That bloody red tunnel! Why do the stewards think its a good idea to bring it out still with a few minutes left?!?!

That's 3 tries I've not been able to see this season because of it. Granted all to opponents but that's not the point

Probably to have a quicker exit for the players/officials closer to the field of play so that they're less likely to get hit by anything or receive some up-close abuse by having to walk past the fans - at a guess anyway.

Also (as I think there is one on it) another way to get in some advertising for a sponsor...?

Will be a close game i think , hope its decent weather .

[iI hope your right?

It would be great to see plenty of your fans at the Willows on Sunday have a safe journey.

they should be bringing 3000 according to one of them on the virtual terrace.

3000 fish?

Does anybody know where I can get a free ticket this weekend? Really low on funds due to kids nursery fees etc, willing to do something for the club for it, I know theres probably no chance but only missed 2 games all year and stressing

Salford City Reds squad

Fitzpatrick, Broughton, Gibson, Talau, Tyrer, Ratchford, M. Smith, Cashmere, Swain, Boyle, Sidlow, Littler, Spencer, Sneyd, Leuluai, Parker, Neal, Wood, Owen.

Hull Kingston Rovers squad

Briscoe, Charnley, Mariano, Clinton, Vella, Colbon, Dobson, Fox, Fisher, Galea, Hodgson, Latus, Lovegrove, Murrell, Newton, Netherton, Cockayne, Watts, Wheeldon.

Interesting Reds line up, giving younger lads a shot before the end of the season...nice one

They don’t really have the option.

That must have been arms and legs

1750 tickets sold by HKR and I think 200 bought to be collected on the day. Would expect at least 2500.

Gary Owen from the under 18's academy will be playing hooker.

Surely that's a pseudonym. We all know it's an 'up and under.'

Yup, we have 'up and under' playing at hooker today!

Stop making things up

Well just got in , they killed us in 10 minutes , 10 minutes where we didn't even touch the ball . We tried our best but just lacked in size , power and experience . Really refreshing to see Spencer , Sneyd and Owen (What a debut ! ) I'm amazed Swain isn't getting a new deal ...what an absolute warrior that guy is !!! Well played Hull KR did what they had to do and punished a team with a lot of injuries and players with their minds on where next seasons wage will be coming from !

we really need to finish in 12th position +1 on last year and showing a very slight yet uphill rise in our performance.

That was me on there, but it was in reference to us bringing 3000 in 2007 for that relegation battle (which we did, as many pundits backed up), I wasn't saying that we'll always bring that.



Don't expect us to have brought many today, but presumably it was more then you brought to CP in Feb, + 4000 for a home game is not very good.

with nothing to play for people are not going to pay 18 quid to get in,
but on the whole we did OK with 8 first teamers missing, and a very generous Mr Smith in the middle, but we still need to hold onto the ball and tackle, no doubt McRae will wonder why his game plan didn't work and why hkr didn't play the way they did on the videos he watched.

still lets look forward to next season and some improvement on this year and lets hope we don't fill up the wards at Hope next season.

Have to say I thought Sean McRae's interview on Radio Manchester after the game was very honest - we were well beaten by a much better side! What more can you say?

Hull KR players wanted it more than we did, it appears a lot of our players didn't want it and couldn't give a about playing for the coach and that includes some who will be here next season.

Simple fact of the matter is that we went into the game missing a lot of 1st team players and got royally beat by a good KR side looking to finish in the top 6. Whether its the fact that theres nothing to play for or just the realisation that the squad we have at the minute is very poor but i honestly was not bothered one jot about todays game. Maybe 5, 6 tops of todays 17 will be with us next season kind of shows how much improving as a team we need to do to compete next year.

We were very poor today and again our defence was non exisitent but was good to see a few of the younger guys get a run out. little Owen looks anything but a RL player but fair play to the lad, gave as good as got and put one on a plate for Parker. Im genuinely looking forward to next season and can't wait for the current one to end.

And please for god sake can everyone stop blaming the referee everytime we lose a game, its honestly embarassing to hear grown men and women slating the official when the opposition rolls over our defence and scores!!! If people take their blinkers off then 9 times out of 10 you'll see that we get away with as much as we get penalised for!
