“Not convinced”: Barrie McDermott expresses doubts about a significant Salford Red Devils decision.

In the Betfred Super League, the Salford Red Devils defeated the Leigh Leopards once more, leaving the Leopards with just one victory overall.

Throughout the match, Marc Sneyd was the player with the most influence and was chosen Man of the Match by Sky Sports.

“Yeah, it was fun,” he said to Sky after the game. “But we don’t make things easy for ourselves, so we managed to get through the game and get the two points, which is what matters at this point in the season. If we can keep knocking them off, we’re happy enough.” The amazing thing for us.

“Yeah we take a lot of effort into is our defence and we’re trying our best to control the ruck a little bit better than we did last year and I think we’ve done that, we took a pretty decent step forward in that sense and it’s starting to show on the field. I think our middle are doing a great job for us in the main part so hopefully we continue doing what we’re doing and just keep getting better at it.”

Asked about the response to defeats to Wigan Warriors and Hull KR, Sneyd said about how much soul searching there had been:

“Yeah, I’ll tell you the truth, not much if I’m honest. We know what we’re about. We were what, five minutes away from the win against Wigan. Performance-wise we were on and that’s what we’re looking at, performance.

“And then obviously, Hull KR last week was really disappointing. That was one of them where you learn as quick as you can from that situation. We know that’s not us, what we dished up last week and we’re unfortunate that it ended up being a cup game but it’s one of them, it is what it is, it’s done and dusted now soon as that full-time whistle’s blown you can’t really do anything about it so yeah we learned some lessons but as far as soul-searching because we know what we’ve got and we know what we can do so we just kind of reiterate it, get back to what we do best.”
