| Two points is two points. Not a great game so glad to come away with the win after some poor defensive efforts for each of their tries.
Thought both matches we've been far too reliant on the left side for in attack. Only after Hampshire came on did we go right side. Liking the look of Hampshire a lot, we look a lot better when he's on the field. We were very flat before his arrival

| It was an old school game on a cold, dark night. You can forgive big Aussie forwards on nights like that. We looked the more competent side for a lot of it. We just didn't kill the game off enough, which gave them a sniff and so kept them going.
I admired the confidence not to go for the repeated two-pointers in the first half, but a more confident side perhaps would have kept the scoreboard ticking. It was almost as if we thought we won't win unless we get 18 points ahead.
Happy enough though. We looked good for a lot of the game and we ground out a win. That's what good sides do.

I enjoyed it, apart from the tenseness. I don't mind a bit of old school, and the outcome was never certain.

| A close tough game, which Chezzer & the boys will have taken a lot more from than last weeks. As stated previously that last pen against Fafita was a sickener as it had been going on all game.
Leeds were no way near being the best team last year but they found a way to win close games. We all know how close we came in several games last year which with a different result would have seen us top 2.
We got 2 competition points last night & everyone knows we can & must improve, but credit to a tough Salford outfit. I think some people were just expecting them to rollover for us. Judging by results so far this weekend it looks like a few teams went into last week not fully prepared with a few poor performances being shown.
We are 100% so far & the lads have shown plenty of commitment albeit with room for improvement. Let's just take what we have so far eh?

| I think when the tracks dry up you'll see trinity at their best. Absolutely monsterous pack, a good bench who will all add something. Fliers on each flank with 2 half backs that compliment each other well. I genuinely think you can top the table as long as you avoid a huge injury list.

It would be interesting to see your list of great wingers who have been able to defend well when needed to, instead of blaming the winger maybe you should look for the reason as to why he's been left out of position from other players defensive misreads, just saying like.

| Quote: bren2k "Another example of switching off in the middle part of the game - and too many penalties; although as is Mr Child's wont, some of them were a bit baffling - particularly the one near the end for Big Dave not playing the ball correctly; watch it back - he played it exactly the same way as most players do, in most matches.
Hey ho - not the best to watch, but it had some grit; and Miller's try was a peach. The table will say 2 from 2 - that's all that matters.'"
Child in harsh treatment of Trinity shocker
We should probably put a big "X" on the calendar, as we haven't won too many games with that clown in charge.
We were pinged for a number of "head high" tackles and yet the one on Johnstone, right in front of the touch judge got nothing.
Child is a buffoon, and does seem to have some kind of grievance against Trinity .

Indeed, the three inside Johnstone grouped together leaving him defending the centre position otherwise there would've been a huge gap on the inside.

| Tough game, we ended up playing at Salford’s pace instead of dictating the game... for me we need to create more chances and find a way to unleash TJ more... I’d be looking to bring Arundel in.

It wouldnt have mattered who was playing centre.
Our problem was turning the ball over when in possession and apart from early in the first half, either not completing our sets or not finishing them off on our terms. Even the Miller try was of a poor kick from Hampshire.
Set completion and penalties were killing us.
Having said that, defensively we were really strong in the middle albeit our line speed slowed in the second half.

He did well to get any sort of kick away after receiving a dreadful pass He had to stretch for at foot level.

The concern is coached of other teams could watch the video of this game and exploit that, if we don't fix it'"
Youve got a bit of goldfish memory on show. All wingers get caught out and Johnstone less than most, end of! Why the need to knock a great player on one defesive laps comeon serioulsy - do you panic la lot in real life?
It was an ugly win in which the opposition turned up and we couldn't quite make it work, so what. You don't need great performances at this point of the season you just need wins.

| After rewatching the game, thought that England was the best forward on the pitch. Obviously Pauli needs time to settle & I think he will once he has gained fitness and the ground gets harder. Thought Rocky sped the game up when he came on too.

| Thought Reece did very well against junior sau and nullified one of Salford’s biggest threats.
Just wish we would get in the faces of the opposition playmakers more instead of letting them run across the defensive line without a hand laid on them. That’s where the gaps were created when Salford opened us up.
