I thought Salford tried the best and a bit too hard at times but we got the tries when it mattered. The one on half time was funny but a good try non the less.
Why did he pull Field back about 15 minutes before the end? I thought he played advantage already?
Then the rules need changing, nothing malicious in either tackle.moto748 wrote: βFri Sep 01, 2023 11:18 pm The French tackle: legs went over the horizontal, and that's a pen every day of the week these days.

This wasn't that. Fair play to French for not making a meal of it.
