We were good on the night, it took us first 15 mins to get into groove, but we also stopped them playing and scorong at same time, so far credit to the team.
We were actually completing sets and kicking on, hardly any mistakes, Dixon was really focused and kick and chase was superb, full credit to him, time to shine again.
what a difference a game with no mistakes from us makes, Salford were ok, just did not get out of 2nd gear, we stopped them all the way, that gap in middle of defence was even closed on the night, so we played the game higher up the pitch, instead of right back on our line all the time. simple RL, set of 6, kick on, defend, simples.
The players body language also was a lot better, seemed focused and ready to grit it out, especially with all those youngsters again in the 19.
Total of 8 (eight) Broncos fans witnessed this, Paul Roberts, Mike Smith, Paul Warrick, Joe Warrick, Harry Warrick, kate & Mark Rammond and Richard, funny thing was, five were from Essex,
The salford fans were great at end, very gracious and full credit to them, we went into bar afterwards and they did a players talk etc and they were gutted, they still tried, but we had them beat, some people say that its only salford, but still at any level, pride kicks in and we were up for it, lets hope we remain together and move on as a team and group etc.
In a sense, Salford seem very similar to us, the locals are not happy about the stadium, they stay away, the new place lacks atmosphere, there the game suffers as well, the move away, from what they know, is still going around, we should note this as well, its not all rosy away from where you are etc.
