Looked shell shocked.

Dreadful today. We can't keep blaming injuries and suspensions. First 40 mins today was like Salford from 5 years ago. Pinning all our hopes on the return of Chase now but in reality it's gonna be too little too late.

Think we should Get Tim Sheens back until the end of season. We don't look a team for most of the game.

One man up the jumper rugby, poor discipline again, kicking game rubbish and no one organising. Absolute garbage showing for a Superleague team. A big dry pitch like today and we play as if it was in 2 feet of mud and blowing a gale. Entertainment factor zero. I just find it ridiculous that we only have 3 half backs in the entire squad and have to play a second rower there.

The Championship awaits unless we buck our ideas up fast. A totally self destructive mess we find ourselves in.

And where was Tasi? Are we not playing him now because he's leaving?

What's happened to us, how could things have gone so wrong.
So promising to looking like we won't make the top eight, where's all the team spirit and in roads we made during and post Sheens.
Yes we have been unfortunate with injuries / suspensions but we can't blame it all on this.
Feel the announcements of players departing also hasn't helped, if we don't manage to scrape top 8 think Harris will be doomed.

Why didn't we try to bring a half back in on loan to help Theo????

Tasi said he's out for 6 weeks on twitter

Let's be honest here......when have salford ever been any good really!!!!

Steady, let others slate us, we must be patient and see where we are with our best squad. I was there and very disappointed but look at the straight red. Took everyone by surprise.
Salford is for life not just one game.

Yes I agree we're not playing well at the moment but let's get a grip here. We have our two first choice halfbacks out together with our hooker. Take these three pivotal players out of any team below the top 4 and they wouldn't be any better. Add the fact that players are coming back from suspension so aren't match fit.
We also have had quite a few injuries to players early on in games which reduces our rotation.
Taking those "Minor things" out the equation the one thing we do have is the players working for each other. This shows good team spirit in difficult circumstances.
Remember where we were before the plethora of injuries and the Suspensions. Let's get our key players back for 5 or 6 games and then make a judgement.

couldn't put it better, myself.

We can look for excuses week after week but the reality is a large part of our current plight has been down to the worst discipline in SL by some considerable distance. Look at yesterday as an example, we gave away several penalties before we were awarded our first in the 60th minute. Injuries you can't control but discipline you can. The discipline issue on top of the injuries has cost us several games this year. Far too many needless penalties and suspensions. The club needs to start imposing some hefty fines.

This.

For me discipline has been the biggest problem and the main reason we're on this dreadful run. It's not just the suspensions, the discipline on the pitch is starving the team of field position. Getting sick of seeing us finally getting the opposing team penned on their own line only for some stupid penalty to let them off the hook. At the moment this is happening everytime we play. Harris needs to sort it quickly.

Do Darrell and Josh Griffin give the most penalties away, are there any stats on this ?

It is clear we have suffered with some poor decisions this season, it is also clear it appears some in the RFL do not like the way our club conducts it dirty washing in public.
Having attended the magic weekend & sat & watched all 3 matches it also highlighted how poor we were yesterday, yes we have a massive injury list, yes I believe we have been poorly set on & scrutinised by the rugby league but we need to accept some facts? Going off yesterdays first half our discipline was awful, our line speed was none existent, our kicking game was woeful,"did we learn nothing from the Warrington game having no second kicker we are just so predictable", we have pace out wide but continue to drive up the middle.
When the club were dealt the injury & suspension blows, we knew Chase was gone for 7 games, the following week, we had lost Dobson for a long spell, we were already aware we had lost Tommy Lee & Locke was dispatched for a knee operation.
Anyone watching rugby league will tell you 1-6-7 & 9 are pivotal to any success.
a specialist half back role knowing the suspension & injury crisis we were facing could & should have helped the club & taken pressure from Theo who has been given an impossible task of playing for 6 games as our only recognized young half back!

Finally I get angry about some of the decisions I see week in & week out, I do believe we have been on the end of some very poor decisions, however I get even more angry with our owner continually washing all the negative linen in public. We must close the door & stop moaning how badly we have been treated.

Why not cheer yourself up by singing the 'hey Richie myler' song this afternoon. I know I will. What a ####

Yesterday performance was not acceptable on any level.

It doesn't look like the team are playing for him and I do worry that the over physical nature of our play is being taught by Harris, it is all well and good saying there is a witch hunt but there is no smoke without fire and the players ill discipline is there for all to see.

Very poor turnout from Salford yesterday, it must have been demoralising for the players to run out in front of around 100 Salford supporters.

Go on - I`ll take the bait - Over 500 sold but given seats all around the ground.

Why are opposition fans so besotted with Salford attendances?

I think Harris might be gone if we get a real kicking on Friday.

As has been said elsewhere Sheens coming in until the end of the season and either helps the Doc find the best coach moving forward or takes the job himself.

Agree about the performance but to lay the discipline blame on Harris is not on.

Without a doubt the RFL have cracked down on Salford if you dont believe that then watch the re run of Huddersfield match @ Magic where maybe Hudds should have had 3 red Carded for similar incidents to Darrells yesterday.

I do wonder if Harris is asking the players to be overly aggressive though?

I have no doubt that different referees see similar offenses very differently, they shouldn't but without doubt it happens.

Easter.

I don't see the logic of Hurarki at stand off I understand the coach has a problem.I would have used Greg Johnson at 6 also Theo's kicking game is none existant. If we have used the salary cap on this group Heaven help us.We are in a relegation scrap.Anyone who says otherwise is in cloud cuckoo land.
