Tom Johnstone was sublime in that first half, superb.
The second half was horrendous, what a total mess, so many bad decisions and panic rugby.
Awful. Happy with the win though!

Champagne rugby that first half followed by a comedy of errors the second half , and we certainly didn’t have to ask Salford twice to join the party . A win is a win and I’m grateful, but if we play to anywhere near that second half standard against Wigan , the challenge cup dream will be over once again for our club for another year .

Those non-attempts to go for goal in the first half (again) could well have come back to bite our backsides if that second half had lasted five minutes longer.
I have to admit that TJ is the best winger I've seen at Belle Vue since Jan Prinsloo. After that display we've got to make sure that he's still with us next season.

I have to say, although when it worked, it was top class.....we made plenty of mistakes in the first.
We could have had two or three more tries with slightly better execution or luck.
Needs a fix for Wigan. They won't let us off.

Your right PT we'll get punished heavily BUT perhaps it's a blessing in disguise - we know there will have to be a big improvement for Wigan and so do the players now. Should rule out complacency.

I'll concur RC re TJ
I'd hate to chose between him and Prinsloo.
God knows how many tries he'd score if we could keep the lad on the pitch!

I’m with the TJ plaudits … although I have to admit the pass from Miller for his second try was a good metre and a half forward … how the Touch Judge missed that I don’t know!!

Re: Salford up next : Sun Apr 03, 2022 10:54 pm  

Happy to get the win but, the second half was awful.
Thankfully, the first half and Johnstone in particular, was worth the admission.
The lad is pure box office

Yes, a mile forrard! When you think that the two liners were Hicks and Child you’d think they’d pick them up! Like more to focus on Corey Halls pass to TJ that set Millers try up…now that was sublime! If that had been a big club on sky they’d have been wetting themselves over it!

Good win today though…real scruffy 2nd half but got the all important two points that keeps the momentum going…could be good for next week that we had that bad half…prefer it today and get the win than next week! Do think Salford have the makings of a good side though and like us could punch well above their weight and surprise a few!
