My one quibble - and it’s very minor - is that we had a chance to take another look at Walters in place of Byrne, which we didn’t take. Am not really knocking him, but he is a high risk of a suspension, and his impact is limited (not helped by staying on the bench all game).

My highlight of the night was the same as everyone else’s - seeing Field in full flight. 2 more to go.

Who do you take off for Walters? If he’s second row then it’s Farrell or Nsemba.

If you’re talking prop, potentially risky this end of the season since he hasn’t played there for us ?

I think it was just unfortunate that is was the last game of the season and the LL presentation, otherwise we may have seen Walters on for Faz instead

For heavens sake do not do that if we are playing Stains in a semi.
I excuse Junior from that criticism after his kick to the corner and then again passing out the ball on his second half rampage up the field.
i'm just enjoying seeing him stretch his legs. Looks like the confidence is back now and he's happy to go full tilt. He must have made some metres last night as he seemingly broke the Salford line every time he took the ball
It must be my chickens eggs that’s helping him 😂 I gave him six eggs that were laid on his birthday.

Last night after the game he saw me & said "the eggs you gave me were amazing, I’ve never tasted eggs as good & the yolk was such a deep yellow, I loved them, thank you". 😂😂🐓🥚

that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

During the LL Shield presentation my wife asked if me if all the players get a medal for the whole season?

She was talking about Abbas Miski in particular, because he wasn't playing

Thanks. Having checked the itinerary I think it's going to be after the event as it will kick off at 4am Aussie time and I will be in a rain forest in the Cape Tribulation area which definitely doesn't have a TV before heading back to Cairns later that day. Bad planning all round :lol:

Thought Chris Kendall had a great game tonight he let the game flow & especially how he handled the incident with Byrne/Sidlow.
I think overall Kendall had a good game, I haven’t got any issue with how he refereed it but thought that decisions that could have gone either way he gave to Salford.
