Looked to me like Salford imploded courtesy of one of the more st stupidly conceived and ineptly executed passes I’ve seen in a long while. After that panic set in (a feeling we all know too well).
Walmsley is a good player but always seems affronted when someone has the nerve to tackle him.
Saints I’ll discipline still there but not punished on this occasion, seems all their whingeing has paid off.
Salford imploded because they were suffocated and put under too much pressure. They're like that, glorious when they're on the front foot, but pin them in and they don't have the forwards to get out, or the patience to just work hard to get their way back into the game. They were trying to score from anywhere, which is admirable, but prone to failure given the lack of quality in their backs. Their wingers are both shocking and without Lafai they weren't going to have enough to get back into it.
Still six or seven out for us, so happy with that win. The disciplinary will have it's feast with Sironen and Lees no doubt. Be interesting to see if they bother to punish the two worst challenges in the game, the bad high shot on Ritson and the shoulder charge on Lomax off the ball from Sneyd.
Horrendous game though, the play the balls a total mess, a classic Chris Kendall game. He has absolutely no ability to control the ruck and ensure a reasonably quick play the ball. The lack of a yellow card for Sneyd when he tackled Lomax, who had already been tackled and that tackle been ruled as a six again because of how slow it was, was bizarre. They need to come up with a solution for the six again, as it's a farce. Penalty on the first two tackles? Bring penalties back in for flops?
