Just been on the Salford website - I like to get the opposition’s take on things. I would recommend our website writers take a look as the match report is lengthy, detailed and accurate, not forgetting very generous to the Alex - a good read if you’ve got a few minutes to spare. Don’t bother with the manager’s comments, mind, as their defeat was all down to them and nothing to do with our much improved display - just as I thought managers were becoming more honest!

Something else from yesterday. We are all quick to have a go at poor referees in this League; I thought yesterday’s official was excellent. The game flowed, he played advantage, two deserved bookings were recorded, he waved away early attempts to con him and you hardly knew he was there a lot of the time, which is how it should be. Well played Mr Finnie.
