108-12

Good run out for both teams and not a bad game for us speccies.
As TFFM said couple of blips for their scores but that was contrasted with some good goal line defence for the better part.
Managed to stay with them when the pace went up a notch and a bit more composure in attack and we could had another score or two.

Good hit out but I always find you can never tell much from friendlies tbh. Tackling was good to keep Carney and Sau quiet. Few of our players looked unfit though compared to last season.

Thought it was a good showing yesterday. I’m not sure we looked unfit, a few were having their first major run out and the game was played a really good pace especially for a friendly. Salford clearly had more punch so managed to dictate the pace of the game better, slowing our plays whist playing at a quicker tempo when they had the ball. I thought both our wingers went well, I’d say Rob was MOM for the amount of carries and yards he made as well as being very solid in defence alongside Heaton (and Grix in the first half). That was more like when he was with us under Calland, where our wingers took on a lot of the graft to help our forwards out. We need to carry that effort and commitment into the league.

I’d say main area to work on is getting to the last tackle or a decent kick. We need to build pressure more, try to force repeat sets or at least turn the ball over near the opponent’s line rather than panic passes. But definitely happy with that performance.

Seems a decent effort and 970 is a pretty healthy crowd,considering.

Good hit out it was a Friendly but not so friendly on the pitch both teams stuck it to each other there were 3 players of their who came off injured and we had a couple as well.
We still need to do better in attack but like others have said our defense was pretty good two lapses apart.
