Mrs Barista wrote:Strange one; better second half but not where we need to be in attack and missed the physicality of Ellis, Green and Bowden for me, although Turgut showed up very well. Errors the main concern, I'm not sure that whether due to cold conditions or new combinations. Shuffled the pack a lot in the backs with Connor, Naughton, Michaels all coming on; not sure he knows his first choice 17 now.
On the positive side the starting front row looked good as did Shaul. Some class plays from Sneyd too, short GLD which we got possession from. Glimpses of quality but no real cohesion. Maybe in January that's not that unusual.
Not ideal but not worried
Salford 3rd game in a row with a full strength team so they'll be well tuned up
Our first really and still missing a big chunk of pack in green Bowden n Ellis
To say how many errors and pens we gifted to concede only a couple more scores is defo 1 positive
So defence is ok. So next week I'd go strong and blitz em and run through our play book to get the attack jump started
