That'll be a big benefit to you if he is missing. Was their standout forward against us (Cas) the other week.

Was our only decent player on sunday too and that was having to play prop! Decimated squad already. Would fancy Salford strongly for the league game but not for the cup.

EGP and misses both games, Massive loss, easily been our best player this season.

Struggling a bit for props now with 4 first team props injured, one banned and now Ellis (who played prop on Sunday).

Still should have a decent side out so we have a good chance, but you will come here on Friday feeling really confident.

But the cup game might see the return of the Beast of Barton: Gareth Hock. He'd have a field day against a decimated pack.

Will have Paea and Carvell back for that game, that will make a massive different to our pack.

Hock's nickname is 'The Butcher' iirc. Not that I'm biased in this in any way, but the Butcher of Barton may be more apt?
