Quote ="DILLIGAF"To be honest, the scoreline doesn't really paint the picture. Both teams defended very well today, but our team defence was superb. Salford barely made it to our line in the first half, but got there quite a bit in the second and we kept them out. At one point, Ratchford looked like he was through and going to score, but we scrambled well and stopped them.
Looking at the score, you wouldn't think we played well. I would say we did though. Yeah it might have been Salford, but they weren't all that bad. We created loads of chances, but we just couldn't get that final touch to score from them. Partly due to bad ball bounce, partly due to the (really) wet conditions and partly just bad luck.
Sheriffe went off at half time I think. I hadn't noticed until Halley started legging it down the right wing during the second half. Halley moved to the wing, Sykes to fullback and Menzies to centre. Wasn't carried off or anything though, so hopefully not too bad. Would be really rotten luck for Rikki to get injured just as he starts to find some good form.
Salford's best player is quite clearly Holdsworth though. He was at the root of every good play they did.'"
well summed up there. was a tough game that was fought down the middle, some great defence as well from both sides. the pitch looked really good to say how much rain it had on it before and during the game. one thing i would say is that macca wanted us to win close games and we managed that today. thats a good positive to take from todays game.
. It deserved 10 minutes and you know it. Although like I said we're not smart enough to use a 4 man overlap at the moment never mind a 1 man overlap!!!
