Congratulations to Salford, that's a fantastic result!

I bet their fans are buzzing & rightly so, into the six to boot.

It was bound to come eventually no way was saints going to just keep winning, and the fact they almost lost to Shakey the week before was an indication the loss was coming - but no one saw the absolute pasting on the cards. Good on Salford.
Glad we aren't playing saints this week as I cant see their egos taking it well!

Saints are not getting ready for the play offs, they are just struggling across their whole back line, shirts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are injured and our back 3 forwards have not played together for quite a while because of injuries or self inflicted bans.

Woolf will have them prepared around September he can’t rest many players in the first team squad because we are down to 20 players which is happening to other clubs as well.

You dont need to tell me about injuries.
Pre season, we would have expected our three quarters to be Johnsone, Tupou, Lyne and Lineham and we only got close to that a couple of times (Tupou having never played)..
Lineham just didn't work out for us and Johnstone has been out injured for most of the season.
Thankfully, a couple of the youngsters have stepped up and done a great job, under difficult circumstances (Murphy and Hall).. and we've "made do" at right centre.

thats a poor excuse - salford were also in the same boat regarding injuries - and they dont profess to have the strength in depth that everyone bangs on saints have, i guess they just coped with it better!
and as you rightly say other teams are also experiencing similar.

They havn’t coped with it better though, Salford have lost 11 game to Saints 4, also Salford have lost by much bigger margins.

Salfords attacking spine has been available for an enormous amount of superleague games compared to the Saints counterpart, Sneyd and Croft have not missed that many games were Dodd and one armed Lomax have been busted since round 8 with Dodd out for the season.

Salford and Leeds have been form teams at the moment and that’s what we have seen Salford thrashing Saints and Leeds thrashing Wigan.
