What struck me last night was how ineffectual Richardson and Miller were in attack,our reliance on Westerman and McShane was a gift to the Rhinos defence,they could afford to double mark them knowing there was no threat elsewhere. Lisone changed the game when he came on while we had Vete who came on,went into backfield and didn’t even offer himself up for the carry. How poor/unfit are Namo and Hindmarsh if they can’t displace him in the side. Defensively Leeds are more than decent,even Saints struggled to break them down, but they adapted because they have that touch of class we’re sadly lacking. Are we that far off being competitive? I don’t honestly think so but as many of us were saying in the off season we’re short of a decent half and a couple of props who can make an impact, our new signings haven’t addressed that issue. So onwards and hopefully upwards, Salford is a game we can and should win,we showed that at theirs, hopefully we learnt enough to adapt, no way on this earth will Macca give Sneyd the time and space he had that night. Hopefully he’ll shake off the knock he got last night cos boy do we need him.
