When you look at the brand of Rugby we played under Kevin Tamati, it was a very skillful, fast, and exciting way of playing. I was watching the review of the season Tape (VHS, some of you younger guys wont know what this is ) the other day and I have to say that the likes of Gibbo, Shakers, Kerry and Tex etc make for some surprisingly modern looking rugby. It really highlighted to me how far backwards we, as a club, have gone.

Sad. But true.

one man rugby up the middle, flat line with no second line of attack at pace.

Why is it when someone like Cashmere comes to Salford, one of the highest metre gainers in NRL last season playing for the bottom club, we then turn them into a flat running clueless player?

True enough but we do have our own little gem in Myler, I would personally think maybe bringing Cashemere on after 15 for the last 25 would be the ideal situation, that way he is potentially running at 2nd string props and tired defences.
