Post match v Leeds : Fri Jul 25, 2014 8:52 pm
Struggling to fault that performance in the context of the season - best performance I have seen from a Salford side against a top four side in some time. The telling difference was the 10% that teams like Leeds manage to get right. A prime example being the moment when Rob Burrow cut off Greg Johnson when he was open half way through the second half - when we were faced with those situations we let Leeds through. Also looked like we were a little shy of fitness around the 50 minute mark, perhaps indicative of poor pre-season prep.Signs are very encouraging though and if we turn that performance in for the last four games I feel we'll make that eighth spot. For next season we need to put a Plan B in place for when teams come up fast out wide to cut us spreading the ball. We seemed to be a little devoid of ideas in our short play at times.
Evalds, Walne and Fages - superb contributions.
