Big missed opportunity. Whats the point having 2 seperate threads, seriously?

After making good progress do you think this will be a major set back or do you think we have shown enough strength of character this season to get back on track?

We won the second half...err...

This season is starting to look like last season - a few great performances, a few good ones, plenty of mediocre efforts and too many dire ones. Suspect the end result will be the same.



Why two threads? People moaned about having to wade through the in-game stuff to get to the post-match discussion.

always was going to be a tough one even before Purtell pulled out, so no surprise that Salford turned it on against Sykes. Salford go above on points difference, I was hoping they would at least keep the score tight to stop that happening.

We were bad, but weve seen much worse than that.



Ateotd, Salford wont play much better than that this season, purtell pulled out and chev & bj had to go off. Bitterly disappointed with the result, but won't get down about the season as a whole yet.

No me either, we probably got a bit ahead of ourselves after last week and more than likley needed this as a remeinder that there will be no easy games. Got to pick ourselves up a dust ourselves off and get back to the same kind of performances we have seen for the past month -today.



Team selection didnt help. Theres no way Bateman should have been benched, it takes away a chunk of attacking threat on the left side and a huge defensive contribution too. If Sykes was playing then he should have remained at 6 and Sammut on bench with Walker to RC.

Agreed.



If walker and purtell are both out then whitehead centre, elima Langley Bateman back row.



Sykes and kp can't be a partnership against Hull, they'll be ripped apart.

Willie Manu has always destroyed Sykes, at least Yeaman isn't playing. i'd move Elima onto right, Whithead to left. Bateman to 13 and Langley to prop or bench.

This.



Massive defeat this. Win it would have been 3 in a row and given massive confidence going to Hull next week and then obviously the derby. NOw we're going to an in form Hull team at Hull on back of a defeat. Difficult ask and then the derby.



To save time i'm going to copy what i put on another thread.



Potter has to take 100% of the blame. To drop a young player who has probably been one of your best to the bench, than let a senior player walk straight back into the starting line up stinks IMO



Is it a coincidence? No, everytime Langley plays we lose ALL our momentum with that stupid inside ball. Bateman runs at angles and causes problems.



And don't even get me started on Karl Pryce & Sykes.

Potter should take 0% of the blame..

We lost because we dropped the ball so many times, unforced, at times most of those players never would. Cant blame him for that.

We bombed 3/4 good chances/positions with dropped ball and gifted them 3/4 tries in the same way.
