There was one guy having a real go at Stu Littler last night. He was stood infront of me in the shed, and had Chris Charles on the back of his Salford shirt. He was havin a right go, and was bang out of order.

Ok.

well he is pretty sh@t dont blame him and is well and truly past it

I can think of at least 5 players last night who did not perform as well as Stuart Littler on the night.



But it's no good having a go at certain players because at the end of the day it's a team game and if 1 to 17 don't perform on the night in Super League your in trouble

Leu­luai - 3/10

Paul - 3/10

Jew­itt - 6/10

leuluai 3/10 i thought he had good game made some good yards at times.

Got bulldozered over for a very easy try by Cas though in the second half just after our second try. Going forward he gets noticed which for some reason makes us miss his defensive mistakes IMO.

Don't know where you get 1/10 for Smith, James. I thought he was better than Myler - He actually tried to run across the line to create something on several occasions there was just no-one actually ever in a position for him to give a decent pass to. Other than the poor kick straight at Owen in the first half I can't think of any glaringly bad play from him.



I see I'm not the only one who was quite perplexed at how Phil was given man of the match as well...

If and when I see Smith make a break from the base of the scrum this season I may change my opinion of him, to date he has failed to impress me everytime he's played his season.



But hopefully he will come good next week at Warrington Wolves and prove me wrong.

Yes but you forget that Smith is the fall-guy this season. Like Luke Dorn last season the "experts" have decided they don't like him, and no matter what he does or doesn't do,he's useless.

Look Jeremy Smith is not the fall guy this season, after speaking to Mr Simms the other week he convinced me that Smith will come good in time.



But as we all know down at Salford there are no hiding places and if you don't perform out on the paddock you get stick.

that's better

To be honest when we originally signed him from the Rabbitoh's I was one of the first people to voice my concerns at him. I've seen enough small flashes in his game to think that he still has the potential to be a good but not great player for us.



I think a lot of the abuse that he gets pretty much stems from the fact that Ratchford is often playing out of position. If Myler goes next season and we line up with Smith and Ratchford as a half back partnership I have a feeling that there won't be as much moaning about Smith, especially if after having a season over here under his belt, he starts to perform better.
