That could be my favourite win of the season TBH because we delivered when it mattered we haven’t done that for years

Didn’t watch or listen, but good result against the best Salford side for years. It’s in our hands now, but will still be a bumpy ride until we get more strength and size in the front row.

We do get Holroyd and Prior back for the wire game which should help our run in

That will help, both owe us a great deal after the seasons they’ve had so far this year.

Really enjoyed that. Should try for a few more Sunday games. Big crowd, great atmosphere. In fairness they were the better side for large parts but we stuck with them when they had all the momentum. Zak would have been my MOM for two absolutely world class tackles which saved tries. Great win.

Yep, Zak was immense at the back, deffo his best position for me.

I’d echo others statements, Salford were very good in parts and we did well to stick with them when they turned the screw. That being said, we look lightyears better both in attitude and application in those positions now.

A really flattering scoreline. Salford more than matched us for large parts of that game, they are a good side. The Handley interception changed the momentum of the game. Salford were well on top at that stage.
Agree regarding Hardaker for mom, he had no right to make that 2 on 1 tackle. He was outstanding on defence.

Was looking forward to that game and it didn't disappoint. A great start really set us up as Salford were the better side for the 20mins either side of half time. They moved the ball well but we stuck at it, something I'm not sure we'd have done earlier in the season. All in all a good win, when the pressure was on, against a really good Salford side.

Thought Salford played some really good stuff and would have beaten a lot of teams today. That they didn't speaks volumes about Leeds's resolve and application. A great game I thought.

Not according to Radio Manchester commentators, they reckoned Leeds looked absolutely out on their feet (fitness wise), at times.

The commentary was so biased I had to turn off. I like Salford and gave sympathy for the stadium appeal, but I think the radio message was not a good look toward other teams fans….
