wasnt free with season ticket had to pay a quid and saw some kids getting turned away with thier season tickets to lol

Good game, Ratchford stood out above everyone else on the pitch. Nice to see a bit of biff aswell

Yeah I was a bit disappointed about that, I think we should have been warned that it was a friendly and thus season tickets wouldn't be accepted.

Great game and good to see us get one over Stains for once



If Kyle Eastmond is the next great hope for St Helens and England what about our own Richie Myler



Ratchford,Turner and Palfrey looked good.Overall a excellent team performance

come on prestwich red myler has only played 1 game in super league. and 2 games against super league opposition and hasnt been that good in both games celtic and hull kr kyle eastmond is a good player and i am a salford fan.richie has been put under a lot of presure by every 1 so he now needs to peform or he could have is place taken by stefan who i believe was head and shoulders above everyone today

He scored one try from a Salford cock up apart from that what did Eastmond do today ?

Still Myler for me but then again I am biased

Not sure today is the best time to judge Kyle, Salford played well and kept Kyle quiet but he is a quality player and has done it in Super League on a regular basis

did you not read my post i am a salford fan and my point was eastmond played 6 or 7 games for stains last year and will go on to bigger and better things myler has a lot 2 do to impress me after is last 2 outings against super league opposition smith made the diffrence in the halves last night.myler has benn put under pressure he doesnt need and i think ratchford has peformed far better in friendlies. did you watch the 21s today the lad was class

Eastmond looked pretty good, scored the try of the match IMO. Salford were excellent though especially tackling wise good to see a few brawls as well

I don't think Eastmond was fully fit today by the looks of things, but his try was a great finish.



My MOM would have gone to Jason Walton the Salford number 12. A very strong performance in attack and defence.

i thought today was a good all round performance from all the lads who played was a very tight game to start but we come through in the end

we also had a couple of young guys playing who were regular in the 18`s last season

so some good experiance for them shame about the season ticket fiascio again salford seem to change there mind when ever they feel

i also saw some young lads go away cos they only had there season ticket on then and not enough money for them to get in today ! (shame)

how else are we going to get these lads involved if they cant gain access come on salford sort it out proper ! ! and stop giving out duff information about getting into reserve games free with season tickets

I decided to clear my hangover with a trip to the game and was pretty impressed. Like someone said in an earlier post Stef was head & shoulders above anyone else on the park, although I didn't think his kicking from hand was as good as normal. 'Twas also nice to see a couple of dust-ups on the pitch (and almost one in the shed between a couple of old codgers

). All in all well worth the £2 and with a bit of luck I'll be able to make a few more reserve games this season as long as the scheduling doesn't mess with other commitments.
