We did but cocked it up

Poor decision. Poor coach.

Let's play devils advocate for a minute.

Assume we went for touch, didn't score then Salford score a try in the corner. Wilshire misses the kick because he was off sorts. Salford win 18-16

Or Salford get over the halfway on next set and win a penalty, goal kicked 16-16.

Now i am sure if either took place everyone would have been saying we should have taken the 2 on offer.

It was for me a sensible decision and we got the 2 and then got the ball back from the kick off.

But the odds of them getting a try from withtin there own 20 are surely a lot less that from getting one in our half

It's all if's and buts at the end of the day. It wasn't as bad as people are making out.
You hear it all the time in a tight game take all the points on offer.

Yes it would have been hard to see Salford score from inside thier own half, but then it would be hard to see a team lose a scrum in the dying seconds
