I think saints rolled us 80-90 metres every set....... it certainly seemed like that too me...... we just didnt look interested which is very strange for such a big game...... im just hoping we were playing mind games because if we cant improve on that then were in big trouble

No they would have had stats better than Walmsley and Thompson.

Its not rocket science, they ran deeper on the ball so they were hitting the line harder, played the ball faster and made the yardage.
We run flat on the ball and are therefore being tackled as we collect the ball and mistakes come from that, one thing is certain our most dangerous player is French and should be a starting player

I am genuinely scared that Salford will turn us over next Friday they are a very good attacking team with Jackson Hastings guiding them round the field . Be aware our team he goes for the line near the end of every half when the forwards tire

I cannot get my head around this. Is it tactics, or are forwards so unwilling to take the ball up at pace?

It's just my opinion but I think Holbrook watched Salfords forwards and just refined it a bit and got that result on Friday.And if Wane had been in charge the second half wouldn't have been as bad

Saints have played the same way against us all season, Salford learned from them but couldn’t do it as well.

So no one has learned from Warrington as to how to beat Saints in a Big game?
