Perhaps there was a mind games element however we had 12 players at training during the week which would suggest a few that played tonight were not 100‰.

At risk of repeating myself I think it is more the positions where Salford's injuries have occurred that has done the damage for us. At least they should all be fresh later in the season.

Additionally Godwin isn't Salford's player either!!!!

Most teams have players unavailable for aspects of training until Wednesday/Thursday/Friday as they're recovering from knocks in the previous game. That's what your physios and conditioners are for. And that's why, at Leeds anyway, there is only 1 short team training session before Wednesday in the week.

For the Hudds v Leeds game, Watkins, Delaney, Ablett, Cuthbertson & JJB were all suffering from knocks/injuries before the game. Im sure Huddersfield and other clubs had a similar amount too.

I forgot Hadley, Lancaster and Logan, so that is 10 players out.

I suppose "fine" depends on whether you place any importance on missing a first choice winger, both first choice centres, both first choice halfbacks, first choice hooker, a first choice prop and two first choice backrowers. Add a fullback playing out of position on one leg receiving treatment on the run for the full game because he was less inured than others, and having your second choice hooker returning from injury before he should have been. Forget the number of injuries, it's the significance of them to the team that's bitten Salford. Hopefully the experience will be good for those who have filled in and shown up fairly well.

I must bring up Saints again , as they had a similar injury crisis over Easter and you didn't hear them asking for postponements. It's what squad depth is for.

Did Marw run the water?
