Should be a good game. Salford are pretty much at full strength, only missing Rapira and Griffin.

Good means there wont be any excuses of under strength when we beat you muhahahahahahaha

But joking aside does have the potential to be a cracking game as we nearly have a full compliment.

Safe journey to any Salford fans making there way over to sunny side of the pennines

Leatherbarrow running the line on the stand side, twice he's turned and smirked at the bulls fans in the stand after giving questionable calls against us, both leading to points....if he does it again im going to go down and wipe the smirk off his smug face the lover.

Bentham started where he left off in the CC so many forward passes and uncountable offsides by Salford - one questionable forward from us (which looked flat) called for forward - how is this guy not back in training FFS

Re: Squad vs Salford : Fri Apr 11, 2014 8:35 pm  

Poor ref tonight , didn't get a single call our way . Loads of forward passes to Salford and no one put on report for high tackles or throwing punches .

Bulls were a bit slow off mark again but with ball in hand looked good

Come on you bulls !

Disappointed tonight, I thought we were poor, gifting Salford at least 24 points through mistakes.

Our attack was woeful. Our approach play is so 'careful' that we don't create any gaps, and we have 0 genuine dummy runners.

I've come away from Odsal this year proud of the players efforts, but today there were too many mistakes. Never did ourselves any favors.

Positives were probably Fakir, Gaskell and Ferguson. I think Ferguson runs some really decent lines, and packs a punch in the tackle too.

Disappointed to see Bent ham stick his tongue out at the fans as he came off the pitch. His performance was poor today, he never had any control of the defensive line.

Feeling dejected!

Re: Squad vs Salford : Fri Apr 11, 2014 9:32 pm  

Disappointing. Salford were not all that and we made them look like world beaters. Too many errors and we gifted them the ball in our half too many times.
Yes they got two tries from dubious dubious calls but we still gave that game away.

Are cannonball tackles legal now? Shocking tactic that. Don't know why Bentham let them get away with it.

Poor tonight. And Leeds and Wigan up next. Bl00dy hell!

I disagree I thought we looked disorganised in attack. No dummy runners, no one seems to know their role. We just pass down the line (usually in accurately) slide towards touch when run back on inside.
Time and again gale took the ball at first receiver, we have 5 plays bunched next to him. Gale then randomly picked one of them.

Every single play, each player should know their role, either dummy runner, or you're receiving the ball. NO ONE should be stood still next to the half back.

Gale & Gaskell need to start organising, get players out of the line if their not going to be receiving it. They should know exactly what they are doing a tackle before they do it. When Gale got the ball it was like he was making it up as he wet a long and deciding there and then what to do.

Awful.

Wait for the cold light of day. Watch the highlights. You'll probably find 'all those calls' and 'all those passes' were not all forward and not all wrong. It's pretty tiring hearing that it's refs faults that lost games. If your team defends well, and attacks well then calls are irrespective. If your team plays average or rubbish then you see more in the calls than are there. If you win, you don't dwell on them. That's the reality. Constant whining at refs is getting tiring...

Salford were not particularly on fire tonight, and I doubt we've had an easier win at Odsal. That's not trying to rub it in, that's being honest. After all, I remember conceding 96 against you lot not that many years ago.

You might have missed the bit where I said we were crap!

Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. Just seen plenty of Ref bashing on here and other sites. It gets a bit tiring that's all.

Good luck for the rest of the season.
