i could not bring myself to watch the 'highlights', but I watched these attempted Rankin tackles live from the corner of the West Stand and they all looked pretty half hearted and feeble.
Given the level of strapping on his shoulder, which was then re-applied at the beginning of the 2nd half during the injury stoppage; i assume he was carrying a knock which he didnt want to aggrevate by tackling.

If injured, strange to play him in a role which was very likely to call upon the need to tackle one on one.

The two weeks off definitely did us no favours. We were confident after the Hudds and Wire games and Salford were in disarray after the Saints match. The extra time gave them the opportunity to re-group. We would have beaten them if we'd played last weekend.

I think you need to learn how to read, followed FC since 92 so know how poor we are. Salford are a poor side and to get into the 8 you have to beat the poor sides. Just because Koukash is treating Salford like a real life fantasy team doesn't make you a good side. As I said earlier no Dobson was the best news ever for Salford.

Just watched the game again on Fc live .will be interesting to see how theref explains ho poor he was ,in fact he was a joke,from back of the posts its hard to see if anything is wrong from the video tonight he was shocking .let salford get away with murder .Yes some silly plays cost us but like i have alredy said they were not that bad.The amount of ball yeamo had if he was faster than Usain Bolt he never had the opportunity to run.

Saw the tries last night. Tried to look at them as if I was a fan of both sides, and it's interesting. As a Hull fan some of the tackling looked poor, but from a Salford perspective I reckon I'd feel the same about Thompson's tries.

Just seen the tries, some of that defending was awful.
