Why the sudden rush to condemn ? Seems strangely masochistically gleeful ?! No, I'm not naive, or rose-tinted but I think context is key. We didn't know today if we were going to be blown away by 30 and shown up as having no hope of even competing.



Instead, a team that should beat us week in week out in paper, with almost superior players in every position, frankly, got away with one. We lost it, they didn't outclass, outperform or out- enthuse us.



Most games this year have left me feeling depressed but this one is frustrating. Ours to win, the better team and we conspired to throw it. That's very different to obeying smashed by 40 every week.



Much will be made of Tupou blowing the pass to Owen but in the last 4 mins alone, scruton threw a bad pass in their ten, knocked on at the ptb, simon turned over an offload and gave away a pointless pen to piggy back them to safety.



We weren't unlocked by a superior 13 men - two of their tries were length of the pitch efforts which lets face it are arbitrary ; no coach plans for, plays for or builds a strategy on them.



Nothing against Salford - they didn't"t 'rob' us and their tactics were spot on 1st half ; but when we started to play, they didn't / couldn't compete - we ran in two quick scores.



Moore was Awful imho But I don't think anyone else was poor (merely stupid at crucial moments)



If the sentiment of the post was one of exasperation, frustration or lamenting that at the end of the eights we may count the cost of is, I absolutely concur. But surely to write us off based on that game is ludicrous ?



It is of course a results, not a performance business but I don't think that performance suggests we will necessarily lose the next 6 matches and thus be relegated, hence my questioning of the post.

Any change of views

God knows where Bellycould tackles bigger Bulls pack and better wingers were today,I'd feel a real tool with those predictions

Apparently the bigger forwards and better wingers were playing for Sandal RU
