Indeed, because they are supremely well coached. Juat think what he could do with our squad.

Tell you what though, that Inu knock on in the air was a horrible call against us. And I'm sick of that not being able to drag once a player finally gets up after laying prone with no intention of doing anything to play.

I think that was the interview of a man who knows he has to now deliver a SL title, otherwise he's losing his job.

That was chuffing awful. We didn't field a single kick with any authority until Ratchford took that bomb in the last five minutes; every other effort looked like we had never seen a funny-shaped ball before.

I am tempted to moan about Austin and his Hollywood passes when we did make breaks. But to be fair to him, at least he was in the game trying to do.things. Some senior players, like Widdop and D Clark, largely let the game pass them by and made no impact whatsoever.

Salford were deserved winners, took every chance they had.

That didnt take long.

Why?... Do you think Price can, or should, survive not delivering the title this season?

If you do, then I'd suggest it's the likes of you who are the problem, because you are content accepting mediocrity.

This is the right question to be asking.

I’m not in the Price Out squad but Watson is a tempting prospect.

I don't know if there was an issue with D Clark but we had to wait for the arrival of Walker before we looked dangerous at the play the ball.

All the good feeling I had towards Gelling has evaporated as well, he was totally ineffective.

Fair play to Salford I said earlier on in the week they’re our bogey side, Watson has us figured out. That was one of the worst games I’ve ever seen Austin have for us. His decision making besides his try were atrocious. Bullet passes in the rain. I will be sad when Widdop goes his infield kicking beats the bombs Austin puts up every day of the week and that kick out on the full was laughable! Did he really want to get back to Wembley? Finally not making enough of Salford not being able to hold onto the ball for the 20 minutes after the restart absolutely killed us.

Don't be daft. Austin was miles ahead of Widdop but Austins mistakes were more noticeable because he actually put himself in the game.

Austin was good? You’re having a laugh Widdop was the only one with the Nowse to grubber it in goal Austins head went in another big game for us

Really Mrs Widdop, what you doing for Gareth's tea tonight?

Austin did make some dodgy decisions but you have to be in the game to try and win it and Widdop was a passenger, in a game that was crying out for his experience and.game management. How about trying to catch a kick off with the ball 10 inches over tour head in a.monsoon? THAT was the game changing moment.

I have been firmly in the price out camp before but to suggest that his head should roll if we don't win the grand final now is laughable. We have been brilliant since the restart aside from a couple of games, the conditions today were awful and we slost by 2 points, yes it's incredibly disappointing and we lost narrowly with a team of kids midweek. We have no divine right to win the grand final it's the performances that are important because thats what gives us a chance and belief, recently the performances have been good. It's too early to get the pitchforks out yet IMO.

I said midweek. Momentum is sometimes more important than freshness and I think that's been the case this week especially with the manner of their midweek win.

Congratulations to Salford, they were always chasing the game, never gave up and didn't resort to panic rugby when ten points behind.

Price was hired to win us the big one. He’s won us a Challenge Cup and has coached us to play some good rugby. He’s had a few goes at it and hasn’t brought it in yet. If he doesn’t, what’s the harm in looking around?

I think he can do it and I do think he will. But if he can’t, I can’t understand why we’d keep him.

Team selection way off the mark, was rather arrogant fielding another half at lose forward for starters given the torrential conditions. Starting Ashton in such a big game is far to much of a risk to take, as he’s still raw and learning his trade in the side. We should be slowly blooding Ashton into the side not being selected over Ratchford, who brings a lot more from FB from an overall team perspective.

Far to many errors from the backs, Ashton, Widdop, Gelling, Austin. We don’t need to be taking high risk plays just play the percentage in those conditions & play for field position. We became nervous and didn’t look settled at all throughout that game.

Hasn’t Price and the coaching staff learned anything from wet weather Grand Final appearances already? Mind boggles..

In terms of Price, yes we have been playing well since reatart and yes we narrowly got beat today and it could have gone either way.

But it's taken him two years to get the team playing with any flair and the squad is an [iembarassment[/i of riches, and embarassment is the key word - I actually look at our squad and squirm in disbelief at some performances and our inability to win the big one.

Cooper, Hill, Ratchford, Austin & Clarke won't be around forever and in some cases will be past their peak relatively soon.

Yes, given the squad, if we fail to win the GF we only need to make one signing next year, and that's Ian Watson.

We, as a club, have never been ruthless enough with our coaches. Too much acceptance of failure.

I do want Price to win us this year's title. However, if he doesn't, then I think 3 years is ample time and we should take decisive action and bring in someone else.

Absolutely. How long do we wait otherwise?

The difference with Saints and Wigan is they have that killer instinct that we seem to lack.

Especially when you have the likes of Wilkin going on about the money Warrington have got, seems we can’t even buy a Grand Final win

Just poor all round, speed counts for nothing in this weather, Ashton has speed and that's about it. Today was a forwards game. I would leave Ashton out rather than moving Ratchford from his best postion. Ratch had a great game at 13 so why Trial Austin there. Price just doesn't have the killer blow in him for me, he can do a lot with a team but not enough.
Some weird comments on here taking aim at Gelling saying he was awful and ineffective, take out the favoritism and take off the rose tinted specs and you'll see he did a hell of a lot of hard work today. Took in shed loads of drives and helped out the forwards.
Daryl Clark was none existant, Mamo, Charnley, Widdop and Ashton were none existant and ineffective, but yeah lets pin point Gelling who worked is butt off today.

It's likely because he got driven back a lot but with nobody behind helping him out I'm not sure what else is expected in slippery conditions. I agree, Gelling did a shift.

No rose tinted glasses, his defence today wasnt up to it. I'm not just talking about the try we conceded where 6ft plus Gelling watched someone else jump for the high ball. Watch his first contact and positional play. He looked out of sorts today to me

Got what we deserved..... #### all
Poor team selection
Too many off key performances
Rudderless in the middle, and, I don't know about a [iplan b[/i, we didn't even have a [iplan a[/i.
Complacency from too many players. I saw more commitment from a group of youngsters on Tuesday night, than a team of internationals/MoS/NRL/marquee signings.

Now is when you earn your money, Price. Not an 8 /9 game mid season run. Let's not kid ourselves, bar a hard fought cup win against the plastic scousers, that run was made against mid table fodder, some of them scraped wins. Between 2010 and 2013, we were perceived as [iflat track bullies[/i. We weren't. We were just better than the rest, but couldn't get the GF win.
Now, we're on a 2 game losing run.

The ball is in your court, Price.
