Give over. Are you seriosuly saying that the Origin International had no affect on the game today? Deary me. I'm no SL coach but even a blind man could tell our players were knackered and lacked urgency, they've not trained together all week. You deserved the win but to suggest that the game didn't have an affect is absolutley garbage.

Not at all.... I'm answering the point originally made. Fatigue was bound to have an effect... but the original point was all about training together all week.

If Tony Smith felt they couldn't cope or the coaching staff hadn't prepared well enough... then he wouldn't have played those players and gone with the ones who had trained all week.

Fact is... these players... as a 'team' should know each other inside out this far into the season. Behind the scenes... Tony Smith would have had a game plan worked out... and each player would have specific instructions... and should only need to be told once what they were.

how many?

Re: today : Sun Jun 12, 2011 4:48 pm  

Do we have any prove that Smith was offered to re-arrange the game?

Re: today : Sun Jun 12, 2011 4:50 pm  

yeah, Tony is on record as saying he did not want to re arrange as it would cause fixture congestion later in the season.

They were playing a team who haven't in the league since we beat them 82-6 nearly 3 months ago

We were 5h1t3...end of
One man rugby from minute one...conkers to the weather...we've got enough in the locker to beat Salford
We stank and looked disinterested from the start. This had little to do with the events of Friday night.
Well done Salford...you deserved the win.

Oh...and a message to Mr Moran re Stefan Ratchford
Keep your chequebook in your briefcase....I've NEVER seen a player look so lazy...especially when he's stated his desire to leave, and he's playing in front of potential suitors....bone idle.

too much looking at each expecting someone else to do something today, the patten try in the second half is a good example of that, not enough work from the forwards, too much of the 3/4s running the ball in.

Westwood tried to set the tone in the first half, but no one backed him up.

Cooper wants a ####### after not even attempting to lay a finger on someone for Patten's try...PATHETIC

Oh, and another thing
I'd give Bill Gates' hourly wage to know what One Trick Mick brings to our side...honestly, I would. I can't for the life of me think of ONE THING. GGGGGRRRRRRR

Don't be saying that on here you'll start a debate on how he's got more to his game than Clarke....!

Re: today : Sun Jun 12, 2011 6:38 pm  

Joking aside, it's one of life's great mysteries
I'm no Clarke fan, but Higham....he must have some incriminating photos of Smith

Deary me
