People have short memories. Gentle did OK but his team was inconsistent as well and embarrassed the club twice in the two biggest games of the season last year.

That's why I would have played Whiting.

It's easy for us to sit here and play at being captain hindsight, so I wouldn't blame the players for declining 2 points because they are the ones out there with the best feel for what is happening in the game. My problem is the lack of willing to roll up our sleeves in defence when a big 5 minutes would have seen us in the hat.

Still seems that we are still not capable of getting the attitude & desire for more than one game. Disappointing even though we all knew Salford would offer mire than last week it's dumb rugby & errors that yet again are out failing.

I would play Whiting now anyway either him or Thompson in the centre. Crooks needs an extended run at a lower level.

More worried about the wing, Meli is poor these days but Arundel made him look the worlds best winger today, along with some awful attempts to catches bombs by him and Crooks.

Can't understand why Arundel was played on the wing unless Colbon was injured?

I said before today's game that I have major doubts over Arundel. We need two strike centres in my opinion.

He was injured, no sure what other options Radford had, personally I would have had whiting and crooks on the wing.

Surely things shouldn't change that much in one week.

You clearly had the measure of Salford last week.

I saw that Hull was only -8 on the coupon and thought that was a bargain. Was gonna have a decent bet on you but thankfully didn't get chance to put it on after work.

Not trolling, just confused/surprised.

I was going to say that teams don't seem to be able to raise their intensity for the cup anymore, but then I remembered your performances at Catalans and against Warrington last season.

Chase turned up this week and took advantages of our errors.

I just don't understand the Colbon thing. He's played three games and has done ok whilst not standing out. So we replace him with a centre leaving us with a centre wing partnership with a combined age of 42 and no recognised winger up against Meli, Sau, Hock and Chase (I haven't seen the game, just listened, but I'm assuming that's how they lined up?).

Now if Radford doesn't think Colbon is good enough then why sign him just over a month ago? Wing is a very specialist position, if Colbon isn't the answer then give young Tom Stark a go. Or at least play Whiting there who has some experience of the position.

Edit: Just seen a comment that Colbon was injured, but my point still stands.

Did Arundel play any of tonight at centre?

and Hock played, even though I can't stand the dirty thug, I can't deny he lifts a team when he plays.
