Considered Nsemba but with the modern HIA rules I feel we need cover for O’Neill. No obvious emergency replacement in the team (like Shorrocks used to be).

Wouldn’t be opposed to Nsemba playing instead of Faz or Isa.

Salford - O’Neill and Forber

Sheffield Leeming and Forber

Saints O’Neill and Leeming

Great experience for Forber getting a month of games under his belt. He’s held up well.

It’s a fair assessment. I just look at Salford and think we could potentially roll over the top of them with a big bench. A lot will depend on how much Peet trusts Forber in a tight game. If it’s a case of him only getting a chance when we’re comfortable, I think I’d take the risk of having no cover for O’Neill.

BTW-can you imagine these decisions and conversations as and when everyone is available!

Very poor tonight so far

That was one rough half of rugby.

Low quality arm wrestle. We have the strike in the backs let’s use it

If they'd have shown a better camera angle for the head shot on Mago Salford would probably be down to 12 for 10 minutes at least.

Game to forget so far from us, lots of errors and penalties and pretty ordinary with the ball

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:22 pm  

Been a long while since we’ve been so far off it. Hull at home in similar wet conditions. Salford are an awkward team to play against. In the face of it they like to throw the ball about but their defence is very niggly and lots of hands in the ruck.

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:27 pm  

We are really lacking with Leeming not playing. If we weren’t going to spell Forber there’s no point whatsoever in having him on the bench.

Re: Salford away : Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:47 pm  

I think we’ve got the Thompson we hoped anyway. What an effort and what a win to grind that out.

Yes - never a fan of having unused subs.

Got away with that one big time. What a crazy decision by Salford at the drop out.
