Competed well overall against last season's semi finalist. Few things I took from the game:

- They've got the best player in the league,which made a massive difference.
- Errors at bad times cost us (Charnley knock on)
-Played within ourselves for the most part. Seemed to throw the ball a bit more at 18-4 down, when it looked like the game was over. Got the penalty try then went back to one-up rugby when it seemed we had momentum.
- O'brien had a stinker.
- Need to learn how to get the best out of Lam. Needed to get the ball to him as much as possible, but got too obvious and easy to read in the second half.
- Ipape looked like he was carrying an injury. Ankle strapped and not his usual self, hopefully not too serious.
- Missing another big middle, hopefully Ava can get up to match fitness sooner rather than later.

All that being said, if the ref correctly calls a Salford knock on in half way around the 30 minute mark, we may have 2 points on the board now. We follow this up with two difficult away games but, bold prediction time, I think we'll win one of them (providing we have a fit squad)

Quote: Deeeekos "I agree with a lot of the above as regards position switches, if only to try something out.

Overall I'm not overly disappointed, in some aspects I might view it as two points dropped but I think the winds weren't entirely fair.

I think the result was a forgone conclusion as they scored two quick back to backs right at the end of the first half, and I think if it wasn't for the hooter we would have been on the end of a few more.

A word on Charnley, bar his unfortunate error, which was also at the worst time; he really did stand out for me, if for nothing more than compared to his performances last season.

We got a player with a proven track record going up against part-time players and he seemed to be full of doubt and never wanted to back himself. Maybe he wasn't match fit (but for a whole season?) or was just coasting a bit, he certainly looked happy enough, but Friday night was a different player; speed, strength, aggression. I very much liked what I saw.

Was worried Amone might get a retro ban for his tip/yellow at the end but it seems a £250 fine is all, because we certainly need his grunt in the middle.'"


Last season Charnley never looked as if he felt part of the team, which was understandable as he came in late to an established winning team, this season he looks more settled and happier having been here from the start and good pre season, bonding sessions etc

Quote: glow "Why move Hardaker? Who in IMO was our best player? Yes he’d be a threat at centre but from FB he can pop up on both edges. And he definitely shouldn’t be moved just to accommodate O’Brien, who if he’s not good enough to play HB (which he wasn’t on Friday but everyone has an off game) then we should play Reynolds until Mellor is fit.'"

I’d suggested we move him due to the fact that that this current team is crying out for some width and stretching teams. Being a dominant player he would demand the ball. O Brien hasn’t done anything in 3 games to suggest Friday was just an off night.
O’Brien better at FB than 6 no question, an in turn Reynolds would come in at HB

Hardaker can demand the ball on both sides from FB, I agree about O’Brien, so just drop him and play Reynolds. For me we lacked width as everything of note was going through Lam but Salford quickly grasped that and loaded the side he was on with defenders, preventing any width.

Maybe I’m being a tad harsh on Chamberlin wanting him swapping out and that was the point I was trying to make. We are when all said and done only 2 friendlies and 1 game in.
We knew we was losing Nene early on but the impact of Ferguson leaving so late has put even more pressure on Chamberlin to perform without a truly class act at the side of him

A word on Charnley, why did he cut inside towards the defender rather than backing himself to beat him on the outside?
