He's a bad defender who was at fault for all their tries, his try was a 2m flop-over and he's a lifelong Saints fan who dreams of playing for us.

Sadly Dan has been Hyped up far too much by his agent/management and now believes that he is far better than he really is, his tackling and defence are still weak. I thought he was in the bag for Wigan, unless they changed their mind after the semi-final.

it's not uncommon for their match reporters to give out sympathy points in that competition.

It's been discussed with sadler on the other rl forum a couple on times, with not much response from him

We towelled them for 70 out of 80 minutes.
Our left flank of Manu, Meli & Swift were making breaks at will at one point. Any of those would have been worthy MoM (imo in front of LMS and Walmsley).

Its a common problem that we like to pat the loser on the back. Someone mentioned that Terry O'Connor was on SL Fulltime and kept saying how Salford (I think) never gave up, well done to them, even though they got 70 put past them.
I was watching a game the other week were Hull (I think) scored a lovely long range try, but the commentators just wanted to bang on about how Danny Kirmond unsuccessfully chased all the way back.

Very much so, that's exactly the sort of thing they'll give it for, back in 11 when we were toweling sides nearly every week, you could guarantee the opposition would have someone getting the one point as they made a half break against us, it was bull.

The biggest example of this is the 8 team playoff system, of course. I'm surprised we hadn't expanded it to 10 or even 12 teams, just so more people could join in.

Soon they'll be giving everyone a superleague ring, just for taking part.
