I'm confused.... is dual reg good or bad this week?

The Two SALFORD lads?

Boy did we need that today as that was our first win of any kind since last September against Workington!
Adam O'Brien looked class but more importantly we played as a team and cut out those silly errors and penalties, 2 apart.
Ok Sheffield are a pale shadow of their former self but we put them to the sword, we owed them one well three as they did us 3 out of 4 times last season.
We need to keep it going next week at Rochdale as this is a tough league we need all the points we can get!

I went to the game expecting us to loose and I was totally wrong.

A simple game plan and three different players helped but the lack of errors and simple rugby was exactly what was needed...and it worked well. AOB just moved us around the park at speed and with accuracy.

I think it shows again how a few players can change fortunes at this level and how sad it is we spent to much last year.

Just about sums up my thoughts.Boyle impressed me for first time too abeit against a powderpuff seagulls pack.

Finding the quality is not easy. AOB is a Super league hooker and we are fortunate to have him for a month.

also a lot better conditions than the week before.

You are certainly right about how difficult it is to find quality. I'm not sure if AOB is a Super League hooker (although he was superb for us and also against us last year) as the Giants don't class him in their top "two" and I'm told they were looking to loan him out for a year.

Distribute the TV, Sponsorship and International cash for the good of the game as a whole, DR might then go away.
Alas Turkeys don't vote for xmas and the power will stay with free loaders at Red Hall, TV Companies and SL CEO's.
Wilkinson went better this week, and the other lad too, a good old loan deal was the difference though, makes us realise we have been starved of an influential hooker since the Penky/Bob and Gleeson days, they take a lot of pressure off the pack and halves when they can shoot from dummy half, distribute and keep the opposition guessing.

As has been said above, Ryan B had a much better game and looked up for it, probably more so in the first half. One of the big differences for me was the speed at which the ball was distributed from dummy half. Pinging it across the field at speed makes a big difference as it brings into play opposition players who aren't expecting to need to get into the tackle quite so soon. As such, it contributes to their fatigue factor as they all have more work to do.

The other difference was the weather. We seem to be a team that does far better in good conditions. I guess that's the same for most teams, but we don't seem able to grind it out when conditions are poor.
