Does that make you feel good?

Best team won on the day. I'm happy to accept that and congratulate Salford on the win but I'd forgotten what an obnoxious contingent they have supporting them on RLFans.



On the game, thought Carvell stood up well enough but there was a worrying lack of shape and imagination in attack. I'm afraid I think the squad should have been used much better than it was.

Quite possibly, the most cringe inducing thing ever seen on tv

Crikey, how many times do need telling you deserved to win. There were plenty beforehand saying it was a potential banana skin.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but quite a few people near where I stood booed when the hooter went at the end of the game. I couldn't quite believe my ears. To top it off, as I was walking down the steps some bloke had a go at me for clapping- needless to say I put him in his place.



How anyone can boo a team at the top of the league is beyond me, you couldn't make it up.

Jesus christ, you lost a game, get over it!! Your still in the best position you have ever been in Super League currently!

Here here, Biccy



I remember a winger that would have chased that kick down...but Oh....we got rid of him last year....



I'm so underwelmed by Williams it's untrue...Bradford wouldn't take him, he's that average

I didn't see the game today, but after watching Bulls-Saints (Bradford were robbed...) and seeing the other scores, I have to say it is a chance missed to put some daylight between Wire and the chasers.



My thoughts are that Salford had a relatively young side out, and with Warrington winning a large number of games by easy margins, should Tony S not have played a few more of the reserve grade/academy today?? Clearly the forwards (in particular) would have been tired, and i think that giving some of the reserves their chance at a first team spot may have paid dividends, as (and no disrespect here...) it was only Salford.



Still... Smith is an extremely knowledgable coach, and he felt he needed to go with a number of guys backing up from friday. I just feel that it was a great chance missed to consolidate top spot.

As a Salford fan i have to say (and it pains me to say it) but Warrington are a class side and you lot are looking good to win the double this year but i dont think you can just blame yesterdays result because of friday game with England.Smith wouldnt have played players if he didnt think they were up for it and you cant say having two games in two days would made the players tired as its just like the easter period playing two games in two days.Thanks for the messages on our board and hope you do us a favour at the weekend

Anyone who doesn't think Friday's game is one of the reasons we lost is completely wrong IMO. There's some stato's on here, can someone tell me the last round in SL where the top 4 teams in SL all failed to win? I don't know but I would hazard a guess it's a good while ago! (if at all!)

Salford deserved the win by doing the basics. Keeping hold of the ball and one out rugby with a good kick to complete the set which will always see you do well in such poor conditions. How a Salford player was not put in the bin for persistent holding down and interference is beyond me though...

I'm not too concerned, you won't win every game, if anything this will put our feet back on the ground. Briers had a stinker, Monas just wasn't firing, Hodgson also seemed a little fatigued and wasn't positioned for the 2nd phase play we normally use. But on the plus side I thought Myler had a good game and I liked the way he tried to take the game to Salford when the team was struggling. Extremely vocal in trying to organise the left edge attack too which has been one of my criticisms of his in the past. Big mention to Gaz again as well, superb!

Never mind, review the video and get back on the horse at KR.

Well, if Saints players are anything to go by, backing up wasn't a reason for your loss. The Saints players who backed up had good games, albeit while playing entirely the wrong style of rugby for the conditions, whereas the guys left behind plus Perry who'd even had a week off (banned), were all very poor bar Makinson, our substitute winger. Wilkin was outstanding for us and he worked hard on Friday night too. So I really don't think backing up was the problem yesterday, for any team. If Saints players can back up well then so can those in the teams above us in the league IMO.



Friday might be different. As with the Easter programme, it is often the game in the following week when the tiredness can kick in.
