Has anyone mentioned the policing/stewarding of the game?
Whoever won, they would have been on the pitch celebrating, and the losers would have said they were incited.
Kr split our fans up rather than put them in one end, and the stewards made no effort to stop the pitch invasion, at the far end, they actually let the fans on.
The trouble was clearly started by KR fans, but if they had won, I suspect Salford fans would have reacted the same.

I watched on TV & those who know me, know I travel home & away, I had already been to KR this season, however my reason for not going I knew what was at stake & whoever lost trouble would start, both have elements of not rights. I believe the problem started because HKR did not anticipate the support from Salford & as a consequence supporters were not segregated correctly. I am not blaming HKR as this type of behavior as no place at rugby & really needs looking at.

They simply should have put us all behind the sticks in the North stand - I could understand splitting us up if the North stand was completely sold out but there were LOADS of spare seats. Instead they decided to stick a load of us (me & family included) in that terrible south stand...we could barely see what was happening and felt excluded from the game & atmosphere - also our tickets said we had seats!. There was about 5 stewards in the south, they were never going to stop us getting on the pitch. If they put us all in one stand it would have been easier to police. I think HKR should take some blame for the lack of organisation.

Well done Salford, and another Lanky Team in SL.

HKR really threw that one away, but as already stated, Griffin won that for you on his own !!

Emotions were always going to be high and Leigh have been involved in lots of matches such as this in the past 15 years.

I dont agree with Golden point, but everyone knew the rules at the start of the season. Now its time to put that underachieving season behind you and consolidate for 2017. I think changes are immanent, and even though Koucash is a barnpot, you cant help but like him !!

See you all next year !!

I think it's unfair to say it was an underachieving season for us especially considering how much the wage bill has reduced over the past couple of years. But for the 6 points deduction we would have made the playoffs for only the second time. Apart from a couple of games against Leigh and London in the 8's (Where we failed to match their effort and enthusiasm) I thought in general it was a big improvement in not only results but team spirit.

The big concern for me now is who will replace Tim Sheen's? It's not to take anything away from Watto but I think we still need an experienced and respectable figurehead in the mould of Sheen's to oversee matters and guide us.

Koucash has already said, nobody is replacing sheens and he's not ploughing as much money in to off the field staff

That would be a big mistake in my opinion but I hope I'm proved wrong.

Totally agree, it's a concern.

Have you got a link to where he's said this? Stupid, if true.
