i have been informed not to put the team on anymore because opposition coaches will change the moves to overcome them.but if i where picking the team.1 wilshire 2 henry 3 littler 4 turner 5 white if fit 6 ratchford 7 myler 8 phil 9 alker 10 stapo 11sibbit 12 sidlow 13 swain subs parker paul jewitt adamson

fitzy could be our steve blakley of old. god its ages since we had a stand off with a side step. i think fitzy and myler could frighten the living daylights out of the oposition if given the chance. your right, if mcgilvery is fit then lets see what he can do. jeez we have got to give other options a go,

The main problem (one of many) I can see is we haven't got any "real" wingers in the squad. We're playing Henry/Ratchford/Wilshere on the wings when their best positions are blatantly elsewhere on the pitch (Centre/Stand Off/FB). I can see Gardner scoring a bagful of tries on Friday if our defence is as poor as last week. I know a lot of fans have questioned White's ability to cut it at Super League level but I'm sure he'd do a far better job than anyone in the shirts at the moment.

FWIW, my 17 would be.....

1. Fitz
2. Wilshere
3. Littler
4. Turner
5. Henry
6. Ratchford
7. Myler
8. Stapo
9. Alker
10. Cashmere
11. Parker
12. Swain
13. Adamson

14. Sidlow
15. Jewitt
16. Lulu
17. Paul/Smith

Whilst I agree with some of the changes suggested, particularly how to get Wilshire more involved the backs are largely an irrelevence until the pack can at least hold their own.
So far this year apart from periods against Celtic (same level as us) we have been battered. Before we go shuffling the backs the pack have to stand up to give some space to the backs to work in. Time for the Front row, which I thought would be our best area

to start producing and for the back 3 to give cover on the edge of the middle and to our centres.
Sadly bearing in mind who we play in the next couple of weeks i doubt the results will change, that said all most of us ask is for them to be playing to their max, if we still get beat so be it. Sadly bar one or two (leulai in particular) I don`t believe anyone has.

Fitzpatrick, Thornley, Henry, Smith, Sidlow, Cashmere, Alker, Stapleton, Sibbit, Parker, Swain, Turner, Littler, Leuluai, Paul, Ratchford, Adamson, Nash, Jewitt

sorry salfordmad should have put my glasses on and read yours

Someone mentioned options, so what about this?

1. Henry (Although not done much since, looked really good under the high ball against Celtic)
2. Ratchford (Out position I know but there is a gap to be plugged)
3. Wilshire (Not happy on the wing so maybe a run in the centres will get more out of him)
4. Turner
5. McGilvary (As others have said, "If he is fit"icon_wink.gif
6. Fitzy (As the last line of defence and taking the bomb he doesn't seem to be cutting the mustard, but has backed up well at times and still seems dagerous near the oppositions try line)
7. Myler (Needs to start bossing the team a bit more)
8. Stapo
9. Alker
10. Cashmere
11. Parker
12. Adamson
13. Swain

14. Sidlow
15. Jewitt
16. Lulu
17. Paul/Smith

Tony P and gilmour out for us lot, quite a few kids playing for us now

According to the ESL Website you are without Wilshere, Talau, Myler, White and McGilvray?

Salford coach Shaun McRae is also wrestling with a number of injury problems as he prepares to return to one of his former clubs.

Goalkicking winger John Wilshere has been ruled out with a knee problem and, with Willie Talau, Paul White and Dean McGilvray still on the sidelines, McRae has called 20-year-old former Wigan Warriors winger Andrew Thornley into his initial squad for what would be his engage Super League debut.

The Reds are still without scrum-half Richie Myler, who has a hand injury, but second rower Ian Sibbit and winger Mark Henry are set to return after sitting out last week's 48-18 home defeat by Harlequins RL.

looking at the 19 man squad i'd go for

fitzy
ratchford
littler
turner
henry
smith
paul
lulu
alker
stapo
sibbit
parker
swain

cashmere
adamson
nash
sidlow

It doesnt matter mate...you* could be playing at 7 and you'd still win easily

[size=59* I apologise for insinuating you are turd, you could well be a current or ex superstar for all I know!![/size

anyway i know it's totally off subject but what has happened to gray viane?

And for what its worth my take on the Smith scenario is that he's trying too hard to a) impress and b) impose himself on and control games...I don't think anyone other than the true greats (Lewis, Sterling, Ratchford, Kenny) can do that on their own and win games on their own.

Surely you're taking the p!ss?

Fitzpatrick isn't fit to clean Blakeley's boots!!

Young Andrew Thornley set to make his debut. It will be interesting to see how he runs. He will probably show more enthusiasm than some of the older more experiened players who are picked week in, week out regardless of their performance the previouse game.

if you read it properly it read COULD.

Ok, i know this isn't going to happen the form were in but if we beat Saints tomorrow, will everything that has happened so far this season be forgotten?

In one word.Yes! But in all honesty mate, HAVE YOU BEEN SNIFFING GLUE!

NO as this would on only paper over the cracks.
Anyway when we get beat 64-0 we can all come back on here saying how $hite we really are

If that happens ill streak

seconded

lol yer even though fitz isnt playing well id still have him in the team.made me laugh that he got man of the match last game lol..im glad they have 4 first team players out tonight,lets just hope we give them a game like we did last time we was their.

I think that says a lot about the quality of player at the club. The fact that Steve Blakely is so revered clearly shows that we have had very little quality at the club in the last 20 years. How depressing...
