Smith needs dropping

I think his partner, sat on the bench, should be the man with the blow torch on him. Smith is involved, trying things, looks at least like he could make something happen. His stats for try involvements this season back that up. On the other hand, I wouldn’t know Cust was on the field half the time. I wanted to see more from Cust this season but I think we’ve actually seen less.

That intensity and commitment is what we are looking for

French at fullback and field at 6 has to be the way forward from now on !!!!!!

Agreed.

Cust terrible tonight.

Need to bring Miski in next week and start with French at 1 and Field at 6.

Thought King was great again tonight.

I feel frustrated by Wardle he seems lazy. Lacks push around the ball.

Got sick of seeing Faz break and no support from his left edge.

Really need to sort out that half back partnership.

Cracking game for the neutral. A lot of sides would have lost to Salford tonight.

Couldn't agree more. Just having the pair of them in a position to get their hands on the ball as opposed to French being stuck on the wing made loads more space. Dealing with Field/French as a stand alone whilst the other is tucked away is pretty simple for the opposition. Have them both in the mix and they're a whole different prospect.

How much better was Smith when Cust was off? Think someone has already said our flatness generally in attack isn't from the so called junior half of our halfbacks.

Agree with all that. All night I was itching for Wardle to up his workrate. He just didn’t get involved. I like the lad but there are nights when you need to roll up your sleeves. Cust is going backwards. I wasn’t hugely impressed last year but gave him benefit of the doubt with it being his first year. He just isn’t progressing. The BS about him being Man of Steel fave in 2022 did him no favours. He was an NRL fringe player and I can tell why he was just that.

Got to get the ball in Bevan's hands as much as possible. Simple.

Re: Salford (H) : Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:14 pm  

What’s happened to Cust he was great before the injury. He looks taped up to the heavens and clunky in attack and defence. I still think there is a player in there but I’m struggling to see when the switch will come on
