Excellent by Hicks, compare the way he discussed that with the captains to Child last night, he has far more control if players etc.

Hindsight and atmosphere is in his favour here tbf.

[Live after death]

Carried on from last night this.

Clear and firm - everybody knows where they stand.

[Old Frightful]

"Don't do it again!"...

He's totally seen the criticism of last night

ZZ Top member in the crowd there?

Good bit of sleight of hand from Mark "All he does is kick" Sneyd.

Then he follows it with a touchline conversion.

Back to back tries now with Croft setting up Watkins.

Should be 0-14 shortly.

Time for the song?

He's pulling the strings brilliantly for Salford so far.

Make no difference, Hicks is usually like this and gives players instruction and sets the line.

Or in Brierly's case sit.

Bit of biff

Crowd chants "Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire" as Ormondroyd (Salford) and Hill (Huddersfield) square up to each other, which has probably confused both  players.

[Old Frightful]

Bigger cracks now appearing in the Giants' playmaker's game.

[Hughsehhh]

Good game this, solid hits, skill, good tries and biff.

If Salford score again here, I hope they don't mark that down as another Lolohea assist.

He's just given the touch judge a walk in.

[dkw]

Not reallyu much between these sides, Croft is the  differentiator in attack, superb player.

[bobbruce]

Didn’t know you couldn’t do that. 

[Old Frightful]

Nice backhander from King into Budgie's face as he tried to catch the ball.

Interesting point of law that one.

[Old Frightful]

Salford should have scored there, huge let off for Hudds.

What did he say?

[Old Frightful]

Another let off for Hudds, Salford making bad choices, why didn't Croft just drop on it?

Penalised him for stealing the ball in the air. 

[Old Frightful]

Just now, Barry Badrinath said:

What did he say?

I think he meant you couldn't pinch the ball in the air?

Maybe?

Yeah they could’ve put this game to bed with a score there. 

[Ullman]

Brilliant from Sneyd.

That is more or less what Hicks said.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Was that a rare sighting of a 20-40?
