totally agree with all the above points, though i thought the main difference was salford stuck to a game plan and executed it perfectly, we had enough chances in the first half to win the game but couldnt execute, why have we suddenly wanted to kick into the in goal all the time especially when they had been shortened today.
who the hell picked mom because both half backs were shocking in my opinion, cant see how any of the backs could have won it, again i have said it before the cas fans were right about moore hes not upto the job, his passing is awful. also think nathan brown should shoulder some of the flak his team selection today and tactics seemed clueless, lunt great impact player coming on as hooker but not starting as back rower, the farce with korkidas unless he was injured, ithink he was outcoached today as well as the team outplayed
rant over well played salford, lets get back on track at wakey next week

good rant agree

since when was goulding your kid?? thought he was wigans!

We have adopted him

He has played really well since he came on loan and has really improved the defence on that side of the field. He has scored a few tries too. Hopefully we can keep him for the rest of the season and who knows after that

Robinson was a good prospect at onetime with us,im glad we did get relegated and he fooked off to you's as we would not have the most promising number 7 in super league amongst our ranks
His kicking game at salford was always poop(infact i remember twice at your place 3 years ago he twice failed to find touch on a pen kick for touch!!)and it certainly looks like it hasn't improved much on todays performance!!
OH RITCHIE MYLER!!THE ONLY MAN FROM WIDNES WITH A FULL TIME JOB!!

whilst im impressed by the salford kids ( not including wigan's goulding!) im sure robinson was once a good promising talent? im sure when he was a good promising kid at salford he was more than just an average player?

Can't disagree, i still think robbo has a lot to offer and looks dangerous every time he gets the ball Made a couple of great half breaks today and offloaded twice to set hudds free!! Thank fook the little nugget head didn't have the last word though!!!

That sums up our performance today. Low points. Not finding touch with the first penalty. Not being able to defend our line. Passing to a player stood in front of you (twice). Inside ball, inside ball, inside ball. What are we going to do on this tackle, oh I might have guessed inside freaking ball. Kicking on the last tackle near the Salford line EVERY SINGLE SODDING TIME. At one point we had at least a four to one overlap and Robinson ran along the line and then kicked sideways FFS. Kicks that where either too hard along the floor or just lobbed throught the air into the in-goal area, every single one resulting in a Salford tap on the twenty. Getting a scrum near the Salford line with maybe time for one or two tackles and what do we do? Give the ball to Faiumu who runs in and gets tackled, excellent way to waste a tackle.

All the above sounds like the Radar Robinson we once knew.

Terrible is an understatement i think - that was one of the worst performances i have ever seen by a Giants side in SL and i've been there all the time and i have seen a few !.

what annoys me even more is even when the game was slipping away from them, Eorl apart, not one of our players looked interested in getting it back, not one player decided to try something different to spark us into life and thats the annoying thing, this season we've gone to wigan and hull kr, gone behind then come back and blown them away - yesterday i dont think they even cared if they won or lost

no urgency
no passion
no will to win
absolutely no creativity from any of our so called 'flair' players.

must say though well done to Salford, they played us of the park at times just by playing basic Rugby and their fans who ,for only a small amount made a decent noise

yeh i appreciate that n by the sound of what your saying yo've been watching the giants a lot longer than me n you sound like a much more experienced spectator than me. it just really gets me frustrated when people leave early even if you do think you could be spending your time more wisely. i mean 10 minutes is nothing you might as well sit it out just to see the end of it seen as though uve sat through the first 70 minutes.

In fairness I'd rather get home 30mins-an hour earlier than watch a final 10 minutes of tripe.

his kicking game at salford was always poop?? think in his final season for you he had the most 40/20 kicks in super league..hardly poop

There is a lot more to a kicking game than just kicking the odd 20/20.
