I don't know why you didn't go for a drop goal after you kicked the 40/20.

The Rovers fan I watched the game with said the same to me at the time, that he should go for a drop goal. I said that wouldn't be the best idea tactically. They're already 2 scores ahead and in good field position. If they scored the drop goal, Salford would kick restart and have the chance to either go deep and hope for a mistake or go short and regain possession.

In hindsight, it might seem like they would have won had they gone for a one pointer, but the way that game went, Salford could easily still have scored twice and one of those might have ended up being converted rendering the drop goal pointless.

The first try of the two late ones he was in that much of a rush he didn't really attempt to kick it
