Kicked Joel Monaghan in the head as he was putting the ball down - looked a bad one imo.

32-12 final score

Re: Saints V Salford : Fri May 30, 2014 8:51 pm  

Walsh finishes the game with a penalty kick at goal.

32 - 12

Well not quite the predicted weekend.

Pretty much all the results in our favour.

Warrington beating Leeds
Huddersfield beating Wigan
Saints top of the league.
Widnes drawing.

All things considered a good result. A poor start, followed by a lot of disruption with injury could of seen us up against it, so it's good to see we dug out a result. Hopefully the week off next week will help us recover and push on.

Wello Walsh and Roby were the standouts

Hope Wilkin isn't out long term ? he looked in a lot of pain going off

Mine too. I thought Sia and Mose put in shifts too and during the second half Turner seemed to grow an extra one.

Damn shame about the injuries, just as we were due to get some bodies back.

Makinson, LMS, Walker (knocked out), Wilkin, with a head clash between Walsh and Turner (I think), Wello was in pain at one point, I think Wheeler had his nose held up by string, Robes went down at one point. What the f*** were Salford doing to us?

After all I said about Walsh and defence be put in at least three crackin try savers tonight.

Gotta fess, that was one heck of a game we played there. It was awful in terms of skill, with just two really great tries, but in terms of guts it was up there with the best we've put in this season.

I thought Thompson was outstanding tonight.

Did a heap of work in attack and defence, got smashed left right and centre but still kept charging it in and making yards.

Don't know how Soliola got MOM, he started off strong with a few big hits and decent runs, but once he was moved to centre to cover for injury he was repeatedly getting exposed on the right, and ended up being shifted to the left because Salford were tearing us a new one down the right hand side were he was defending.

Thought LMS did a number of big strong runs as well. He also played long minutes due to the injury

Wheeler finished the game but got his customary knock with about 10 mins left, so will no doubt be out for the next four or five weeks.
