Who said that, you expect me to go to a friendly away Salford when we have just had a baby?

I wonder who you are?

Talk about the game and stop being a d&@k.

just dont understand this one preseason game plan for the first team squad.
I would now have all the first team playing at least the first half at Doncaster.
I agree that Radford doesnt actually know his first choice 17 and seems to be trying to find a place for Connor.
What i see is when Kelly is on the field all our attack is on the right side with Talanoa and Griffin seeing very little of the ball.That needs to change otherwise the strength of these two is wasted.

Quite a few sides, play the '6' on the left side, and then the '1', chimes in on the right
side, to provide the extra pivot...

A bit disappointing, that we haven't changed our pivot structure from last season...

Rumour is... Ellis is due to have a scan on his back...

Poor result with nearly a full team playing even if it is just a friendly considering a long pre season, over seas training camp and lots of other friendlies. Could we be going from overdone last year to underdone this year come season start?

Time will tell.

We've all been fans long enough to know that you can't take too much from a friendly. Until it's 17 vs 17, restricted interchanges and something at stake, you really can't use it as much of a marker. Roll on the Wakey game.

What you could see though from the match is that Salford have played 3 friendly games with a near full strength team and it showed.
Losing a friendly is not really a concern but losing at Wakefield because we are underdone playing as a team would be.

Well near but not quite full strength as we were missing Ben Murdoch Masilla Josh Jones and Todd Carney, good win but I'd swap it for the two points against Wigan in a fortnight.

Thought you looked well organised and did us for pace several times, good to see both sides getting some big hits in. A cliche but no easy games in Super League.

Another way of looking at it is given the stupid way the season is set up with us playing wakey and then a fortnight off again there's effectively a month of pre season left with 1 game in the middle
Radders may gamble on the team being able to do a job slightly 'underdone' put some more work into them then before the true week in week out grind begins

I thought that a while ago, not that we'd gamble being underdone but just that it might be factored into pre season.

Agree there'll be no easy games. Widnes still look light of a half back, but other than that it's going to be really tough for any team from the championship that have an eye on promotion via the million pound game

Who played in the centres and how did they play?

IMO Salford looked well drilled and professional, certainly in defence. We made far too many errors, that tuimivave kick near the sticks defied all reason! Thought 18.6 flattered us. But it was only a friendly, but we need to improve on that for sure.

Radfud in Mail blaming lack of competitive mindset in some players
That concerns me
Are we still in a Challenge Cup hangover ?
Serious question
Remember there will have been a hell of a lot of talk prior to this game in the dressing room
And on the practice pitch from the coach and players
We are aiming to start the season with a bang so by the Reds game yesterday we should have been near red hot
Let's see how the season starts but we need a 2 win start in my opinion
