| Best team won, too many of our star players were anonymous. Just hope Salford can win it now.

| Our run of 9 games undefeated was built upon skilful handling and fast backs, both of which were removed from our armoury by the todays weather. The coach and the players haven't suddenly lost their ability and skills. Today's game was lottery, we just happen to have been dealt a bad hand.

You do realise that it tends to rain a lot in England?
Basing your club's whole strategy on only being able to perform in dry conditions is both very naive and very poor coaching.

Hate to break it to you but if you can't play in Grand Final weather, you won't win any Grand Finals.

| No doubt Salford played the conditions better than we did, and no complaints about the result.
However, poor selection has cost us twice within a week - Tuesday we dropped too many from a team on a great run, and today we played players out of position to accommodate Ashton which Price clearly realised by taking him off - too late.
Basic errors from a coach who should know better.

As I said it was a lottery.
Do you think that Salfords 2 point win indicates they were significantly better than us?.Did none of the tries scored have anything to do with chance? Were, you complaining about our style of play when we were 10 points up going into the last quarter?

Did you pick up on that error before KO?

It wasn't a lottery. It was a rugby match played in wet conditions. This wasn't the first time a game has been played in the rain. It won't be the last.
The reason we lost is that we were unable to adapt to the conditions. That is in a large way down to the coach's tactics and team selection.
We are the classic example of the flat track bully - All looks great when everything goes our way, a bit of adversity and players go hiding and any semblance of tactical nous goes out of the window.
I sincerely hope that Price can turn it round and we can get a GF win. My point is that, if he doesn't then he has had a fair shot for 3 years and should make way for someone else.

If we were totally outplayed for 80 minutes you may have had a point. However, your argument falls apart when you consider that we were leading for 75 of the 80 minutes.

| I think Price seemed overconfident in his pre-match interview. I thought that although you had most of the play you were ineffective and reliant on big mistakes from Salford for most points. Your defence was very poor - Salford seemed to score nearly every time they got to your end of the field. Didn’t seem to have a logical game plan or any real redirection.

| The biggest brain fart of selection by Price, in the most important of games, since TS in the GF vs Pies.
2 excellent vessels in both seasons, to have the skippers....
TS, too many Forwards, loosing Ratchford leaving us without a rudder, throttled up vs Price, too many backs, loosing Clark left us without an outboard motor using oars!

That would imply that they make errors on purpose or that I knew more about the game than a professional player.
