on the salford 10ish salford then got a penalty from their 2nd tackle which marched them downfield for them to score, dont know what eilima did to get sin binned couldnt see really well from the far side, salford then scored from the resulting set.

Frustrating game for both sets of fans. Lots of dropped ball in the final 15 minutes which neither team took advantage of.

With Burgess going in under the sticks I thought we may have done enough to take the spoils but Salford piggy backed their way up field and grabbed a late score which they probably deserved. A draw was probably a fair result but both teams will probably feel robbed.

The amount of ball we put down in the final 20 was criminal.

Not amust win in terms of league table as it stands. But think people are thinking in terms of limiting damage of points deduction for going into admin, in which case a win against Leeds would certainly be helpful.

Everyone played well just the number of dropped balls and penalties cost us dear.....again

Dont think elima was for dissent looking at the ref think it was something to do with his tackle when the ball came loose on our own 5.

We need kearney back he adds the extra spark to our attack we seem to be lacking when we get to the oppo 20 atm

Can't argue with that. Disappointed we didn't manage to put it beyond doubt when we were 2 points ahead and Pryce got the interception for you to get the go ahead try.

Out of 10 consecutive sets between the two teams somewhere around the 60-70 minute mark, 9 of them resulted in knock ons.

Elima was sin binned for pulling a Salford player back as he went for a loose ball 5m out. Probably saved a try (until the next set). Average game overall, with numerous dubious decisions for both sides.

ta thought it was for something like that

Indeed, one the calls that Silverwood did get right tonight.. It was a clear sin binning for foul play. We got a couple of tough calls in good positions in the latter part of the 2nd half. He missed a clear knock on from Patten and a ball steal in Salford 30. But we also made far too many errors and came up with some poor options on their line. The knock on by Burgess when we were leading 20-16 and then to compound it with a penalty was suicidal.

Pryce had a superb game. Not only did he score a great hat trick he also saved a score from Salford with an intercept and how he mananged to get back in the field of play fielding one kick through I'll never know.

We gifted too many yards tonight and we have to get this fixed up pretty quickly. I thought a draw was probably the right result with neither team much better than the other. It would certainly have been tough on the Bulls if Salford had of snatched victory at the end.

Silverwood had a bad night odd calls all over the field for both sides.
