Quote: The All New Chester Wire "And there may be cause and effect there. One way or the other. Salford's defence was excellent.'"
I really don't think it was excellent. I would put the core of our failings down to individuals wanting to win the game from their own plays. We had the posession and territory, but the choce, and execution of
kicking game was way off. I don't think there will be many more opportunities to say Briers, Monas and Hodgson all had a poor time with the boot. To top this off, Grix and Myler really did contribute with some God awful kicks, too.
With the weight of posession in the last twenty minutes, there was ample opportuity to build pressure. How many droputs did we force? Conversely Salford's kicking was excellent. In fact, I would say Salford gave us a lesson in wet weather rugby.
