There's no doubting the magnitude of the task this week. But with the confidence from last saturday in our sails, the lads have presented themselves with a huge opportunity. Let's just hope from our meagre position in front of our PC screens and in the stands that they can have a great week in training and take pride in their work and the necessary detail required for Friday!

LET'S GO =#FF0000RED MEN!

[iLEE BRIERS and MATT KING
expect to be be back this coming weekend for the Wolves.....[/i

A defeat by less than 40 points would be a relief.

I spy an upset this week.

[iWe've beat them in the past and who knows what will happen this time around..

COME ON SALFORD REDS........

[/i

Looking forward to Friday should be a nice crowd, nice weather and a good game of Rugby I just hope we turn up and not get battered as I fear. We need to improve on Saturdays performance if we are to have any chance of beating Wire we played good but Bradford gifted the game to us, Wire wont be doing the same. As long as its a respectable score line ill be happy wire can score some points when they turn it on I just hope we don't let them run riot.

Come on Salford lets try and sneak a win, I would love nothing better!

RED ARMY!

Warrington lost to the Catalans at home the week after we beat the Catalans away, so on paper we should win.

Did you give Wigan, St Helens and Leeds a hammering aswell?

no but we've given you a few beatings on past Good Fridays as I recall

The old Warrington of course - everyone had dished us out a beating or two.

The 'New' Warrington are a bit different from the days of Lee Penny and Rob Smyth.

They're biting quite well already, Big Pev.

Anything else other than a total battering off Wire will be a positive for me. At home, you never know, but Wire look good this year.

As long as they show complete commitment and the correct attitude for 80 minutes, I'm happy.

[i100% agree with you 'Red Preacher'

HANDICAP ODDS

SALFORD CITY REDS +16 = 10/11

WARRINGTON WOLVES -16 = 10/11

TIE: 16/1

+16 in a game we regularly fook up in. If I weren't a wirefan, I'd be tempted by Salford there!

Wire could easily cover 16 however there's always the small chance of us sneaking a win so probably best to leave it.

Never ever bet on Salford. They always manage to bite you on the ass no matter whether you back them to win or lose.

Back them to lose then!

Salford win: 13/2.
Salford by 1-5 points: 9/1.
