shocking performance, backed up with shocking attitude that stank the place out! 16-6 up we thought we would stroll it....well done salford, far quicker, better and played as a team! hastings ran the show from half time

Re: Salford (Home) : Sat Aug 17, 2019 7:21 pm  

another abysmal home showing,salford looked far fitter,more composed,well drilled than our error strewn rabble,they played with about 50 speccies watching on,we had 11 000 and couldn't be arsed.good job we have a decent away record or we would be scrapping it out with the dobbins.

First half was not OK. We set the tone when they went 70 metres in the first set. Too many looked like they couldn't he bothered today. We just don't seem to have any urgency in our defence.
Sneyd probably had his worst game in a Hull shirt too.

Totally agree pedestrian and clueless!

Radfords comments after the game

Lack of intent
Players let the club down

and what about this
asked whether he just wants to get on with the match against Huddersfield
he answered not with some of these blokes
Really Lee .Not the right thing to say in public

However nothing about any of his failings

Played Tuimavave who was not fit and carrying an injury.Hence Buchanan on the bench giving us a lightweight bench
played both Bowden and Westerman in front of Masi and Jack Brown when both are struggling for form.
Shauls form dropped off a cliff.
Satae came off the bench in the first half and only five minutes at the end when the game was lost.Whats that all about?
He should have a least had one spell with Taylor
Ar the moment Radford is Teflon but it wont last forever

Completely agree with you there and maybe complacency has set in with Lee due to his close relationship with Adam.
Hastings and Jones aside I would not have any other Salford players in our team, yet they play entertaining rugby and play as a team.
We should have beaten them with our comparative teams but desire and structure were evident in 1 team and it certainly wasn't ours.

Re: Salford (Home) : Sat Aug 17, 2019 7:40 pm  

I have said for years that we badly need to bring an Attacking coach in. All of the coaching staff were grafters as players, none of them know a good attacking play.

Sadly this season will go down as one that got away. Had we not wasted time and money signing squad players like Nzougou, Langtree and Washbrook, and actually replaced Watts with a big money signing we might have ended up at Wembley and be in with a shot of Old Trafford, and even if we still ended up trophyless you'd have said it was a good year.

Instead its felt like the class of 2016/2017 running of of steam, playing inconsistently, hovering around the playoff places but never sticking their head above the chasing pack and looking like contenders

We're getting as bad as Warrington for the 'wait til next year' hype and I'm as impressed as everyone is with our new signings, but you could have played all the new names today and it'd have added more 'grunt' but it still.wouldent fix the lack of attacking direction and woeful passing skills. A lot of work needs to be done this Winter.

i believe this team as a whole isn't good enough to be in top 4, on the day we can beat anybody but just not good enough to do it week in week out, we look tired today, we got exposed on the flanks but for me we again got overrun in the middles, apart from taylor and Houghton our starting 6 will be different, with Soa, manu, jones savillo to join Satae just hope 2 weeks rest will be good for us and we get a few fit bodies back, is masi injured? next 3 matches we have to win 2, but cant see us going far in the playoffs, but hey ho we always have hope,

To be fair, our six will look different next game, when Manu and Mini are back in and Westy goes back to loose, and Ellis making our interchange stronger.

I'll say it.
I'd like to see a new coach with fresh ideas this winter.
These performances and calling out of the players is the only consistency we have and yet nothing changes or improves.

Re: Salford (Home) : Sat Aug 17, 2019 7:49 pm  

So which blokes did he mean? As most on the pitch are here for next season apart from westerman and paea

I dont think Sneyd and Connor work as a partnership, its almost as if the they are both waiting for the other to step forward and take charge or control the situation at times and it ends up looking really disjointed with Ellis recieving the ball when the team are set for a kick. Problems at the play the ball, or sneyd and connor not communicating?..

We massively feel sorry for ourselfs when we make a few mistakes and almost use it as an excuse to give up.

Voices in the pivots seem none existent, i spoke of sneyd and connor, but shaul was really bad today organising the defence. Jackson hastings ran amok he had 4 defenders just watching him at one point. With no orders given to close him down, the one with the kick was terrible nobody spoke or took charge, just an all round lack of communication.

Whos captain as nobody looked like chewing a few up behind the sticks, all stood gazing at salford with hands on hips. I saw connor annoyed and that was about it.

Agree with the satae usage, it was bizarre, first drive was strong, then we just didnt include him, again are there issues at the play the ball, as time and again i think wrong options are picked, i saw satae having to duck out the way when it was obvious he should of recieved it. Gave him one carry in his first spell, then came on for the last six minutes, bizarre

Need a very vocal leader , and connor back ro right centre asap

I'd like to see Radford given a five year contract. We're regularly sitting at the top table under Radders, we're currently joint second in the league. What's your panic?

Re: Salford (Home) : Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:01 pm  

I said a while back season would end in a whimper and we wouldn't finish in the play offs and got scoffed at. Thank god I'm in italy so didnt have to witness the dross but tbh its dross every game. Next year we have on paper a better side than 2016 but whilst initially optimistic I'm now starting to think we wont get anywhere near 2016
