I was pleased when Langley got MOM. He's been quite justifiably caned on here for his performances this year, but he looked much better today both in defence and attack. The way he waltzed through for his second try was class.

To be honest, we were comfortable winners today, and the result wasn't in doubt from our opening 12 point burst onwards. But I'd like to see us being more ruthless and really putting Salford to the sword, whereas we seemed to over-complicate and end up letting them off the hook. We also let in a couple of soft tries at the end.

But a win is what was required, and we did that pretty easily really. I just don't think that the top teams will b quaking in their boots at the thought of playing us unless we can take a step up from today

Anyone know if Halley was kept off just a precaution? Hopefully just a tweak icon_razz.gifRAY:

Nothing too flash tonight, but very enjoyable all the same.
Langley was excellent today and Nero had yet another blinder. Halley looked to be limping pretty badly at the end, hope he is ok for Hull, but it didn't look good. Well played, who would have thought we would be here about 5 weeks ago?

Quote: Terry Monster "Thought Worrincy did really well to get back and stop the try after Platt and himself let the Salford man run right past them. Hmmm.
Must admit, I didn't think Worrincy of all people would catch him and then bundle him into touch!

clipped from Sporting Life - well spotted by Adeybull

Quote: dead leg "Halley went off with a "dead leg" 23 minutes into the match and played no further part, although he is expected to play at Hull.

"We did not want to risk him," said McNamara. "We got off to a flying start and had a reasonable lead so we sat him on the sidelines for the rest of the game but he should be alright for next week."'"

Craven Dave had already said the same in his piece a bit earlier, which is why I said "dead leg" in an earlier post. Assumed it must have been mentioned in the press conference. But felt happier once someone other than Craven had reported it!

Spoke to Dave himself said it felt a lot better already.

Quote: Cookie "Did anyone else notice that not only did Morisson's kids come on but also Jeffries' and Semi's. Is this a sign they are definately going? ie last chance for the kids to go on the pitch.

Likewise, at the end Menzies held Burgess's arm up and waved it as if he was waving goodbye!!!!!'"


Nero also had hid kids there so probably for morro, BJ maybe Semi, not Nero.

Menzies was pointing out a banner to Sam, who then waved at the people holding it, I have no idea what was on it though. Didint look like a guy playing his last game for us to me.

Quote: Adeybull "Entertaining game...although we tried to be too clever a few times and coughed up possession as a result. A better team would have caned us for that, although doubt we would have played that game against a better side so likley its academic. But there was some really slick play today, and I suspect a few playoff sides will be seriously hoping we still trip up at the last hurdle.

This new forward we seem to have signed a few weeks ago, name of Langley, is proving a cracking buy - we could have done with him earlier in the season! Although the work has always been there. Sykes showed why he is a zillion percent better at 6 than Jeffries - or anyone else we have, for that matter - when he had to revert to full back.

All round good workman-like performance with some flashes of something rather more than that, including from the scapegoat group. Salford did not do themselves any favours though with the messing around at the PTB - although we seemed to get some decisions for a change too. What was all that handbags in the scrum near the ends all about? Just hope Halley's dead leg (assuming that's what it is) doesn't rule him out for next week.

Well done Cas. Once again everything has gone our way this weekend. All the permutations we have agonised over on here these last few weeks have now whittled down to just the one - we beat Hull, Stains beat Cats, we get 8th. Simples!

Good to finish at Odsal for 2009 ona a high and with a flourish, and with a good send off for those who are leaving - whether announced yet or not.'"


Saves me some writing that, that pretty much sums up my thoughts, cheers icon_thumb.gif

Good game, great to see the Bulls do well. Id just add that it was also good to see Godwins surge in form continue, I thought he was excellent again today.

The hand bags was because of the Salford No 8 putting his hand on Lynchs shoulder as the front row was ready to pack down, Lynch knocked his hand off his shoulder, No 8 put it back, etc, etc, Lynch shoved him pretty hard and then the No 8 retailiated and the handbags flew. After that was when he made himself a target for the flying Sam!

Saved me some writing too, I agree with most of it!

Good to see a bit of desire again, although much to improve on!!

My thoughts

[list[*Generally entertaining, not perfect but plenty of big plays (Worrincy's redeeming cover tackle the pick for mine). That game needed winning and we had the job done well before half time.[/*
[*Good to acknowledge Robbie, shame Morro didn't get more of a nod.[/*
[*If you're one of the people who booed Platt for sensibly steering away from touch on the second tackle rather than going for the corner, you need to take a look at yourself. When Halley dropped it cold, no one said squat. get over your obsession with seeing Platt f up. The bloke's clearly trying his best and came up with several good pieces of play (though Salford's last try indicates there's still work to be done).[/*
[*Who's the fan with Shenton on the back of his shirt? What's that about?[/*
[*Lots of references to Burgess maybe leaving in the prog.[/*
[*Nero was going off after the game and McNamara appeared to send him back out.[/*
[*If you miss how RAB was a month and a half ago, well rlthisrlis near as dammit a carbon copy.[/*
[*Did I mention I was back?[/*[/list

when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg



Are you going to the Hull match then af?
Or is that a daft question?
