Quote: DEVILS2015 "Salford started off slowly and didn't handle the conditions very well, full credit to Rochdale though who defended excellently in the opening 20 minutes.
The game changed when Robert Lui was brought on and made an immediate impact with a great solo try. After that Salford always looked in control and Lui forever looked like he had bags of time on the ball and was accurate with both the boot and the ball in hand.
Other notable mentions go to Justin Carney who impressed on debut and will be causing an awful lot of problems to opposition defenses this season. Craig Kopczak who put in a solid performance and finally Matty Wilkinson who looks like he's got the potential to make more than a handful Super League appearances this season in the Hooker position. Tim Sheens rates academy product very highly I've been informed, I guess that tells us why Liam Hood was released early from his contract.
Overall a good afternoon. Next week against Featherstone we need to start faster, be a little bit more organised in defence and up the intensity. Lui will start.'"
Good summary Devils 2015..Lui impressed with both his awareness and kicking game and will be better for today's run out.. I think we have a real potent weapon in Carney .if only we had a centre who could exploit his potential...really like J Griffin ..good solid player..big unit ..strong in defence but in that first half in particularly the final pass was missing a lot of the time..know its early days...its knowing when to go yourself or make the space for the offload....maybe Vidot was earmarked for that role before his injury but thats definitely something to work on.
