Not seen the Salford squad as of yet

fax blue devils 18 Salford red devils 36

Connor limped off in the Widnes game. No idea how bad it was but assume that's why he's absent!

Updated I had missed the bottom section

Looking at both squads I think it will be a very close game, I'm going for a score of Fax 10 v Salford 44.

Can't make it tomorrow, but happy if we give them a good runaround for most of the game. It would be good if we can a) keep pretty much to the 1st team squad, and b) keep this one close (for confidence).

A couple of friendlies to tinker with playing the juniors, this one should be about prepping for the Fev game.

108-12

I've not seen any reports or scores from today's Fax v Salford game, what was the score?

6-13.

Thought the lads played very well this afternoon. Barring 2 blips for their tries the defence was solid and showed glimpses of good ball handling skills.

All I can say to that score is well done Fax, see you all in a couple of weeks.

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.
