Looking at Friday's performance, and previous performances against Saints its pretty obvious that IF we get to OT we have to do something different. We cant expect to pick the 17 and expect a different result. We simply don't have the pack to compete with the Saints pack, so what do we change? We are obviously going to have to rely on making breaks from deep so in my opinion French HAS to play, whether that is at 6 or 7 with Leuluai playing at 9 (Powell doesn't look fit anyway) or on the wing or fullback. We have to roll the dice and try something. I was massively disappointed with our aggression, something that had looked better recently since the return of Matty Peet, but given the difference in size in both packs, we didn't even front up or try to rattle Saints early on. On another note, im not even sure id pick Lockers Friday, something I never thought id say, but he was targeted all night when he was on the pitch Friday, he was a spot for Saints behind the ruck as a lazy defender and there was a few occasions this happened, something Salford was look to do Friday. He looks completely knackered and it would be a huge same if his legacy of a club legend is tarnished.
