Good Result, think we needed that as a confidence booster!?

Personally I think we should play Kaye at hooker instead of Gale when Randall is off the pitch. We lost a lot of impetus against Wigan when Chad was off the field last week as well. Just a theme I've noticed after two games.

Have to agree with that. Very odd hes not in there as Chad rates him very highly. all i can think if its Mac trying to get a look at Gale and having him as another option of Kicker/SH and use Orr at Hooker,which lets be honest it has showen in last two games does not work.

Kaye played well in Cas game so hope he's not done a Tootill and upset Mac

Nice to hear Brian Mc picking Joe for special praise for playiing the full 80 and he thought Louie was outstanding too.

Surprised Hecks didn't get a mention. The commentators thought he was outstanding.

Anyway, 2 points in the bag and well done to the boys and the away crew !

well played tonight, you were a far better team than us! thought at 18-30 though that if we'd have scored next we would of gone on to win! anyway good luck for the rest of the season!

Me too. I think Kaye is the real deal and all the top teams want a good hooker coming off the bench. The way we play, the hooker is critical to our play and when Chad goes off we tend to lose our way a bit. I think Gale is being played to add a bit of creativity (and he is a recognised kicker) but IMO it is better to maintain our style of play with Kaye if this is how BM is gonna play it so that everyone knows their role.

I thought the purpose of bringing Kaye in was to support Randall in the hooker role and I would have thought Salford would have been a good game to test it in. I can understyand the experimenting with Gale and quins do need a kicker (I feel). Converting tries will be crucial this season to winning games, as the competition does seem to get tighter year on year.

Great stuff. Fine result, and good that the boys got a second wind after being pulled back to 30-18. Really looking forward to Warrington now - will be very interesting with Tony Smith now in charge there.

Good win. Can't complain about a 30 point margin away from home. Nearly letting them back in in the second half is worrying though.

Wasn't able to listen to the commentary, so I appreciate match summaries on here.

Highlights on Super League Show clearly show Gafa scoring the first try, but all reports I've seen have credited it to Melling.

Yes, that's very odd. I saw the highlights too - it was definitely Gafa who scored and the commentators correctly identified him.
