Looking forward to this game. After making the top four this was one of the games I was looking at for a win. Now after two games, two losses for us and surprisingly two wins for Salford, we are probably looking at keeping the scores close and just hoping to score a few try's. That's a sad way of looking at it but in reality it's where we are at. Here's hoping for an upset but I'll go for Salford by 10. Up The Fax!

Head says we are in for a right stuffing 6 v 48 Heart hopes for a miracle turnaround in attacking form just when we don't expect it. All ready for a surprise fax performance because we need one to wake us all up from the doldrums.

Listen to your head.

Salford are the toughest in the Middles - Lui and Hastings at half backs, just too good. But come on Fax, give it your best shot!

The win at Hull kr was a Slight surprise ,But the win against Widnes Wasn't, What a shocking performance by the Vikings. Jackson Hastings is a Great find Completely reEnergised Rob Lui,And Your fellow Haligonian Niall Evalds is in Good form, See you Sunday.

We need to tackle like demons in defence and be a lot smarter (not "safer"icon_wink.gif on attack. We should realistically expect to lose this one by some margin, but we need to try and score some points this time.

Let's give it our best shot and if we lose then make sure it's because they show some quality rather than us gifting it to them.

Up the Fax!!

Good ref - Tom Grant

Bookies give Fax 14 start

Will Salford bring more fans than Toronto? Will the North Stand be open? If not, will they cause trouble in the SS?

North stand shut. No trouble whatsoever last time they played here

They'll behave so long as our own fans keep the singing to supporting Fax rather than trying to take the mickey out of Salford. Please, please, don't start that cringeworthy chant of "Super League, you're having a laugh" or similar - after all, we've not been good enough for SL for 14 years...

Salford by 36.Just hope we do enough to make me consider a HKR trip.

Feels like printing money that given Salford should be quite a bit better than toronto.

I don't think that's far off, unfortunately.

My team for Sunday:-
1.Moss
2.Heaton
3.Wood
4.Butler
5.Sharp
6.Murrell
7.Johnston
8.Baldwinson
9.Kaye
10.Fairbank
11.Cooper
12.Grady
13.Grix
14.Fleming
15.Moore
16.Mahar
17.Tangata
18.Jones
19.JWH.

We might do it with 19 lads in't team.

That looks a strong team we could match salford for the first 40 but think we could get hammered in the second half. Its the lack of points we score which is costing us

Pity we can't play Hull..

Perhaps we should loan Fev a couple they have named a 15 man squad v Leigh one of them being Dakota Whylie on loan so only 14 contracted players available

The Salford team will probably look something like this:

1. Evalds
2. Chamberlain
3. Welham
4. Sa’u
5. Bibby
6. Lui
7. Hastings
8. Tasi
9. Lussick
10. Nakubuwai
11. Jones
12. Lannon
13. McCarthy

14. Wood
15. Burgess
16. Burke
17. Murray

That’s a massive shame.

Salford have sold all Their allocation of 800 advance tickets.
Should be a Good atmos6.

Great to see and we welcome them to the Shay. Surprised they've sold out tbh, 'cos they struggle to get over 2k for their home games, but then again Fax take a few hundred on the road with smaller attendances. So game on, it should be a cracker.

Great to see Toulouse beating Widnes as I type, but I don't get what all the fuss is about Toronto. Good team, but having watched an atmosphere charged Leeds - v - Hull KR, it's so drab watching the Toronto game. Quiet crowd, and I've no idea where they get these huge crowds from. A few tents behind one set of sticks, a car park at the other end, and an half empty stand opposite the cameras. Must be packed under the cameras I guess. Multiple makings on the pitch, and it sounds like the ground is next to an airport!

EDIT: Toulouse thrash Widnes which see Fax leap frog them on points difference. Get in there!

The Salford ticket sales are very good news. I was begining to think that all the simple lessons on promoting matches had been forgotten and slipping by to our old ways so pleasantly surprised. Let's hope fax surprise us all on the field It's the classic fax scenario of everyone expecting a Salford win by some way and fax trying hard but not being able to score so let's see which fax turn up today.
Is Mark Moore still with the club its all been very silent of late ?! Who is running the show ?

Hard to think of a positive after that. There is a lot of work to do to is my main thought and changes a half back is screaming out as the top of the list. The attack was simply non existent. Hard to watch today as a supporter

Sheer fitness and linespeed versus an off form team who again achieved top 4 and that's enough for them
