The best first half since the saints game!!



How bloody fast is Jodie!!! The second try where he rounded the full back was absolutley brilliant!



Well done salford



BRING ON THE RHINOS!

What a nerve-wracking game it turned out to be!! We should have been home and dry at 30-10, but this is Salford we're talking about!! We spent most of the game defending our own line and scored some magnificent long range tries. Quite rightly Jodie Broughton will get the praise for two superb solo efforts but on any other day we'd have been praising Jeremy Smith for his break for Fitzy's try or Dan Holdsworth for his part in the other two - his kick for Stuart Littler was class!!



This season we've scored some really good tries when we've moved the ball out wide and used the higher quality backs that we've got, which makes it all the more surprising that we've tried to overuse forwards against bigger packs by playing five drives and a kick. We're not big enough to go through opposition teams, but we've got real chances when we try to go round them.

Spot on - it was noticeable that about the only pass Jodie Broughton got at the JJB was from a Wigan player!



But what a change to have a half back like Dan Holdsworth who seems to be able to make time for himself - the kick over to Littler was superb, he looked up, saw the opportunity and went for it when I think we were all just expecting a pass along the line and to get snuffed out! Brilliant.

littlers try was good, but if you read all the reports of the game it says it was gibson who scored it. obvious they all just copy each other.

Kind of glad I wasn't there experience those last 10-15 minutes of the game, must have been quite worrying watching those tries go in in quick succession and can't have been good for the nerves.



How did Neal play? How was Cashmere's return from injury?



Watching the highlights, it was nice to see a killer pass from Alker at the play the ball for Gibson's try







Great dummy from Jezza Smith to set up Fitzy's try. It's a shame we've never seen that sort of thing consistently from him throughout his time here.

from the MEN



His second was just as spectacular, this time his pace and balance produced a try and gave Salford a 30-10 lead before Bradford’s late four-try blast set up a tense finale.



can Neil Barker not bother even counting now, or is it he gets his numbers mixed up?

So how are the rest of the media reporting on the match? Bradford having a bad day or are Salford getting some credit this time?

No mate,Bradford had a real off-day,missing numerous regulars,Salford were very fortunate to come away with a win after a [uheroic [/u Bulls fightback....LUCKY LUCKY SALFORD!!!!

Classic quote from Bradford coach



`

'We contained them pretty well until Broughtons breakaway try'







...Broughton scored after 3 mins!!

Yeah on the BBC website report he said that at the beginning and then at the end he said they started badly. I'll let him off as it was his first match in charge



Sky Sports News summary (the words at the bottom of the screen) had two "pages" without mentioning Salford

Watching Boots'N'All the Tries last night when Broughton scored the length of the pitch try all they could mention was the poor Bradford defence, yes it wasn't the best but does everyone presume that Broughton is weak or is it just the case that Sky can't be bothered to learn more about him? They didn't mention his pace and guile in beating players. He's a powerful lad (and will get stronger) we've seen it a number of times this year when he's taken players with him over the line, one of which was on Sky against Hull FC so it's not like they've never seen him.

TBH im quite glad that Jodie isn't get all the plaudits in the press. I know that sounds bad but we've learnt from bitter experiences that as soon as our good players get hyped up in the media the so called bigger clubs come sniffing round to poach them!



FWIW i think Broughton is one of the most exciting wingers i've seen at the Willows and hope to see him play in a reds shirt for years to come.
