I'm channelling the hate towards the people that keep changing the fixtures so Stan and his odd beliefs are safe for now

I asked this a few weeks ago but wonder how effective Evalds would be at hooker, Peter Edwards came as a class full back and then converted into an equally good hooker, Evalds is good tackler, can distribute the ball and he has more than enough pace to scoots from the PTB.

Amazing that Flat Stanley & MR are in agreement on anything least of all re Evalds/GOB/Tomkins. The plan - until it is ditched - if ever - is to use GOB as a 3rd pivot in an effort to get the ball to the wings (S`au permitting) - Evalds is not a pivot - he`s a finisher and a good `un too.

Personally - if I had to choose between Evalds & Tomkins it would be Niall as he could distribute from dummy half like Stef did last night for Warrington & also still be a threat to the oppo with his speed of thought when backing up.

To be honest its nice to have the option. GOB is playing well at 3rd pivot, however if we were trailing with twenty minutes to go and we were lacking that piece of individual spark going forward that's when the change should happen. Evalds to Fullback then O'Brien to 9,6 or 7. Its a great option to have which is unfortunate for Niall, but competition for places is a healthy headache. Tomkins's discipline must improve, and until then i'd have Evalds and Three forwards on our bench.

I said this on another thread post Warrington game........

"there's no one more than me who wants to see Niall in the starting 17, as we know what he's capable of.
But in these games playing against big mobile packs can we afford to keep shoe horning him and Tompkins into the side.
The forwards looked dead on their feet in the last twenty and having that extra interchange would've helped that.
Unfortunately with Jones playing in the pack we don't have the luxury of bringing Niall on and moving someone from the back line into the pack, just my thoughts."

Now Lui has gone off we have the pleasure of Lee at half back....

Proper resilience this team has now. Very very impressed with them. Not been today but Carney getting 2 must have stuck in their craw just a little

Re: Cas away. : Sun Mar 13, 2016 6:16 pm  

Well done Salford. The better team clearly on the day. I did feel we were going to snatch it near the end but when you intercepted the ball then went on to score again not long after I knew that was it. Decent ish following too. Made some good noise.

Re: Cas away. : Sun Mar 13, 2016 6:51 pm  

Brilliant result.

With 5 games now that are all winnable that gives the team confidence to go for it.

I'd settle for 3 or 4 wins out of 5.

Odds on we'll be HKR's first scalp next week then?

Well played Salford much the better side today. Cas game plan was simple and predictable and we were no match for your enthusiasm and you've defo tightened up in defense. Good game
