46 tackles from smurf last night too!
I thought woody put in some excellent defence in terms of effort- he’s not the heaviest but he worked hard in defence, tracks back where necessary grabs hold and doesn’t let go!
Ken sio almost had four tries but for some great last ditch defending.
Food for thought just 17 tackles missed in total last night. 9 from two players. In contrast KR, our next opponents, missed over 50.
That was a big effort from those two jools, I enjoyed the game immensely, it was nice to get an even share of field position and I'm hoping our Pack will get better as the weeks go bye.
Our halves were below their best but there's time to improve and i believe they will as the pack gets better, We definitely need to be playing Holmes, I was impressed with Senior last night he was very cool under some excellent high balls from Salford.
It was not an easy game and that drop goal could easily have clinched it for Salford, Don't know what Kev was thinking, I've never seen him do that sort of thing before, I thought overall we just about edged it with some great try savers on the wing.
