Either way its 2 teams on the up and I am really looking forward to the game. Your right though, try and play through the middle we will lose. Played expansive against Wigan in the pre season from tackle 2 onwards. Got the ingredients for a great match with big ben, frank the tank, the tank on the flank etc.

Salford were taking far more risks in the last 20 too because the result was already gone so they were chancing their arm with offloads and probably threw more passes in the last 20 mins than the previous 60 mins. If the game was close I doubt they would have approached the last 20 this way too.

Totally agree. First game so still cobwebs to blow away.think to much being read into last 20 min.

True. Plus on dry fields in a few months I think salford will do some damage. Backline halves and couple of others will really thrive when they're all tuned in and on harder ground. Going to struggle when playing through forwards. They're 2 big men shy of being really decent imo that's all. The look of their team and it's strengths and weaknesses it was a good time to play them.

Don't think Salford will challenge the top 8 while their 2 hookers are Tommy Lee and Logan Tomkins who are ordinary at best.

Great win on Friday . Disappointed in the last 20 mins conceding when they were down to 12 men.
Real test of credentials on Saturday in France .
