Brilliant to see them make the grand final on a shoestring with a bunch of cast offs. Amazing performance tonight and Josh Jones was outstanding imo

Congratulations Salford hope you go on and win it.

Jones was outstanding, but TBF the much derided Welham et al were as well.

A great feat of club management and coaching. Hope they win next weekend.

Would love Salford to win it. Thoroughly deserved and all involved at Salford deserves huge praise to not only achieve what they have so far this season but the style and brand of rugby played by them has been great. Shane they don’t get more fans and shame we couldn’t match the style.
Ian Watson has done wonders with a small budget and so many challenges with players coming and going.

Unless he gets a new appointment, he’ll be doing exactly the same next season, judging by the amount of players leaving but there again, he’s already recruiting. I too will be a Salford fan for the evening, as their CEO said last night, they need that 3000 following to turn up every week.

So pleased for Salford. Great team performance. They have been the most consistent form team in the play offs. So good to see a new team in the grand final at last. Best of luck on Saturday, I think it could be a cracker.

Well deserved by Salford, the result never seemed in doubt after kick off. Welcome financial reward for the Red Devil’s as well, a GF appearance is a fabulous achievement.

Going to be the first time I haven't supported Saints in a final (unless we are playing them), would be great for Salford and the game as a whole for them to win. Salford fan for a night next Saturday.

Would be brilliant for Salford to break the stranglehold - they'll be capturing a big share of the neutral support.

Great news about Toronto being promoted. Will provide a different challenge and pressure for every team, great for wider publicity (vs Fev getting up for example) and ratchet up jeopardy for smaller/underperforming clubs.

those that dodged the trap door this season will be @rse nipping next seeing some clubs recruitments

How much scope do toronto have to improve the squad? My understanding was they are spending up to the cap anyway and their team is rubbish by SL standards so not sure how they can increase the quality enough

We all witnesed one of the great moments in Super League play off history with at the end an interview with Wigan's next coach Ian Watson. All SL clubs have raided Salfords playing staff now Wigan will take the inevitable step.

possible use of the marquee rule?

Cheers for the best wishes on here guys, it's been an utterly bonkers season and whilst I was confident we weren't going to be the whipping boys most people predicted I had a lot of faith that Watto could keep us out of the bottom 4 or 5.

I actually looked at Hull's squad pre-season and tipped them to make OT and I've been really shocked at how up and down they've been as you've got some cracking players. In Josh Jones you've got one hell of a player and he'll always get a great reception back at the AJ Bell as Josh Griffin does.

Can we beat Saints? We almost pulled it off at the TWS earlier this season and I think the players truly believe it could happen. Whatever happens we'll enjoy the day as it may be another 30 years for me before I see it happen again.



Look forward to seeing you guys again next season but just make sure you give us a bigger stand for our 5000 travelling support.....

In my opinion Ian Watson did enough to be named coach of the year. Saints topped the league by a lot of points, but they had a lot of expensive star names in their side,and this is no criticism of Saints because i wish we had done the same.The Salford side had one star player who had left Australia under a cloud, but what a job he did.Ian Watson had to suffer other teams signing his players whilst he had to sign lesser known players, but what a success he's made of it without spending too much money.What if they beat Saints,would he be thought of as the top coach.Just my thoughts.

What an absolutely wonderful story - it must be what dreams are made of - well done to everyone at your club.

It was a great picture at the end of the game against Wigan to see that young Salford lad in tears of happiness. All together a great story for rugby league, only enhanced by Jackson Hastings winning (deservedly) the Man of Steel. As a game we should be getting loads of media coverage with this story and Toronto coming in, hope the powers that be can take advantage of the publicity.

Funny you mention that as Jacko saw that clip and invited the kid to training today (not sure how he got out of school for it tho!). I was in tears at the end of the game.... that kid is a lucky bugger, he hasn't had to watch Salford for 30 years like I have!



The final is just a day out for us long suffering fans and (again) everyone is expecting Saints to win so we've got absolutely nothing to lose (except the game of course

). Never ever dreamt that I'd see Salford play at Old Trafford or Salford City FC play at Wembley and I'm gonna see both in the same year!!

The Wire and Wigan fans at work that have made my life a constant hell are gonna get it both barrels this week....

if not for a dodgy video ref decision at langtree park earlier in the season, salford would have won, providing most of the team dont get stage fright, i reckon it could be a close game....saints may panic if salford are in the game with 20 to go!

Watson probably would have won if the votes did not have to be cast by mid August. At that date, too early in my opinion, Holbrook was the obvious candidate.

How lovely to see Gareth O'Brien's drop goal on BBC Breakfast this morning. Not far from the same spot where Kirk Yeaman sent Shaul through on Good Friday 2016. Such a marvellous launching pad for our back to back Wembley wins and Salford's upward climb to the GF.

Just seen Josh Jones gozzing into the bin in the changing room.
He can pack that in.

You can get 25-1 he does again next season

For those who think the playoffs shouldn’t exist!!!! Blah, best game of sl so far this season

Sad to see the biggest game of the season so spectacularly ruined by inept refereeing.

Saints are a good team. They've not needed the inconsistent decisions going in their favour.

Just glad it's not us but that on no way makes it right.
