NO

I keep up trying to summon the courage to watch that game again, analytically this time, but haven't yet managed it. However, a simple answer to your question about dropsy would be down to the pressure put on by the respective defensive sides.

Matty Smith got Sky MoM because of his tactical kicking. Fair enough, but he seemed to have ages to think about his kicks and place them where he wanted because we weren't pressuring him. Maybe, on the basis of last season's game, we'd decided to shut down Holdsworth and forgot all about Smith?

As I said, I'll try and take another look.

I'm not a disciplinarian by any means but I think, if this is true, Lamont Bryan should be disciplined for forgetting his boots for training. Its a bloody stupid thing to do. Oh, and whoever said he was one of our 'stand out players' this year, needs their head examined. The lad's all heart but he ain't exactly Brad Fittler.

McDermott lost his touch when he lost the dressing room and came out with increasingly bizarre soundbites in press conferences. Powell seems too close to the dressing room and unable to instigate change. Neither is a satisfactory state of affairs; However I remain of the opinion that to be judged properly, Powell needs two full seasons.

The results will be the same. I won't catch any because she won't throw it anywhere near me, as we all know women can't throw! What's your point?

Broncion! Now there was the other side of things, the Salford defence sprinted out of the line at around the ruck!
we ambled!And yep yr right we dont seem to be able to pick out the kicker and pressure him! The one time we did, the charge down resulted in a lucky bounce and a try hey ho

As for dropping Monty I cant argue that its a stupid error for a bloke that wears rugby boots to do his job forgets em
Am not saying he is the shining light of the team, but he has enthusiasm and want to play, look at his try against Cas, would you agree if andy ellis had forgot his boots at training, dont let him play the next week as punishment!!! there are other way
