There were no issues with the clock at the game. I don't know what the fuss is about. The clock was clearly visible and was stopped by the referee whenever it needed to be. Castleford scored their final try with thirty odd seconds left on the clock. We were gutted.

We should have won the game when Meli was put through with two men inside him but he failed to pass to either of them. I also felt that he should have got back into a marker position before Cas scored their final try, but that may be a bit harsh.

I don't think we deserved to lose though.

Absolutely correct in everything.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.

The game clock is there for all to see.

It ticks down unless the ref stops it. How time can be extended god only knows.

F'kin idiots all!


The clock is only as accurate as the person pressing the stop/start button. It is open to human error if the timekeeper stops it and forgets to start it again immediately when the game resumes. Or the same could happen if the timekeeper pressed the button twice by accident.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying this definitely happened but there did seem a lot of added time and it is plausible.

I'm no Kershaw fan as a ref but blaming him for your loss is a bit of a stretch.
When you review the video for the time controversy I wonder if it's worth checking who missed tackles and made errors wearing Salford shirt. It will be more valuable imho.

I agree. I was simply answering Shooze question of how is it possible to add extended time on the clock.

As said before, the official timekeeper is flanked by a representative from each club who supervise when the clock is stopped and re-started. If there are any issues they raise these with the match commissioner and I believe they both sign at the end to say everything was done properly.

I think the length of the game was mainly due to Cas packing every scrum quickly from when we went behind with about 15mins left.

So are airline pilots but they still crash due to human error. ;-) No seriously if it's right and our club are happy with it, then let's move on and take the positives out of the game.

Bit more complicated than a machine with one button for start and stop though!

The timekeeping isnt an issue. Was only one team allowed to score in 'added time'?
We played very well in the conditions, and in my opinion, it was meli who let us down, twice.
A special mention to evalds who was outstanding in the conditions.

Yes but they don't have cruise control, 500 warning systems and the distraction of a nail biting game :-)

at the 'end of the day' Moneybags Salford lost again...despite the faulty clock.
With all this spending, you need to get a decent coach.
It's like having Peter Schmeichel managing Oilchester City....Doomed to failure/expectations.



More advice from a Leyther who never watches Salford. Why do they bother? Iestyn continuing to prove all the doubters wrong. After the gossip from Fev I am just glad that we have a Chairman who has invested fully.
