How depressing for a first performance under a new coach. Awful

Tetevano and fus really dissapointing.

Tetevano needs to leave, it’s just not worked, he’s on a massive wedge, and if he goes at the end of this year he will still get a contract in the NRL (Dolphins perhaps?)..

He’s symptomatic of everything wrong with the playing squad.

I can't name a performance that's stood out from him especially like you say considering his placing within the squad. As much as the number of front rowers is a big problem theres a huge quality issue too with only really Mik proving his full worth.

Agree with this and your previous post. We have to focus on staying up but after that we need the huge clear out so RS canmake his team the way he wants it.

There are so many holes in the playing squad and the answer us always "X can do a job there". They can't. We need players that play that position to high standard,not middles and utilitys as first choice

You can't win games if you don't score more than your opponents - Leeds have scored less points than any side in SL. Significant work is required on our attack id we are to progress.

Wakefield next week takes on increased significance.

Thought Fusitua did OK today. You can see it's all there athletically. Just needs to knock the rustiness off. Really poor stuff overall though. Regardless of coaching some of the lads who routinely get picked are not, and never will be, top end of SL standard. Desperately need some ruthless and clear sighted decision making re recruitment and retention.

When your bench includes Donaldson and Thompson you know you have some issues. Neither of these players is going to positively impact any game of RL. Tryers is not what is required at Elite level

Re: RD 12 | Salford Red Devils (A) : Sun May 15, 2022 4:02 pm  

Agreed, we’ve signed journeymen and squad fillers for far too long, and then the ones we’ve signed to be starters have either been rash decisions or just not researched enough. We have a really poor quality squad, that needs to be ripped up and started over, and within this close season too otherwise we risk the environment that the kids will come through in.

There isn’t a single senior player over 25 years of age that I’d keep for certain. Rhyse Martin who is a decent player and very good goal kicker, should be retained if on a reasonable salary, and frankly any of the others over 25 can leave. We have more dead wood than Haworth Timber…

Tets a quality player. Been a disaster so far but could still come good under Smith. We have much worse players!

He’s been here a year and a half, and during that time he hasn’t had one game that justifies the salary we are paying him. He needs to leave.
