Salford were excellent, leeds were terrible

Two weeks of Smith coaching and a host of quality players coming back has somehow made Leeds worse than they were before.

Im not sure you can blame or judge Smith after one game.

So the player's are at fault, nearly all teams respond to a new coach.

Poor Mr Agar then, not his fault then that the team were rubbish early doors?

All Teams responding to a new coach is a bit of a myth.

Players have to adjust to new systems it can take a bit of time.

Leeds to run rampant.

Well, far from run rampant, they barely managed to run at all, particularly in the first half.

They had more possession in the second half, but all that did was demonstrate their lack of creativity.

I think you have to see them live to fully appreciate how very ordinary they are (which explains why that "Sir Kevin Sinfield" character keeps predicting they'll win).

I fancied Leeds to get a bounce here, and went along with Sir Kev's prediction.

The City Reds will be pleased to have got the 2 points against a relegation rival.

Salford are in false position IMO, they look like a decent team, theyll be fine if they can avoid injuries especially to their halfbacks.

 

croft was outstanding, as was Watkins who looks back to his best
