:DEPRESSED: Sounded like on the radio & from the brief highlights I've seen that both Finn & Grix had shockers & I've no doubt both are gonna get some grief on here this week. I've stated elsewhere that I felt both didn't contribute much last week, but the team as a whole delivered a great victory.

Does CC play the same team again & demand they deliver or are we again gonna see some changes.

I'm thinking that Easter isn't that long ago, a series of agonisingly close defeats & then last weeks heroics has left them drained mentally & physically?

Physically and mentally drained???? They're full-time professional sportsmen for God's sake. It's their job!!! Perhaps Salford were physically and mentally drained but they made a far better job of it than we did. Didn't the rest of the teams play at Easter also??? We're forever making excuses for rank bad performances.

Grix and Finn should take a leaf out of Arsene Wenger's book.

Nobodies happy with it & so far it's been one rank bad performance. I'd have dropped Finn & Grix after last week, but it was a great win. What do you suggest, sack the team, coach, MC & the laundry lady?

I remember that year when Harbin was in charge & we lost 12 on the bounce I think, that was pants. Get a grip!

I think the problem tonight and in the lead up to tonight is that people forget that despite The Dr not being there anymore and Salford selling O'brien, they still have a lot of good players, Evalds, Sau, Lui, Littlejohn who seems to be the sort of player that would suit us and they have a workman like pack.
Take them for granted and you'll get a surprise.

Bottom 4 tour this season

Theres not a single player from tonight who deserves a spot next week.

Littlejohn, the sort of signing that would suit us.

Sure when there were NRL halved off contract at the same time as Sam Williams, he was one of them.

Food for thought.

No excuses tonight, we were shocking, and of.

Yes Finn had a stinker, but he wasn't the only one.

Do feel now, with the manner of the defeat, we are looking over our shoulder a bit.

The next home game could be massive now I feel.

Re: Salford : Fri Apr 20, 2018 10:36 pm  

Well played Salford, great line speed and defence for the full 80, even with the loss of Lui and Sau with one arm.

Re: Salford : Fri Apr 20, 2018 10:48 pm  

For all the talk pre-season about our 'monster' pack of forwards, I don't think I've seen a game yet where they've dominated the opposition pack.(missed first two of season due to holidays).

Can't make my mind up with the first bit, if you are agreeing with me or not.
As for the rest, yeah bad result but may have shaken CC up to realise that you can change the team and not have a detrimental effect on performance, keeps players on their toes.
We are no way worse than Shudds, Widnes, KR and Catalan.
