His confidence must have been shot,knowing the coach doesn’t rate him,as can be assumed from the selection policy. Now that we know that Tui hasn’t downed tools,I’d select him at 6 and out Escaré to full back. Sio will be back and he’ll be on the wing. In other circumstances yes,I’d give him a shot in the halves. Escaré has many defensive faults but ,when we can’t buy a try,let’s focus on what he brings to the party Agree with a lot of this. Defensively he's very lightweight so anything near our tryline and it's pretty much a certain try conceded. But from an attacking perspective, if that was Johnstone/Makinson etc who had scored Escare's try yesterday they'd all be creaming themselves over it. I'd be tempted to give Escare a crack at 6 if Atkin was at 7 and Tui didn't do too much wrong at FB and is a big threat in open play. Think it may be a few weeks before Inu is fit and ready to play again as we've all seen what he's like when he's rusty/not 100% match fit. We've definitely missed his offloading and attaching threat. I thought Williams was really good yesterday and got through a lot of work (as usual). Keep him and Sio on the wings as Sio showed he's not a centre against Wire(?). Maybe Inu back to right centre to shore up that side of the pitch defensively?

Just been reading the Leeds forum and they aren't half a myopic bunch of 6 fingered tw@ts!😂 Apparently not one Leeds player did anything wrong during the match and it was all down to our thuggery, including Lannon kneeing Gale in the head and Gale's reaction was down to that and numerous late hits during the game?🤷♂️ They're probably only second to Wigan fans in their blind bias towards their own team.🙄

To be fair I think Lannon is a lucky man there was no video of his bust up with Gale. I reckon he knelt on Gales head 3 or 4 times while he was getting up out of the tackle. Couldn’t see it perfectly but it looked pretty intentional from where I was sat. Gale should still have had a red card as his ban shows

Gale should still have had a red card as his ban shows Hicks should be reprimanded as the disciplinary shows he was wrong not to send Gale off. I’d like to see them also investigate the continual apologies that Hicks gave but I won’t hold my breath.

Hicks ,Child and Kendall are symptomatic of the problems Rugby League faces. I know that there’s no game without officials but these three want to be centre stage. It’s not just that they’re poor at their job,it’s the style of refereeing….by numbers. It’s possible to guess,for example,when they’re going to ping an attacking team for offside, even when they’ve accepted the same level of encroachment earlier. Aussie refs have their issues but their basic strategy is sound

Aussie refs have their issues but their basic strategy is sound I agree with your thoughts BR, the officials that you have mentioned are three showboaters and on Sunday my wife was continually asking what are the touch judges supposed to do, she cannot understand how they miss things a yard away but seeming notice things from 25 yards away. If anyone watches the NRL games, their officials are hardly noticed but they handle incidents more effectively, sometimes they get it wrong, but they never appear to think that they are the ones that the crowd have paid to see. The consistent manner in which these three officials are inconsistent is alarming as they are continually missing incidents, noticing incidents and making the wrong decision and generally spoiling things. On the matter of Salford’s discipline though the players do need to improve things on the field otherwise things will only get worse although from where I sit it does appear sometimes that on many occasions there is a different play the ball rule for certain teams, not being square at the PTB varies from team to team,etc,etc.

Last 2 games the ref has made massive errors
1 Greenwood sent off instead of Sarginson
2 Gale not getting a red
Both these weren’t judgment calls which we accept happen but obvious and clear errors where rules weren’t enforced or mistaken identity
It’s the highest standard rugby league in the northern hemisphere and still there errors still happen
Why can’t these errors be addressed so that at least the paying public know something is being done as pretty sure Kendall and Hicks will get high profile games again this week

Players do silly things when frustrated. It's painfully obvious that the players lack confidence and Sunday's game showed they lack leadership and the ability to change things. Who was in charge when Mossop went off? On Sunday our attack concentrated on their right flank and got nowhere and we looked far more dangerous on our right. Our middles lack real power leading to slow ptbs which doesn't help Ackers who despite his darts creates little. As an ex-player said to me "if it's not working change it". I'm sure the players are giving 100% but sadly seem to play with no freedom rarely trying to move the ball wide early as Leeds did on Sunday with forwards handling like backs. We need to play in a way that suits our players and we are far from doing that.

To be fair to Hicks on Sunday he didn't see it and relied on touch judges; enough said.
The Wells incident was made a bit OTT and two matches, poor judgement

Superleague referees should be independently regulated. The favouritism afforded to some of the wealthier clubs is glaringly obvious and not good for the integrity and expansion of the sport. I know many people that won't watch rugby league for this very reason.

What a shock; Leeds have been able to raise a team with 6 or 7 missing after Sunday

I know many people that won't watch rugby league for this very reason. Who regulates the referees now? I hear people say that other people won’t watch RL any more because of referees. (I’ve never once met anyone who says it about themselves, at least not anyone who didn’t have other reasons to not watch). it all just strikes me as bizarre. I don’t think there is another sport in the world where the fans are more bothered about how the sport is run than about how their team is playing. The RFL are inept, SL is far worse than inept in terms of its governance. But FIFA and the IOC were proven to be corrupt in courts of law, the premier league and champions league is a racket that sucks money from the rest of the sport to pay to arms dealers, tax avoiders and all manner of dodgy characters, the RFU couldn’t care less about the club game, was riven by hypocrisy for all its ‘amateur’ years and has supported Nazi and apartheid regimes (amongst others). Referees are biased against every club in football from what I’ve heard fans say, VAR is ruining the game allegedly. Yet nobody ever says ‘I’m not watching the olympics, the World Cup, the 6 nations, etc etc’ because of any of these issues. Only rugby league. Weird isn’t it By all means criticise the ruling body and the referees but RL needs all the fans it can get.
