Saints next week though. Powell has a tough one to decide who plays on that right hand side.

Foster was at fault for 2tries missing 1 on 1 tackles but somehow Minikin the one taking all the heat n Foster not even been mentioned.

Infact Foster twice missed his 1 on 1 tackle for there last try aswell so could say he was at fault for 3tries.

yeah, he was lucky not to be dropped this week. Played just as bad. Play Gill on wing

PM
Gill
Foster
Shenton
Eden
Rankin
Trueman

Would be my back line on Friday

Agree. Seems to have regressed. Just as much at fault as Clare was last week, poor this week but I bet he won't get dropped like Clare did. Minikin has a big upside/potential. Really hope he turns it round

I am happy with 2 points though. Did it tough.
Watts is monumental for us. Huge influence like Macca and Moors. We lose go forward without them.
Ioggy went well.
Trueman was quality too.
Got to be better to compete with Saints next week.
WRE so poor for atmosphere nowadays. Paltry joining in by some. Not enough getting behind them in my opinion. Hopefully more vocal under lights on Friday v Saints.

He can be recalled after initial 10 weeks. Not 100% sure of the date it started though

Yeah to St. Helens.
Can’t for the life of me see us getting anything from that game.
We will have millington back thank god.
Need mcmeeken back ASAP to tighten that right side.

Surely we will look to go into the market for a centre now Powell as realised what everyone on here knew all along that Minikin wasn't up to it and Foster is far better suited to the back row.
Come on Wellsy surely you must have someone in mind....

Powell put two of our best defenders Oggy and Foster down the right and we still concede very soft tries down that side. It's last year's full back issue all over again.

But it was obvious what was going to happen thats what amazes me that's why I would have kept Webster yes he was on his last legs but he was a proper centre who knew how to defend like a proper centre

nice to see OGGY back he run some good lines, Milner must have the most penalty's given away in our team but he gives 100% and I am glad to have them both back, Salford are a vastly improved team since the signing of Hastings some player that lad , onto Saints last year they looked a better team with Barber in it, I think we have every chance of turning them over this week, COME ON YE FORD

Foster was definitely at fault for at least two of their tries, but both centre and wing on that right side look full of panic. Even when they stop the opposition, they look unsure of where they should be and just hit the panic button, which tends to lead Minikin to come rushing out with more hope than belief he has wrapped his man up. Let's be honest though, we all panic when they come that side :lol: The opposition know it and Saints will be hammering that edge on Friday. tough ask of the boys on this next game.

Cook and Moors my contenders for M. O. M.
Great to see Massey celebrate new deal with a try.
Good to have Oggy back.
Rankin good defence and kicking other than missing his easiest conversion possibly best game so far.
Watt's enough said.
Jesse lively as ever.
Macca as ever though an unnecessary sin binning.
A wins a win.

impressed by that salford side, it was only in the last 20 mins our pack finally won the arm wrestle and thats what won us the game eventually. they matched us in the backs and aren't afraid to throw the ball about. thought jesse ran peanut close for mom.

Hastings is a terrific player and showed a nice touch shaking hands with the young lads waving the flags while Salford were warming up

It's amazing how you all come on here bagging Minikin and not one of you give the man credit for getting back to stop a certain try in the first half. This was without doubt a game changer but I suppose you only see the bad side of things, what about stupid penalties that cost us tries and a needless sin bin, why not blame Minikin for those.

That was a great bit of defending.
Not sure who the Salford player was, just glad it wasn’t a speed merchant or he’d have been under the post.
