Hopefully we can turn things around in the next few days, because if we are not at our best on Friday Wakefield Trinity Wildcats are just the sort of outfit that can punish us.

I am hoping to see Jason Walton, Lee Jewitt and Jordan Turner included in the squad for this game, but of course that will be down to our head coach to try and decide the best available team to face the Wildcats on the night.

Here's hoping the real Salford City Reds are on view this Friday...

Should be due a win this game or the next.

is it an all ticket game or can i pay at the gates

It's all ticket, you've been limited to 800 tickets. Turnstiles open 3 hours before kick off, I'd get there early if I were you.

not being funny but are you taking the pi$$ mate ??

Here's hoping for an improved display on Friday after the debacle of yesterday's 2nd half (although after the 96-16 game our opponents, Wakefield, were supposed to be in line for some kind of backlash that didn't quite materialise - hopefully history won't repeat itself)

I would like to see SM switch a couple of things around.
Perhaps alternatate Smith & Paul at 9 - freeing 6 & 7 for Ratchford & Myler - and move Alker into the 2nd row. Smith's said he'd like to have a go at 9 so maybe a couple of games there may boost his confidence? Whilst Mal's defence & stamina is still up there with the best, I think his speed and passing at the play-the-ball isn't. In the 2nd row he may be able to stay on the pitch longer too rather than the interchange of dummy-halves with Robbie Paul.
Also from 9 maybe Smith could have a bigger influence on play after an offload from Cashmere.
Maybe give Henry a go at centre too as I sometimes think he is lost/ under-used on the wing.

It may be obvious for us fans who have been before but this must be his first time going to Salford. Maybe he doesn't want to be stranded in Salford with no way of getting into the match?

And the likelihood of that happening in any Super League game is?..

we expecting 8,000 sellout i think wakefield said u16s dont need to change there vouchers and and wakefield will bring more than 800 fans maybe 1500+

???

Why not after the horror show of sunday start to mix thing up a bit !!

only got a few games left now and nothig to loose.

I have been very critical of smith performances at 6 but I really do see him excelling at hooker. looked really good of the mark against wigan and quick when running from dummy half

1. Palfrey
2. Henry
3. Turner
4. Wilshire
5. Mcgilvary
6. Ratchford
7. Myler
8. Cashmere


9. Smith
10. Leului
11. Alker
12. Adamson
13. Swain

14. Walton
15. Stapo
16. Jewitt
18. Sidlow

No he's not its a geniune question, strange i know on RLfans but there you go




Expect a tough game with both side getting bitched this week in training after last weeks results.

I like coming to the Willows (bet you don't hear that too often) but i like the the old place.

will you still like it in 2012 when we're both in NL1 due to our grounds not meeting the SL criteria ???

Maybe not as much but if Wakey are playing Salford in NL1 i will be there.


Lets hope we can sort ourselves out.

fully agree mate -

Eh?

pass me something of what he's been drinking at least we might look like world beaters on Friday night, lets hope it doesn't rain.

wont happen

sorry pev forecast is rain and more rain

Every time the ref and various judges etc are posted, I think "Hopefully we'll get Ganson" - then stop and realise how poor the refs are. Ganson and good!

SALFORD CITY REDS 19 Man Squad to face Wakefield Wildcats:

Wilshere, Henry, Smith, Palfrey, McGilvray,
Cashmere, Alker, Stapleton, Swain, Littler,
Leuluai, Paul, Ratchford, Adamson, Nash,
Fitzpatrick, Sidlow, Sibbit, Myler


Wakefield Wildcats squad

Blaymire, Atkins, Brough, Demetriou, Drew,
Snitch, Wilkes, Grix, Obst , Stosic, Bibey,
Henderson, Gleeson, Leo-Latu, Korkidas,

I though Childs was ok when we played saints and leeds, why not make it three times lucky with him.
