I agree but think that Perry Boy has a bit of a point.
I like BMM but do you think that we are too predictable in how we use him and therefore opposition can plan for him? I'd like him to do bigger minutes, not only to spread the load in tiring teams out but to keep them guessing. A short ten minute window each half doesnt give them enough defensively to think about, three or four bullocking runs and if he's not gone over or caused real mayhem it's a case of see you later better luck next week.
Also I might get slaughtered for saying this, I might be inpatient or over optimistic, but, how long do we think we have to wait for Ben Currie to show up as an attacking force?

We've waited 4 years for Jack Hughes to do the same so 10 games for Currie is not outrageous. At least we know Currie has the skills to sport breaks and make space for a centre ...

Why loft the ball in the air???bang it low and hard you never know what the ball may do.more chance of a mistake....

Or variation.
I like the high ball. The higher you kick it, the longer it lingers, the more time the defender has something to think about!

I think that was my point Currie has all of skills and a rugby brain to use them whereas Hughes IMO has had to work harder and rely upon a work ethic for his place, solid.
I'm not asking for Currie to be dropped, far from it, the lad can have as long as it takes to hopefully get back to where he was pre injuries. My question was/is how long do we think that will be and will there become a point in time when it might be reasonable to expect a bit more?

| Got what we deserve!
Good grief.
Wire fans money is just as valuable than any other fans.
Why would I deserve any less than you?
I would also question the better team....however out played u have no argument....completely.

"were"
During, after and since the game I haven't heard any Wire fan say anything different.
But if we played you ten times, how many times would there be a similar result/performance.

Isn't the high ball used when too far out because the defending team have done a good job. Kicking the low ball to find a mistake comes from a good attacking set and close to the try line. We rarely get close enough on the 5th to kick for variation.

Absolutely, this happened on Friday because we defensively backed off from the start, and our go forward was not up to scratch. The result being, Salford kicked on the offensive, we kicked on the defensive.

Firstly, BMM in the Grand Final was the perfect example of how not to use him. He should be playing a lot more minutes. He showed at Salford he was capable of that. He's a lot better than a luxury.
As for Currie, expectations should be very low for this season. A lot of players that come back from long injuries seem to have an initial burst before struggling for a while, then eventually getting better. I think his minutes should be managed.

| Just seen Price's post match interview on the WG website. True, he does mention the "training well all week" cliché, but the context in which he says it needs to be seen. He looks extremely weed off, which is good to see, rather than the jokey smiley way defeats have been fobbed off in past years.

| Whatever he says in the press conference after a defeat, doesn't sound so bad, as we haven't had that many.
Once you start losing regularly, whatever you say just has the tendency to grate with fans.
If the Germans had won the Battle of Britain and invaded then "we'll fight them on the beaches" would have gone down like "we trained well all week".

| I was at this game and it was evident that our forwards didn’t cope very well with the hot conditions.
But in my view we really need to ditch that kit, because the big primrose hoops at the front of the jersey, and big primrose squares on the back of the shorts, just makes it look like the players have got big bellies and big backsides, which make big targets for the opposition to fire at.
