The ongoing problem of a lack of forward domination has been masked this season by Hastings and French scoring spectacular tries. Salford did their homework on both so nullified the Wigan threat.

Quote: Cherry.Pie "I think it's only fair to point out that Burgess was one of our most influential players in the victory over Huddersfield. He's clearly not had the pre-season we've have hoped for and it was said before he played a game that it would take a while for him to get up to speed. I don't know who it was who said Burgess has "never been as fit in years" but I think everyone is capable of seeing the situation for what it is. If he's going to be a success for us it's not going to happen immediately.

Clark was over-hyped, that much is obvious. There's plenty to work with but he hasn't improved our pack this year.

What I would say is that with Bullock not reappearing in the second half we had a fair few props not involved who would have something to add. Bullock, Flower, Partington and Clubb. The first 3 are, in my opinion, part of our best pack along with Burgess and Havard.

We struggled to make ground in attack but for me it's because we weren't dominant in defence. Partington and Flower are among our best defensive players. Byrne and Clark are not. Chuck Powell and Leuluai in the 13 role and we ended up with a pack that was going to get dominated.

Our full strength pack this year will be better than last year in my opinion, it's just that last night, for various reasons, we didn't have the best that we could offer.'"


It was his brother who said he hadn’t been as fit for years.
Injuries obviously caused problems during the game but even with a full pack e won’t be good enough.

Burgess does not appear to be getting fitter in fact his last 2 games he has the look and physicality of an old man. An old man with a wardrobe on his back. He simply isn’t good enough at the moment to make an improvement on last year. He should be training/playing 6 days a week to get fit that is if his body is capable of getting fit

I think that’s a pretty fair assessment

Where was our pack ?

We should have had that game closed down.............if we were struggling. But in the first half, we weren't.
Lam should have written the 'riot act' after that match. Sunday morning on the tackle bags for them.

I also don't really rate Farrell. Does he ever pass the ball ?

Jeez, it was a poor defeat but I find this astounding. He’s probably been the best back rower in superleague so far. He must pass at some point as he has 3 try assists (most of any forward). He also has 3 try’s (most of any forward), is 3rd in the whole league for tackles made, 4th for metres made (most of any forward), 6th for tackle busts (most of any forward) and 10th for clean breaks (most of any forward). He also sits 4th in the Man of Steel voting.

Wish a few others were that poor.

One of the most astounding things I’ve read on this forum, only just beaten by the injecting players with silicone suggestion.

Faz is one of our most consistent performers, is good in D and offers a continuous attacking threat. Most of the time his work goes under the radar which is unfair.

If he’s one of our poorest I’d love to be directed to our best. That player must be injured or something, surely such a world class star would be a name that just rolls off the tongue?

I'm presuming this was an alcohol inspired post?

Looking at the stats from Friday Faz made 130m and 40 tackles, so he went pretty well by the looks of things. One thing that stood out to me was the amount of ground Salford’s 1-5 made. Evalds 190m, the wingers both about 145m and Sarge and Welham about 140-150m. We clearly didn’t control those guys anywhere near well enough.

No, we didn't, although Marshall made good metres in an unshowy display.
