So round 2 is about to get underway with St Helens hosting Salford. St Helens got off to a good start with a 34-24 victory while Salford went down 24-10.

 

[Didgi]

Underway. Why the f the Salford City Reds are wearing Green is beyond me.

 

[joshie]

There is something about ugly jerserys and professional teams

 

[Didgi]

Everything I've seen of Makinson is good, yet he gets zero praise compared to the bigger young names.

 

[joshie]

Some great early signs from the Reds/greens backs tonight. They are not afraid to shift the ball early and in their territory, they are here to play. good signs.

 

[Patorick]

Salford City Raiders?

Salford City Greens?

Either way, they're going to get smashed here.

 

[joshie]

Two early mistakes from St. Helens, Reds stirring.

 

[Didgi]

Wow. That was brilliantly crafted.

 

[Patorick]

Loved the pre-match stuff.

Good game, so far.

Saints bit jittery at the moment, Salford playing good.

 

[joshie]

The last pass for that try absolutely amazed me! very enjoyable match so far!

Salford 4-0 St Helens


Good old Francis Meli drops it as i post, yet another mistake by Helens.

 

[Didgi]

Roby getting the runs going, when this happens it's only a matter of time. Lomax-Gaskell is going to produce points, soon, quite possibly through Wheeler by how he's going.

 

[joshie]

hey Didgi I am kind of hoping Hohiha has a bit of a Tim Smith this week haha

 

[Didgi]

The Saints machine is turning around, mistakes the only thing holding them back.

 

[joshie]

And solid defence like that! wow!

 

[Didgi]

The Saints machine is turning around, mistakes the only thing holding them back.

:lol: Word is Wellens is back next week, I want the Lomax-Gaskell-Wheeler to continue as is... therefore yes a shocker rfom Hohaia would be good.

 

[joshie]

And Salford have another try through Gibson

 

[Didgi]

That's two fantastic tries to Salford. Gibson's work getting outside his man before the pass reached him and the quick hands were brilliant, possibly could've contorted himself to get it down in the corner but the kick was good and backing up good.

 

[Patorick]

Wow.

10-0.

 

[joshie]

Okay after seeing that, all I want now is:

1. Salford to win to prove you all wrong
2. Hohiha to start dropping everything he touches, just for the lolz
3. Moon get back on the field

 

[joshie]

i'd say no try
