| People who moan about rotation saying things like "play your best team week in week out" wouldn't be happy if we did just that, were cruising at the top of the league in June, then had a squad full of exhausted players who lost the semi to Huddersfield, scraped over the line in third or fourth after losing a couple of games in August then got knocked out in the play offs.
Rotation is crucial and in a sport where finishing first isn't the be all and end all it is even more important. If we get passed Huddersfield we will have league games against Wigan and Saints, Wembley, and the play offs to look forward to from August onwards.
THAT'S when we need momentum.
I do think we rested too many players last night though, and I'm unhappy that I wasted £20 plus travel costs to watch it, and it will make finishing top two that little bit less certain - I think beating both Catalans and Saints when we play them will be crucial to that aim, but I still believe Smith is learning from last year and getting it right overall. Beating teams by 60 points routinely, finishing top, then ending up the way we did was heartbreaking but we can't have it all and our approach this season has been much more geared towards the end of the year rather than the middle of it.
I still believe finishing top two is a big advantage - SL history proves that regardless of last year's one off - but I honestly don't care if we finish first or second. I did last year because I had never seen us finish top but I have now and that's that. Winning at Old Trafford is the be all and end all and losing to Salford last night doesn't destroy that dream.

| Not good enough getting 48 put on us by Salford but nothing to worry about just one of those days. Salford are good in attack and we barely had any field position for 60minutes i think Myler's try was the first time we got near the try line second half. Rested a few to many players I think was a very young back line but the forwards didn't give them a chance anyway. What did people think of the stadium? Think i prefer the Willows the new stadium has a nice big main stand then 3sheds.

| Last night was a wake up call, or should be. That performance has been coming all season, bar 3/4 games. We rely too much on 3 players, Briers, Monaghan and Westwood, especially Briers. Can't blame squad rotation, as last night's team, bar Dwyer, are proven at SL level for Warrington. The main problem is we are an aging team, that is nowhere near last season's team and is in decline- formwise.
2 big games coming up, Catalans and Huddersfield, and don't be surprised if we lose both games, because the way we are playing, it is highly likely that we will.

| Glad to see Solomona back, but judging by his physique he's in the wrong rugby code. He should lay off the KFC..
Rock 'n' Roll.

Rotating is all well and good but not resting the whole nucleus of the team. All i can think is Tony Smith is putting himself under a lot of pressure with this system, if we bomb out of the play offs again after the poor season and constant squad changing then what will happen?

Never Waver!
The website is rubbish.
Why do we play a channel system.
Wainwright is rubbish.
Clarke is rubbish.
We must have a rubbish physio as all our players are injured more than everyone else's.
Why is our defence so poor.
What does Poching know about coaching outside backs.
