In fairness our props made far more metres than Salfords.
Not sure Holroyd will be back for this one so it will be pretty similar on Thursday as the Salford game
Agreed, I think we looked worse than we actually played due the constant stop / start nature of the game which lets face it was Salfords entire gameplan for Friday. Its hard to build momentum when the other team is cynically running in / flailing around on the ground and generally poophousing their way through a game. When we did have a settled period of possession we looked ok, clunky and still building the combinations but ok.
HKR for all their faults are very much an attacking team and with them being at home and riding the crest of a wave after dismantling FC they will / should be buoyed with confidence and give us a real game so I cant see them going for the same slowing down tactics.
TBF, they kicked us to death in this game last year and much will depend on the weather come Thursday night but it should be another electric atmosphere and hopefully a good game we can squeak.
