If you read my post, we used Joseph as a hooker for 7/8 weeks and it killed us . Tompkins and Joseph as your hookers stinks of the championship

What's up with carney and why when he has played has he scored so few?

Because he doesn't have a class centre like Shenton inside of him and we utilise him differently than Cas did.

No offence taken mate. Just that everytime we win it's because the opposition were poor. Funny how they all save their worst for us! (Feel free to continue the tradition in 2 weeks time!)

The last couple of times I've Watched Salford the players seem a bit over heavy. By that I don't mean fat but over muscled and it seems to affect their mobility and sharpness.

Vekder, if we lose to the better side, we will take it. Hope its a good game with plenty atmosphere and another good un for the armchair viewers.

Regarding some of the points raised - HKR deserved to win but I don't know how anybody can think our abject performance did not contribute to that result. The reason why Carney doesn't get the tries he use to finish at Cas can be seen from Space. We also miss Tommy Lee and okay it's not a popular view & he's not James Roby but I still believe it. Tomkins has improved but had a bad game & Kenny is new. Our kicking game is exposed when we face a team that has one. Griffin already appears to have gone to Hull and our back row punches below its weight. Apart from the wingers we lack pace and even Robert Lui has gone off a bit. Sorry rant over.

Carney has gone from been a 20+ try winger to score just 6 for you this season.
Seems very strange as he is an attacking weapon you seem not to have used very well?

He's being used as an extra forward to take the pressure off our light pack. He's not just sitting on the end of walk-ins like he used to, although I'd take 20 walk-ins at this moment in time.
