Have you guys been feeding Ben Currie raw meat during the off season or something? Jeez.

To use the Aussie vernacular, "WE DID IT TOUGH"

Some SUPERB defence (Biscuit Evans in particular).
Some great performances, I don't thing he was THAT brilliant, but it seemed that there was 3 Gidleys on the pitch at any one time. He seemed to be everywhere.

A little too many unforced errors for my liking, but I'll (hopefully) put it down to early season rustiness.

Mind you, bar our first try, EVERY 50/50 call went Leeds' way

A fantastic result. Well done, boys

Good game ,good win but we nearly threw it away with poor handling & too many needless penalties.Good job Leeds couldn't take advantage. On the other hand great defence & 80 minute performance & how Leeds managed to move of the mark so many times without attracting the attention of Mr Child is beyond me.

Big mention as well to the great Wire following for a Thursday night away at Leeds.

Fantastic defence combined with Leeds lack of goal kicker. Thank God sinfield retired.

A good win for you lads that. No panic when you went behind and always looked in control once you got a lead again.
This season could be very interesting with Wire recruiting well and maybe Hull following suit.
Very impressed with Currie. If he can pass (not a dig) could be a long term solution for Wire at centre and the national team.

well that was just amazing.

so many great displays tonight... i was very impressed with westerman, who was brilliant.

We won the game with our defense. i could moan about childs, but i wont.

very encouraging display tonight... our pack was immense... we look good... best thing is, we didnt even play that well attack wise, and we were easily the better side because of our defense.

Hope the Moretti was good, m_d.

My Cimarosa was gorgeous, but I forgot the cheese. DAMN.

We looked much more dangerous than Leeds when we had the ball which is understandable with Maguire going off for them. Already our attack looks so much more potent than last year.

i ended up going the bulls head and drinking corrs light, which is lovely

Penalties given away - bad
Lost possession - bad
Defence - awesome
2 bits of magic from Sandow - match winner

Given the possession stats we were exceptional in defence. I feared for us in the last 30 minutes but we kept knocking them over. Commitment to each other was amazing. Irrespective of the result we have a TEAM this year. Looking forward to Ratch, Dodds and Atkins increasing competition for places. Special mentions to Westerman who did big minutes, Cox and Julien who looked like they fitted in seamlessly.

Delighted!

westerman was MOM for me tonight... absolute trojan display. our best signing i think.

If you were to go on a well-known video sharing website and search "Salford v Warrington, 22.05.2015" and watch for Ormsby's 3 tries, Currie's passing is pretty good! Think this will be his true break out year as a second rower though.

Looks like Jon Clarke might be our best signing.

Just got home now,buzzin that much im going watch it all now,great night great turn out from wire fans,now to open a beer and watch the whole game.

Excellent performance.

Not sure what Stevo was on about before the game suggesting sandow thoght he was going to rip it up in SL when he came over - don't remember that, but he was excellent today, playing with his head up, what he saw in front of him.

Currie just keeps getting better, God knows how good he will end up. Positive start with a number missing (granted Leeds lost key players through the match).

Just glad to have RL back on the calendar.

Class performance...had everything we were missing last season; pride in defence, composure, kicking, teamwork. Our defence is clearly rock solid...our attack will improve. One of the best wire wins I've ever seen in terms of sheer effort.

A performance built around the three D's of desire, defence and determination and a wholly deserved one at that. Whatever Jon Clarke brought to the team as a player, he already appears to have made his mark as a conditioner so "big wraps" or whatever it is our friends on the beach say.

Yes, we made some mistakes, but if that is a sign the flamboyant, albeit often alarming, cavalier style of old is back to replace last years jaded pedestrianism, then I'll cope with that.

Currie (I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so), Westerman, Rhys in particular immense. Plenty of improvement, plenty of bodies to come back into the fold, plenty to look forward to.

Life, at least on this side of the pennines, is good.

Excellent defensive performance, one of the best I've seen.
Wouldn't say it was an excellent performance full stop though.
Some moments of brilliance, in the end i think we are lucky to come away with the win.
A lesser team would have been smashed by Leeds tonight.

Curiously i have just looked at the betting on sky bet and even though we won our odds have drifted out very odd.

Great win.

To be picky, we need to retain possession better, turning cheap balls, Sims needs to rub his hands in chalk not butter pre match.
We need to tighten up, giving away soft penalties. If Sir Kev was playing, we'd have lost the game.

The bench still looks light but the backs are bigger so it cancels the weight issue. I'm confident for most games but I would be happier to see us with a bigger pack when we play teams with big props Like Stains.

I thought we defended, bar the Leeds second try, excellently all game. Brilliant defensive performance.

I also thought our first try was obstruction, the turnover leading to their first try was a knock-on by Hall (given against Gidley), the turnover leading to their second try was a knock-on by Hall (given against Evans), and the incident leading to that penalty that Hardaker missed was extremely soft. It should have been 0-6, final score!

But Evans and Currie were immense and so were the two half backs. Sandow and Gidley were really something else. Not seen thy level of half back play for a good while for us. Brilliant!

BEvans, Bailey, Dodds & Laithwaite still to come back to the bench, it will be big enough.

Exactly - a rotating 4 of Hill, Sims, Dodds and Cox looks pretty big enough to me with Bailey, Evans & King in reserve. The bench was also light due to Currie playing centre. Westerman would have been on the bench otherwise.
