it a shame the last 10 mins where not the full 80 mins it is worrying to see a squad of players looks so uninterested

all standing around , no one running on to the ball , no one backing up, only a few players looked like they wanted to win, hock being one of the best players on the park

chase had one of them days where nothing was working so let just pass the ball to the next man but this was expected of chase

the speed of platt when running back to have the widnes winger skip past him it was like slow motion credit for managing to tackle him tho

expected more from meli near the end being a ex saints player who has been involved in many last second try's to just look clueless when the ball came to him thinking the game was over because the hooter went

would not be to bad if we where seeing improvements but there is something going on behind closed doors

Gareth Hock doesn't believe this was good enough if the Daily Star is to be believed! www.dailystar.co.uk/rugby-league ... tyn-Harris

I am not disagreeing with your post.I was just analyzing the recruitment and retention and how it has panned out.
It has to be hindsight because I tend not to make predictions and leave difficult tasks to the experts.

I don't think Julie Stott is a friend of the club - she assisted on the Malcolm Alker book,so may have a jaundiced view.
Hinting at unrest is the last thing the coaching staff need.
It never rains - it pours.

From a supporters perspective it’s encouraging to read that Harris and Hock have the hunger for Salford to succeed and aren’t reluctant to say it as it is.

They haven't looked like a tight unit so far this year and we don't want mercenaries or slackers at this club. It will be most interesting to see if there is a positive responce on Saturday in terms of effort for the full 80 minutes and enthusiasm. Another key indicator will be the players body language which was heavily criticised by Earl Crabree summarising on radio five live last Sunday.

I think this newspaper article certainly puts every player under the microscope now, especially with the match being on TV.

I have used my limited brain power to try and establish who the players referred to in the Hock article may be,and why.I cannot work it out.

Salford Red Devils and Junior scored a try.
Meli appears to be carrying an injury and Chase was his usual unpredictable self.
Theo has had game time and Mozza was MoM in the first home game for Harris.
Tomkins brought to the club by Harris and Tasi scored his first try for the club.
Lee was his usual industrious self - and appeared to be the most disappointed at the end of the game.

Smith could have been silly and unprofessional after being rested for the Leeds game - but the side picked up on his introduction and our points started picking up.
Griffin didn't appear any different and Rapira and Puletua may not be 100% fit.

I think Gareth Hock may have put himself under pressure for consistent 80 minute efforts himself.
That should make things interesting...
