I think his record speaks for itself and this is absolutely right, an absolutely nothing game in freezing conditions probably wasn't the best one for him to come back to.

If anyone is going to question his talent based on this game then they meed to give their head a good shake.

Yet time and time again we have seen that the this pedigree that we seem to put players on because they have had a good NRL career is setting them up to fail - Who would have questioned Kevin Locke`s talent when joining Salford? Or the like of Inu at Catalan? Until I have seen them perform and make an impact for there club in SL nothing else really matters...

Fans of other clubs bang on about Wakefield not been able to attract/afford these types of player well quite frankly I am glad that we cannot... Give me the likes of Tupou and Fifita any day over Uate and Merrin - They will be on a fraction of the salary and turn up with the right attitude the majority of the time.

This was a pre season friendly. A warm up. Can't take too much from these games and it's a good job or we'd have a 25 page thread on here about goal kicking. Come the season see if our bogey side comes good, or hopefully an easy 6 points for us.

They are not totally meaningless in that you can gauge fitness and sharpness to a degree.

I thought the Leeds, Hull and Hudds games were played to a fairly competitive level, more so than most friendlies I've seen through the years. The tackling in the Hull game was especially brutal, no doubt a side effect of last years drubbing.

Yes they aren't real games as such but I thought these were three very useful work outs indeed and that we should with a bit of luck hit the ground running at London.

Also only one casualty, which is pretty good going when you consider that Hull and Wigan have generally lost half a team before most seasons even start.

Huddersfield 14 Salford 34! Losing at home to Salford, first game of the season....

Before we played Hudds in friendly some of their fans were of the opinion they were far superior to us in every position.

I feel that shudds will struggle this year, just watched the try’s, Grix’s positioning and defence was top notch as it was as Wakey

ish.....there's gonna be tears over at the shudds board...

What sort of team did he eventually select, said on teletext he'd only named 18 due to injury. Not good this early in the season. great result for Salford but they have no depth at all and will struggle when they start to pick up a few injuries.

Wonder where gianttown is tonight............

It would have been past his bedtime

Dunno what you're all going on about him for, its not like it gives a 5h1t about Shudds.
That account is dead until its narcissistic creator needs more attention, at which point it'll declare some other equally ludicrous trolling pov........and so it continues.
