Why can't you just wallow in the afterglow of a thumping win? 30 of the points, as you point out, were scored without lui on the pitch. The big news is Salford battered a side that haven't been battered much by anyone and beat the league leaders last week. A cursory "Great win" doesn't really cut the mustard... Amazingly enough, I don't compose my posts for your benefit. I don't think I wrote anything wrong or terrible, or anything that takes away from a great victory. Lui is a concern, as when we face better opposition we rely on his creative spark for a large chunk of our go-forward. But seeing as we're in the age of 'only my opinion really matters' and 'You're only allowed to agree with me' attitudes, I'll re-write my post in a less offensive way, just for you...
'The big story tonight is us winning easily, especially considering we lost Lui early on. He wont be a massive loss for us as the squad players coming in are easily capable of replicating his performances. I mean, we just beat Wakey, who beat the league leaders last week! This must mean we're probably better than St Helens. Let's all wallow in that great victory and bring on next week.
Big-ups to the team for pulling that one out of the bag. Great result.'
Hopefully that cuts the mustard for you.
Whatever. |

Good win, great defence throughout the whole game and attacking in the second half was pretty top notch.
It might sound odd but the loss of Lui might have been a good thing (though obviously i don't want him out long term). Before he went off we didn't look particularly good going forward, we seemed to be stuck in our usual patterns that Wakefield were handling reasonably easily. As soon as we were forced to reshuffle and the usual plays were not available we mixed it up a hell of a lot more and Wakey couldn't handle it. I thought Littlejohn stepped up very well, his inplay kicking was pretty troublesome for them (definitely needs some work on the conversion kicks however).
Could it be that a bit like Junior Sau, Lui has been noted by the other teams and is targeted out of the game by the opposition defence?

That’s what I said after the game to the lads I was with, Lui going off probably through Wakey off course more than it did to us. |

Mentioned something along these lines a week or so ago, we should try and get away from the uber structured game and play off the cuff, it's impossible for the opposition to have a game plan in defence if we haven't got one in attack. |

We tried that in the first game against Wigan, sadly not very successfully.

From listening to Watto there, it seems safe to say there won’t be any more signings coming in so we’ll have to make do with what we have. If Watto manages to secure this squad in the top 8, he should be given coach of the year. He’s doing a fantastic job and you can see how much the players want to play for him. Not sure where u heard the no more signings bit? That’s not what I heard? He said we may need to accelerate the recruitment process |
