Awful performance. Again no energy and poor skills with the ball. First half our energy was woeful- our defensive line stood waiting (again), our linespeed has been non existent for years regardless of coach. But for me the coach has to take the biggest criticism as he got it very wrong last night.
Sezer on the bench- as someone else said to me last night - if he’s not fit or interested play someone who is! Then due to Salford’s foul play we end up playing most of the game with one halfback and our fullback at hooker- welcome back Ashton!!! Why not just put Leroy or leutele in at hooker leave the rest of the spine as is. That’s obviously going to cause issues. Instead of playing on when they are thinking oh crap- we’ve a long way to go with 12 we let them off the hook by taking two points.when we are 6 points behind!
But for me the issue was the game plan. Salford go down to 12 and we decide to run it up the middle. Again and again and again. Salford are a man down so instead of stretching their defence to find the space we play up the middle- that’s down to the coach not the players!!! Watson is on the sidelines, he can easily change that plan if he thinks it’s not working but decides not to.
