Not sure Jewitt will be back

Are the club putting any ticket offers on for this match? Might be able to tempt a few mates down if the club make it worth their while. Surely it's better to get an extra 1000 or so through the turnstile by offering £10 tickets rather than run the risk of being outnumbered by the away contingent

.

as for Leeds team news, local rag bluey has confirmed that Brent Webb will be included in his 19, and Matt Diskin may join him. I dont expect either to play however with us playing Wigan and Saints in the next two weeks (after this game). Rob Burrow and Ryan Bailey return from injury.

Lee Smith
Scott Donald
Brett Delaney
Keith Senior
Ryan Hall
Kevin Sinfield
Danny McGuire
Kylie Leuluai
Danny Buderus
Jamie Peacock
Jamie Jones Buchanan
Carl Ablett
Chris Clarkson

Ali Lauitiiti
Rob Burrow
Ian Kirke
Ryan Bailey

Brent Webb
Matt Diskin

IMO

Going for a Salford win, 26-18.

we should score 5 tries again in this match

Think we'll make a good fight of it, but Leeds to run away with it in the final quater. Think they look pretty strong on paper now they're starting to get a few bodies back.

So it should be Salford 30 - Leeds 31 then

interesting game this one, leeds begining to start a cavelry charge to the summit salford should be full of confidence after last weeks victory at bradford.

I just hope the salford players are able to "back up" after such a impressive performance last week at bradford, if the salford players are able to reach the same levels of performance this week will they be able to cope with a leeds side who unlike bradford are use to winning and can close a game down quite easily .

Leeds are packed with international stars and the pressure should be on them to perform, lets hope the salford players who reaily only have fear of winning this type of game to beat make leeds play themselves out of pressure and danger rather than being unable to deal with the pressure turn over silly ball, give away daft penalties, and switch off 5 mins before the hooter.

Leeds are a champion team you give them a inch
a sign of any weakness they will punish you, thats why they win trophies and achieve the tag of a champion team because most of the time defeat and failure isnt a option

Its in the salford players to win this one, it just depends on how much they believe in their own ability to get the result.

any idea who the ref will be?

I wish I was paid £1 every time I look at the opposition team sheet and read "return from injury" linked to key players. It seems to happen every game in the last decade.

Ref: Mr Phil Bentham

I personally find the easiest way to Answer this is to say Bentham.

Salford City Reds squad

Fitzpatrick, J. Smith, Henry, Neal, Gibson, Adamson, Parker, Sidlow, Alker, Broughton, Spencer, Sneyd, Swain, M. Smith, Littler, Boyle, Tyrer, Holdsworth, Cashmere.

Leeds Rhinos squad

Webb, Donald, Delaney, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Sinfield, Bailey, Kirke, Ablett, Burgess, McShane, Clarkson, Smith.

No Jewitt, Ratchford or Talau again then, and no Sibbit, wonder how long hes out for. Nice to see Neal Sneyd and Spencer all in the 19 although I'm sure one will miss out, personally I would of included Leuluai as we need all the forward power we can get against Leeds, or is he still injured?

I think this highlights our lack of depth in the forwards really and something that needs to be addressed ahead of next season. We're fortunate to get Cashmere back last week, because if he was still out our pack would look pretty dreadful.

all of the injured players were in the gym doing weights this morning. Talau, jewitt, ratchford, mcgilvary, sibbit, lulu, most worrying was that holdsworth was in there with them. He was doing a bit of cardio as well though, so maybe he just has a knock?

Oh yeah forgot about McGilvary, whats actually happening with him? Think we'd be better off selling him and getting a better Ozzie in?

Slightly surprised to see Tyrer named in the squad after his performance at Bradford - presumably McGilvary is off at the end of the season given that he never makes even the bench any more?

Who would you bring in in place of Tyrer?? I think your right he looks the weak link in the back line and if we as meer fans can see it can you imagine what other coaches have planned when they come up against him "run at Tyrer and try not to let him spin round to quickly and hit you on the ar$e as you go through him"

I'd put Gibson on the wing and move Stuart Littler back into centre - that's assuming that we have another second rower available

To be honest (due to the points in my post earlier on this thread regarding lack of depth in the forwards) from the 19 man squad, I can't see where Shaun can go this week;

1. Fitzpatrick
2. Broughton
3. Henry (Although I would play Henry in the other centre to support Tyrer)
4. Gibson
5. Tyrer
6. Holdsworth
7. M. Smith
8. Cashmere
9. Alker
10. Boyle
11. Adamson
12. Littler
13. Swain
14. J. Smith
15. Neal
16. Parker
17. Sidlow

SNEYD STARTING AT 7

Really?

Wonder whats happened to Smith?

Talk about easing him in....his first game was against potential grand finalist and Challenge Cup holders, Warrington and his first start is against the reigning champions!
