Re: Widnes Review : Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:58 am  
Fair result last night we comfortably beat what was put infront of us, Widnes didn't really challenge us defensively which is where the major concern has been.
Hood looked good when he came on and give us a real go forward from dummy half which we haven't had in a while, for me he cannot be left out of the 17 if fit.
Not sure what everyone's opinion on Locke was last night but he did put in 80 mins and is getting fitter, he did show glimpses but why won't he take a ball up when first receiver.
He always releases to the winger on two occasions he passed to Chase and Johnson and they both got murdered, surprised Chase let it go.
Highest paid player on the pitch and won't run it in.

Still think we're playing with too many wingers in the three quarters against a decent team last night we would've been exposed on the flanks.

But positive result up to 4th and now unbeaten 8/10 at home.....fortress AJBell.

Thought your players looked to have a completely different attitude to when you played us last week.
Widnes are not a bad side, you just played well.

I noticed that the backs were used a lot more than usual in the first 4 tackles or so. I don't know if this was to conserve the forwards energy because second half the forwards came out storming. Impressive performance all round.

Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.

Political ends, as sad remains, will die.

Re: Widnes Review : Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:22 am  
RE the backs: very ipressed last night.
I feel we were using them more as Widnes seemed to rush through their substitutions in the first half: I commented that they would find it difficult to rest a tired forward later in the game and this did happen: the use of our backs kept our forwards fresher.
I also felt our structures looked better.

On a downer was Paterson limping off : we need him

Harauki: when we bought him, I thought "Why?" as he seemed to me to be only average when he was at Cas.
Have I been proved wrong. Apologies. (Obviously not an expert)

You can only beat what's in front of you, tonight that wasn't very much but you did the job well. I doubt if your pack will have an easier night all season, which created space for the dummy halves to keep you going forward and your half backs to dictate play at ease. Defensively you were very quick and tight, Widnes rarely had the skill to counteract that due in some part to a strange selection from Betts.
You could see the crowd growing with the team as the game went on - see you in a few weeks at LSV, well I wont damn holiday.

I thought it was an impressive performance, especially from Hood and Patterson.

Widnes were distinctly average, so it's still hard to gauge how well we played in the grand scheme of things. There seemed to be a lot more camaraderie from the team as a whole; generously giving each other a pat on the back after a successful play.

Only one downer from me - some of our fans were hurling abuse at the Widnes fans on the way out of the ground, calling them "murderers". Save that rubbish for football. Hugely embarrassing stuff.

There was some embarrassing crap going on outside. A lad in his twenties shouting "Widnes suck" at the top of his voice before looking dead proud of himself just made me cringe. And I forgot there were no council houses in Salford...

As for the game, I can't add a lot, good performance, should have been more, but can't complain. I just hope we can build on it now.

Re: Widnes Review : Fri Mar 27, 2015 9:30 am  
Last night was quality, great performance from the lads.

There was some big improments in attitude, kicking game and most importantly defence.

I also brought 3 new fans to the game last night and they are all buzzing for the next home game against Wigan.

I also had no traffic issues getting too and from the game. I find the best way is to get a taxi from near the Scoda garage on the roundabout.

Great night all around.

I really hope we can get a 6000+ crowd v Wigan on easter Monday. Very optimistic after last nights performance we are still nowhere near our best yet as a team.

Re: Widnes Review : Fri Mar 27, 2015 9:33 am  
Thought the Pack went really well last night. Taylor in Particular, we should be pulling out all the stops to secure him moving forward. On a separate note does anybody know what the Music is when the Video ref is debating his decision? I have a feeling its from a film but I cant quite place it? I've found myself humming it all morning so far. This is probably due to the 25 minutes of it we were subjected to last night as the Video ref dragged out every decision! Any assistance would be appreciated.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.

Didn't realise I waa critising Fages? Just that for me, we are a better side without him in it? Unless we start with Hood and bring him on, I have a feeling Harris likes Lee though, so will take something special to take the 9 spot off him. Unless like in second half last night when Hood came back on and Lee went to loose with Hansen going back to second row. Only reason I comment mainly on Lee, Fages and Hood is that many moons ago I indeed played that position, asume like other amature players always key a keen eye on someone who plays there position. Might just be me....

Forgot to add, there was lots of back slapping after tries, forcing errors, was good to see. Wonder if this was instructed or the guys have grievance over something and showing solidarity?


Fair enough. I just interpreted your comment about 'our little french superstar will have to sit in the stands' as something aimed deliberately at our Theo Fages admirers. Especially after split opinion on here recently about his abilities.

As for the back slapping and forced errors you mention, yes it's great to see and it brought back a few memories of the team spirit we used to show about 10 years ago.
