I hope so, if he is fit and raring to go then it's a no brainer.

I'd like to see a couple of the Salford backs go in for 20+ tries, we certainly have the pace out wide and power in the centres.

i totally agree with this, Ben jones Bishop and Johnson are capable of this,

If Josh can keep the form up from last year he's in with a shout (game time permitting)

And MCB and Niall in the shadows waiting for a chance to impress can only spur the 1st teamer's and themselves on to produce when the opportunity arises.

Personally think Sa'u and Chase will bring in a truck load this year

Griffin and S'au are both very strong, powerful centres and MCB offers blistering pace. I think it gives Harris options to best suit the type of opposition. Also, I have to say I think Niall Evalds has the potential to develop into a top class player.

Evalds has that 'something' that really great players have. It's hard to define but you can see it every time he plays. Theo is another young player that has it.

After castleford away last season, we were talking to a couple of their fans and one asked who our full back was, cos considering the conditions, it was the best display he had seen in 30 years watching rugby.

The Cas fans are very knowledgeable.

Certainly a high percentage of them are. Sharp, expert, humble and fair.

They're both nice chaps too.

Unless I'm going completely nuts Jay Walton tweeted today that he re-signed with Batley. I can't seem to see any mention of it anywhere though. Strange decision of Salford if true unless it's a loan. Appears one less player to consider for starting squad.

Think that was a wind up. Doubt he'd be going anywhere, for me got the making of Hocks #13 understudy if just by chance he happens to get into a spot of bother this season, perish the thought.

He also tweeted 'that last tweet wasn't me'

And Cuthbert Dibble & Grubb ..
Didn't know you were on first name terms with them Butcher

I'm hearing full squad apart from Junior Sau which is not to bad. I can see Walton starting or making the 17
