Josh Griffin absolutely smashing it at centre. 217 metres, 28 tackles (just one missed), 21 carries and a try.
Adam Swift fully justifying his place too: 190 metres, 1 try assist, 2 tackle busts, 18 carries, 11 metre average gain.
Tuimavave and Griffin are third and fourth highest metre makers respectively in Super League at present.

| Great to see Taylor back to his best. Shrewd coaching by Hodgson starting him from the bench. Also like the way like the way he's using Lane through the middle to add more pace and agility to compliment the big men.

Plus 2 trysavers from Swift when the game was already won. That was the most pleasing thing for me, that they never switched off like in the past

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

I hope we see more from Mau this season.
At the moment he is not living up to expectations
Did the hype get to us fans or are we expecting too much?

150m+off the bench is some going.

| I guess it's so far so good, context being we've played last year's 7th and 9th.
Positives have been the energy and attitude of the group, the impact of the pack and the way 1,6 and 7 have started. Negatives are that we've maybe lost 6 & 7, hopefully not for long.

Indeed it is so far so good but certainly shown enough sign of promise.
With regards to losing 6 & 7, BH said Sneyd was just a dead leg nothing serious & I’ve read that Reynolds has said he should be ok for Warrington. So hopefully both with a couple of weeks before the Warrington game will be fit.

Context. We didn't beat Salford last season but at last comfortably beat them yesterday.
So many positives to enjoy and even out of your so called negatives you could find a positive.
Season gone before we would have collapsed but yesterday had the ability and confidence to stick to the game plan and play without any disruption.

| First time we've kept the opposition scoreless by half time in successive games for five years.

Good stat, one negative I think of, is that in both game the opposition have been down 12 men for 10 minutes, in that period we haven't scored a try.
Overall you have to be happy, I still think there is improvement in us as a team and individuals, which I still think we need to challenge for trophies this year.
Still a lot rides on injuries.

Injuries affect every squad but we saw against Salford the ability to stick to the system and game plan regardless of the personnel.
Pundits and fans alike can see the difference the players also speak of and although we didn't score when the opposition were down to 12 that could again be seen as a positive. The fact we remained calm and patient instead of forcing plays expecting to score could be part of the process.
I think the appointment of Hodgson has been an astute signing by AP and hopefully will improve the club culture going forward in regards to the development of players and staff.
