Rugby mum on WhatsApp is a Salford fan and went today (instead of flag bearing at Leigh v Leeds) and she’s so happy they did it! Quite a big thing for them.
Great win for Salford.
I'd have expected Saints still to win with being down to 12 for almost the 2nd half.
Interesting to see the length of ban for Percival. Shoulder into the head of an opponent!
Joe had a pretty good game, I thought. That forward pass from Brierley was a poor decision, but didn't Salford score with a worse one shortly afterwards? A well-deserved win, though. Percival can have no complaints; you just can't do that.
For me, Sky Sports really have to change their attitude towards Stains. Treated almost like a disgrace that someone beat their mighty gods of modern day rugby. Thought Salford were exceptional tonight and Stains didnt need the officiating support they received. That offload at the end was spellbinding. Bravo Salford! as the idiot on commentary called them “the team of players who aren’t wanted elsewhere” deserved their win. And the Stains fans booing the ref at the end was the icing on the cake!
And they threw that in the face of Marc Sneyd at the end too, which I thought was right out of order. I'll bet Rowley was furious, and I don't blame him!
