Not a good performance, thought we started ok and scored a decent try. Then seemed to become very scrappy. Though quite a few of the team haven't had much game time yet, which won't help

Twittering during the game works as notes for my match report and I referenced how Salford were putting Sam under pressure on the last tackle time and time and time and time again. Now Sam did put in a couple of good kicks in during a spell ten minutes up to half time but apart from that, I thought our last tackle options were bloody awful in comparison. It was same at Hull KR I thought - they were showing us how to create pressure on the last and it's been to our credit so far that we've defended them well.

It's a long time issue for me. I'd argue in the tight games we've lost to Warrington in last two years at DW Stadium, Lee Briers last tackle kicking has been the difference. Most clubs have a player who you'd give the ball to on the last, we don't and it'll cost us at the crunch I reckon.

Several kicks found the floor last night. A few found touch. A few found the wing/fullback who made about 5 yards before being smashed.

There were far more pressing things than our kicking game like the fact we dropped so much ball.

That was my take on it. The props in particular put quite a bit of ball down. From memory, Flower (twice), Lima, Eric and Mossop all dropped it.

Field position (or lack of it) was the main concern and more to do with Dropped ball (And a few fw passes) than the kicking game.
