If any of you are wondering whether to make the trek over next week, I can almost guarantee you will score 50+ so its probably worth coming. I dont even think I will be able to watch. Salford, a team who got hammered by 12 man Catalans and accumulated 20 points for in 3 games just put 38 on us. I bet you cant wait.

Rugby never works like that always beware of a wounded animal, think we will win but its never that easy like to think we are more professional than that

Maybe if it was a one off. But we have been a wounded animal for 11 out of our last 12 games and only won one. Your players will be more professional that I have no doubt but surely you guys, the fans, are rubbing your hands.

You generally play well against us and Dobson always causes us problems. I like the look of Eden but is prone to brain farts and costly ones too. Plus your at home and we have another long trip up to Hull. Hopefully we have Briers back and Ratchford can move to full back to give Brett a break. Should Briers not be back I wouldn't rule out a bit of a shuffle in the backs with Riley moving to fullback and well as to who plays on the wing, ask Tony Smith.

No chance.
I don't care if we're playing the Aussie Invicibles/Unbeatables of the 80's, I'd still fear HKR away, more than the Aussies. This game has HUGE banana skin written all over it..

Admittedly, HKR were total dog's plop for the last 20 minutes tonight, and would have got beaten by the Dagenham Girl Pipers. LAUGHABLE

I wish prediciting RL results were so simple.
Last season at CP we were winning something like 22 - 6 at H/T and went on to lose 22 - 24 IIRC

I know what youre saying guys I just think on this occasion the seemingly inevitable result will prevail and we will get tonked.

Attendance at Salford was 1,989
Is that the lowest for a Super league game?

I'm sure Broncos would give that a run for the money. Not a good advertisement for the game for outsiders turning on for the first time.

And that's with their super dooper new owner and fantastic new ground as well??....



Shouldn't people who question London's right to a place in Super League be looking at Salford too??.....Also, it pi$$es all over these theories that London should make way for an established club, when a club like Salford struggles to find 2,000 supporters?

Lowest attendance was 1,122

Crusaders RL 16 Harlequins RL 12

I was watching in amazement, wondering how we managed to lose against both of these sides last season.

Oh, and Greg Eden is poop.

That's probably a similar figure to Fev's gate at the moment. Koukash has a lot of work to do.

Salford v London Fri night

KR have major defensive issues, but can look really competent attacking.

I'm not too confident after last season, where we suffered (what was then) equal to the biggest SL comeback defeat... I bet similar things were bring said back then, too.

There was a rather unfortunate bit of timing when Hemmings was saying that Rod Studd and Stevo "can start a row in an empty house" just as the camera gave us a particuarly forlorn shot of a virtually empty stand

Salford are after Sam Tomkins (this is not a joke).

Should be fun in the closed season, wonder if he'll get in a couple of high class Aussies after a buck.

Crowds doing well at PO Road so far this year, expect them to increase once the improvements are done.
v Leigh- 2,831
v Barrow- 2,384
v Hunslet- 2,319

Hull KR away is always a tough game and the players will be hurt after last night...

I reckon I could probably count without a calculator too, even if we are in a different country being in the south stand.

I thought I saw 2,500 as the minimum the franchising committee were looking for, if that is true they look to be doing quite well.

Featherstone's location means they'll have virtually no chance of a Super League franchise unless Cas and/or Wakefield go (which is not impossible I know, but I still doubt Fev would replace them).

Salford's location gives them a chance because the RFL will want a "Manchester" club, although they may have to consider and accept a Manchester re-brand which I know a number of their fans are already resigned to.

You won't play that badly too many times this season and I think you will be out to rectify that next week. You're always a tough prospect at your own ground and we have a lot of injuries.

That make you feel better?
