First half Salford were dominating the ruck speed very well and really controlling the game. It wasn't until a fortunate pass (that hit the floor) led to a break and we scored. We then looked far better and their try was solely down to Wellens who shot out when we had shifted well to a 3 v 3.
Second half we were really dominant and we looked quicker and the forwards were getting good yards. Couple of fortunate tries (one included Lomax who kicked the ball and it bounced off a couple of players and fell into his hands) but also a couple of well worked ones like Turner's - it was a fantastic try and a highlight of the night.
Manu was exceptional yet again and Roby was also hitting his usual level. Think a big mention has to go to Laffranchi as he was very good.
Overall Gaskell wasn't great - he made a few bad erros (incl one of our last scores) - but his kicking game was good and his try assist for Broughton was good. I don't think we are missing much from not keeping him at the club.
I don't know whether it was just me, but Lomax seemed to limp off with what looked to be either a hip or leg injury. Did anyone else notice this?
