[quote="Clearwing":93mmi75a]Matt Shaw seems to think the restriction on salford will be lifted[/quote:93mmi75a] Fine if there is a change in circumstances in line with the conditions imposed on them. Not at all fine if nothing at all has changed from Saturday, or the changes in circumstances do not warrant the lifting of restrictions as per the original conditions. I trust, for the remaining integrity of the RFL (such as it is) that if they are lifted it is the former.

[quote="Sal Paradise":1w0c5ge2]Why people buy companies can be confusing - like why do we have so many barbers - maybe because I am bald I don't understand it?![/quote:1w0c5ge2] It’s the same reason why Harehills has so many take away food businesses, many of which are completely empty most of the time. Believe me, the exponential growth of barbers shops has absolutely nothing to do with people’s hair growing so much faster nowadays.

The 17 will be very interesting. I'm guessing Arthur will make relatively few changes - possibly just ECW in the backs, Jenkins and O'Connor into the 17 and Gannon starting. If we lose at Salford he'll have no choice but to make more changes, or we could quickly end up in a situation similar to the last few seasons where we are under pressure on the table from the off and the reserves are less and less ready to step in due to their lack of games.

I'd expect ECW in for Riley Lumb, Holroyd starting in place of Oledski and Jenkins coming in on the bench for him, with O'Connor replacing Edgell.

If O’Connor is fit he has to start for me. Ackers was terrible last week. I’d also like to see Gannon start. ECW should get a run but it’s a shame it’s at the expense of lumb. Be interesting to see if he starts Cooper or Holroyd with Mik missing.
