Quote ="Uppo58"I think you make some really good points Lummy re our 3/4 development. Lets hope it is something that Radders is working on.
It's noteworthy also, that although Martin Gleeson (who is now on the Salford coaching staff) courted controversy in his later playing days, he was a class 3/4 in his pomp. Ian Watson says Gleeson is a totally changed person and an important part of the coaching team there. The Salford 3/4s certainly moved the ball through hands with real zip and looked very dangerous. Wonder if its the influence of a Test centre ? Their winger Johnstone looks to be a real find too, what a player he is going to be.
But we also have a Test centre too in our coaching ranks, albeit in his first season in the role. Maybe having a Test 3/4 involved in the coaching of a 3/4 line is the difference ? Well its working for Salford.'"
I dont think our ex test centre was renowned for his moving the ball quickly through hands or his passing ability
What he should be doing is coaching Griffin how to tackle and helping some of the younger squad like Nick Rawsthorne develop their tackling.
The big difference in the Salford team is the form of Robert Lui who together with Dobson are the best half backs in Super League.
. He was just so much sharper and faster, than previous seasons. Massive improvement of Fridays showing.
