Quote: Twentyman "What chance did he have in putting a team together to compete with the Roosters? They are a team of stars...with a much bigger salary cap, they don't have to shop from the 'Oops' shelf like we do.
It was a shambolic performance, too many mistakes, poor composure but we have to get behind the lads because Cunningham isn't going anywhere. He's been given a long contract to try and build something. For whatever reason, but by looks of it, a lack of dosh, means that he's brought in a load of young lads like Owens and Fages to compliment the young lads who have come through the youth ranks like Savelio, Swift, Makinson, Lomax (when he comes back), Percival, Thompson, Greenwood, Richards & co.
Don't get me wrong, I hate seeing us like this but this is a longterm project, and no doubt there will be a few more drubbings here and there but slating the likes of Owens after a handful of games will shatter the lads confidence.'"
And whst about last week ? Nobody gave Salford a change against a team one of tbe favourites to win cups and team full of stars.
No excuse at all. The to roosters aren't full of stars like in the past, they hadn't played one single game this year, they flew 12,000 miles to play the game and played in conditions they ain't used to.
We are so boring it's unreal. One up rugby all the time. We even use our wingers and centres as props these days. We are poor in defence and shocking in attack.
