Wigan didn't win that as much as Salford lost it.

That was one of the worst games of rugby league I’ve ever seen

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:55 pm  

Not at the races tonight us. Salford were amazing and I thought they eventually drop of but didn’t until 75mins in. At times looked like we was overplaying, glimpses of last year came back. Noticed Byrne didn’t come back on, is he injured again? Fields looks a bit leggy, sure he’ll be rested for the CC

Wardle once again quietly gone about his business. He’s world class

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 10:04 pm  

The Mark Sneyd show tonight, for sure. Till he cost them the game.

The main take-away is that it's good sign when you play as badly as that and win.

Otherwise, lots to work on.

I was wondering about Byrne at the game but just after I mentioned him to my mate, he came back on for about 5/6 mins at the end.

I’ll forgive the players that tonight. We looked flat from minute one but you can fully understand it and we move on.

To manage the emotion of the WCC and be 4/4 shows mettle, we can't be great every week.

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 10:15 pm  

I was applauding Salford after 75 minutes. Fantastic rugby from them. The six tackle set they had just after they had taken the lead was brilliant. Nene Macdonald was brilliant. He never stopped all game. Tim Lafai a handful too. Sneyd up until the obvious moment was top class.

We were way off our best but what an effort from our boys to drag them over the line for the drop out. LOVED the passion from Thompson. We had a tough period a man down camped in our end where I thought Salford would win it. They didn't. We come up with that effort and got the rewards from it.

Beating Salford with 12 men is not for every club

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 10:17 pm  

Smith getting yellow changed the game for us.

We have fallen into a pattern of trying to bully teams and be one very formulaic. 5 drives and a kick, try to grind out the win.

French wasn’t involved till Smith betting yellow forced him into action.

Poor game very dull was like watching the bad old days of Brian Noble.

Attack isn’t clicking but I think that is a tactic at the moment.

We are still suffering a little hangover from Penrith in my opinion but we picked up the win.

Sign of a good side, having a bad night but still winning.

Yea I think we can forgive the lads for not being 100% after going 3/3 and winning WCC. I don’t want to underestimate any team but this CC game has come at the right time hopefully regroup play a reduced side give those who need it a rest and be fresh for GF.
