its not just about the speed of the ball out of the ruck, its the organisation, were bemoaning the lack of organisation in the halfs, again that is set by no organisation out of dummy half to the recievers, JPB is not vocal enough to play there, or quick enough, or experienced enough.

Still, could be worse for TR, theyre already calling for bomber on the salford board.

as I have said JPB looks fitter & sharper so give him a fair chance - I thought he linked up well with Gigot & company during the pre-season games - a bit of patience please lads.
Regarding TR - he will do a good job and has the total respect of the players I spoke to at least - a different kettle of fish to the last man to occupy the hot-seat. I just hope he can do enough to pacify BG who expects so much from his team.I believe TR is a top coach who will do well in any set-up but as I previously said,this job is a poisoned chalice...
As for Mr McCrae,he's not doing himself any favours it seems......

If your dummy half isn't working, you could have Lockyer and Thurston at 6 and 7 and they wouldn't stand a chance. I suspect we won't know the full extent of the issues in the halves until the hooking role is resolved.

Please let it be resolved soon then, eh.
