I think it will be very difficult game on Saturday.
I've been so impressed with Salford and particularly Watson, he can really get his teams to play no matter what cards he's dealt. And as a selling kind of club it must be frustrating but he keeps them "on it" and they can really play good running rugby when they're in the mood, no matter who they're up against.

They've been kind of hit and miss up to a few weeks ago, but in the last 3 or 4 weeks they've had really convincing wins.
Now that they know they can play, and put back to back wins together, they will be dangerous opposition who command respect.
I think Watson will have them believing they can be a winning club despite all the difficulties they face.

We really have to meet them head on and stop any momentum shifting their way, because they will be a difficult to stop should they get a head start.

Honestly think our 'A' game is needed Saturday, will be difficult with Kelly and possibly Connor out, but we have to find a way. If we can we will win the game.
It's a great opportunity to show we have the mentality and squad strength to face up strong all over the park, win more individual battles than they do and overcome this adversity.

I'd rather have to deal with this, than Watsons perennial hand of knowing he'll continue to lose most of his players who shine.

Whilst you are correct on the state of the game at present, the game at Wakey was very poor, but make no mistake without Sneyds try, and his two 40/20s the result could have been reversed.

He was gash against Salford.

But Wigan and Warrington made sure his influence was minimal, the tactics used against him in the Wigan game were talked about by Radders.

For Sneyd to be at his best, he needs our pack to be firing, and unfortunately this is not happening. Probably the same reason Jake is also looking ineffective as well. In answer to your question Sneyd last top class game was probably in the demolition of rovers at the KC. When the Hull pack got the measure for once. Although his magnificent effort in France was also a match winning performance.

The state of the game we can’t do much about, but strengthen the pack, which we have done “hopefully”, will give our halves more room, to exhibit the talents we know they have.

As well you know its not just about scoring or assisting with a try. And as you are well aware, there is another half back which can also contribute.

Or not as the case may be. I think Sneyd was pretty much on his own.

Connor helped set up two trys against Wakey.

Very few halfbacks can play when your pack gets dominated and you drop as much ball as we have the last few games, that includes the likes of Austin and Hastings.

Have you noticed how much ball is being dropped by players in S/L.
Previously everyone was blaming handling errors on the Rhino ball but this season its just as bad.
