Agree with all above posts.

Chase made the difference , not only in the obvious danger he presents with seemingly several options with ball in hand; (must be a nightmare to defend against ) but also in the way that lifts the whole team . Generally much quicker movement at the ruck.

Definitely like Theo as the interchange hooker, can't see Howarth now getting a look in if both Lee and Theo stay fit .



As for Cas - great turnout from fans. Carney's thighs are bigger than Junior Sau's which is saying something !

Loved the cameo Cas cats woman haranguing Childs at the scrum towards the end !

I hear you, I've said countless times that if he is good enough to be a replacement hooker in a world cup for his national side he is good enough for Salford. Going forward he adds much more than Howarth ever will.



Thought S'au looks like he wants the ball as much as possible going forward and that in defense it will take something good too run over him.



I thought TP was much more effective when on the field than McPherson who for me faces the biggest struggle to stay at the club come the end of the season.



Dixon shows what an asset he is with a fine all round performance.



Mullaney again showed he will be our best buy this season and for me did so being injured for a large part of the game.



Tasi seems not to be making the yards he was and I wonder if he needs to be taking the ball deeper to gaib greater momentum.





All in all think we saw just exactly hot much we have missed Chase so far this season, I'll be honest today was also the first time I've seen Smith justify all the hype, doubt that Smith playing better and Chase returning isn't linked.



If I could ask for a couple of things come the end of the season it would be that the Doc goes all out to bring Carney and Clarke in think they would make a massive difference to the current squad.

I think you might just get your wish with one of them.

first of all the best team won and deserved to win but for me the game was not good it was poor because of one man in the middle not just for Cas but both teams I played for 20 years and watched for 40 and Childs put the worst performance I have ever seen of a Ref. Again I will say well done best team won.

Agreed about Childs, lost count of the number of times I couldn't actually figure why he had blown for something, but then at other missed the most obvious infractions.

Hang on,that's a bit extreme.

Childs had a poor game,he's a poor ref.

He made several obvious mistakes.

But,we saw a good game of Rugby and the ref was a part of that.

I've seen far worse reffing displays over the years,today's wouldn't have made my top ten worst displays

The big clubs get all the decisions.

Can someone suggest where I can buy a new ironyometer? Mine started to get a little overheated in the first half when Cas fans were calling Salford a 's***hole', then gave up the ghost when Daryl Powell referred to that daft bint who invaded the pitch as a 'lady' in his post-match press conference.



Stay classy, Cas.

Should have mentioned earlier but after today I'm even more convinced that S'au will become a legend. The way he pumped the crowd up when we scored in the second half was there for all to see and then to milk the crowd by being the last one to go through after the final whistle and absolutely love every second of it for me just shows how he loves being at Salford and has bought into the Docs gran plan.

Thought you were deserving of the win today, we weren't at the races and Salford stayed disciplined played the percentages well. Chase gets the inevitable credit but I thought your full back was outstanding. Hansen and hock will be a handful when hock is back.

Purely hypothetical, but if signed Carney & partnered him with S'au, Hock inside them.....A crazy thought, but I think they'd run rampant & teams would have to overcompensate leaving space across the field.



It'd be good to watch anyway!

How she got all that way with no one stopping her was bewildering.... G4S eh..

just to put it in perspective, cas havn't won a game when childs has been the ref for 2 seasons. having said that you were much improved today but that is the last time i'll visit your stadium until you sort out the parking/exit issues. its past a joke now. surely there must be an easier way than what you are doing now or don't you care about the away fans experience? i read on other fans boards how bad it was but didn't believe it but it was even worse than i expected. i know about the M60 incident but we exited the other way so it wasn't that. no doubt about it away fans will just refuse to travel.

But im sure when you got to the ground today you would of saw roads and bridges being built so unless we get you in the cup it would be better next season to get to the ground
