Disappointed bibby is playing he's been poor last couple of games, Halsall should of been given the nod at centre instead

What a remarkably stupid team we still are. Kick the ball on the second tackle and give Salford a seven tackle set, then concede on the set.

Re: Squad v Salford (h) : Sun Apr 24, 2022 12:22 pm  

Poor discipline and individual errors again, we just can't start a game well.

Having a shocker is harry smith, two wrong option's in attack, then a bad missed tackle leading to two tries conceded

Re: Squad v Salford (h) : Sun Apr 24, 2022 12:23 pm  

Harry Smith badly exposed today thus far.

Re: Squad v Salford (h) : Sun Apr 24, 2022 12:32 pm  

He’s one of our own Smith and you want him to do well but a four year contract was crazy. I think he’s one of the poorest halfbacks in the league from what we’ve seen this year. You can reel off at least 10 names before you’d get to wanting him controlling a team.

Few mistakes granted but I think some are being a bit harsh on Smith. He’s gaining confidence minute but minute, game by game. I’m yet to be fully convinced mind but I’m nowhere near writing him off.

O’Neill on the other hand; superb first half. It just leaves me wondering why we’ve waited so long to give him a game. His distribution from the ruck has been brilliant.

Ellis is having a good game as well, we really have missed his presence. I am worried about our centres though, there just doesn’t seem to be any strike there at all and if we shift it out wide instead of our centres creating space or hitting a gap, we’re looking to Field to do that for us.

Was interesting to see Smith run the line of the second rower and swap with Farrell. I just don’t get it with him. He’s a solid/average half back.

Our centres I think we have to accept we can only get so far this year until the crazy squad building over the last few years has been corrected.

Some better play from Smith later on in the half. A mixed bag from O'Neill as well - some smart play around the ruck but caught out of position in defence a few times. It'll be a learning process and they'll have the opportunity to improve knowing they'll be starting for the next few weeks.

Some seriously weak defence this game from us
