I do believe and i think you'd agree, with 13 men all game and a decent ref, we would have won that. However like you said, very poor performance Chris. Ostick was yet again my motm then from there, i havent a clue.

Shame about Morrison.

I certainly agree. He punished us for holding down in a tackle which lasted about a second, but refused to pull them up for the same. He pulled us up for being offside at the kick off, which never happens. And it didn't happend when they were offside.

The less said about that last penalty the better but he was clearly bent.

Ostick easily MOM. Stood up when others didn't. Flynn was decent too as was grady when he came on. The rest? I will be diplomatic and say most of them need to do better next time.

Wildbore though, idiot. Deserved the sending off, and Doran cost us the match too.[/quote]

Althgough I thought Lee Doran was our most consistant player last year I think he probably topped the penalty count. Snappy old dog see.

just when you think you have seen a bad ref performance someone all ways comes along and tops it.

Remember this time last year, Oldham beat Salford too.

First time i've seen em this season and i was hoping to see us do the basics well -

- Solid defence
- Complete sets
- Good tactical kicking
- Good decision making
- Good strong running forwards
- Discipline

Sadly we didn't do the basics well enough. And it was that along with Dodds play the ball F up and Smithy not passing to Webbo twice when he was screaming to knock over the 1 point to win...

Few positives i thought were -

Kavanagh looked hungry and up to speed after his "time off" at the end of last year.
TKL looked as fresh as ever, and strong as ever.
Webbo and Thackeray showed glimpses of brilliance.

Mr Wildbore however is a coward who will have to do a lot to make amends for that utterly indefencable cowardly act ... Lengthy ban me thinks coming his way.. And no matter how well he played and i thought he did a good ish job to day Duffy is not a LF and we lacked that little extra size and strength BB and LP gave us last year...

Recon we need a grizzly prop and a extra sessions on discipline in training this week..

Oh and the ref didn't make that many mistakes tonight.. Dispite what people think ! Get the blinkers off !!

Was unable to attend the game. What did Wildbore do to warrant the sending off? From some of the comments, im judging it to be pretty bad ?

My brothr reckoned there was a stamp in there, but even if not, the guy was on the ground.

Absolutely wrong for him to do that. Only asking to be sent off.

But I completely disagree with nes. Ref had a shocker. So did we tbh, but I think the ref knew exactly what he was doing.
