Clubb got injured after playing about 15 minutes, maybe less, and never returned. Had ice on his top thigh/hip area

Leeds have been head and shoulders above the rest but they are still a lot poorer than they were 4/5 years ago.
Maguire, Burrow, Sinfield, Peacock, JJB, Leuluai, Albert etc are all older and worse than during Leeds peak.
When you then factor in they had Gareth Ellis and Keith Senior as well as younger versions of the above it looks to me like they've been hit by the decline as well.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Leeds will be getting some hard slaps over the next couple of years..

| Just watched the game. Actually quite a decent contest, and I don't think we should be too dispirited. Salford look unrecognisable from the rabble that got hammered by Saints early in the season, and we put in a hell of a shift after Friday. Hampshire was terrific, Tierney was good, and Tautai looked far better than I'd seen him before. Sadly, Williams' crucial indecisions, as others have said upthread, (amongst other things) cost us. Bateman, who had another great game, will be a big loss. The bloody fool.

| I felt the decision to take the two points to go 8-0 up was the wrong decision. We should have carried and gone for the try or forced another set of six. We did the same against leeds and that backfired too. Going for the two instead of going for it must be a psychological advantage for the defending team!

Logan has done ok for me this season but there are clearly other reasons why Logan is being used from a tactical point of view.
SW often likes to time the MM interchanges to coincide with what the opposition are doing, especially if they have an impact type forward like Mosoe at Saints and its been pretty effective so far.
Stats aside I think MM adds so much to the side in terms of the fear factor and allowing him to rest when the opposition enforcers are doing the same can help us.
