What do you think your team will be this weekend?

From the glimpses of Foran and Fages in the halves, they dont appear to be clicking yet, or is that because they are not working behind a pack on the front foot?

From a Hull perspective, we have Yeaman, Holdsworth, Galea, Ellis, Tickle all out (Tickle injured last weekend) but luckily we are ok in the back row.

Should be a good game, looking forward to getting over and seeing it.

If we play like we did against Huddersfield in our last home game, I feel fairly confident of a win. Its a big 'if' though!

Should be a good un.

One of the highlights of last season was our win against Hull....however predicting the result of any SL game this year is fraught with danger. A draw maybe on the cards

A lot will depend on what injuries we have or who we have back. I've seen no news on Gaskell's injury that forced him off early on Sunday, are Gleeson & Williams back fit? how far off is Gibson? Can Mauro or McGoldrick force their way back into the line-up? and will Emmit make his debut? I’d like to see Evalds back in the side in (wing in place of Murphy maybe if Williams isn’t fit) as every time I watch this kid at any level he just oozes class.

Oh and does anyone know how far off is McPherson from being back in full training?

As an aside, the average age of the team last Sunday was just 24 with the back line average being just 22 years old. 5 of our forwards were 23 or under, only 4 players being over 30, a huge lack of experience I feel, but throw in some of the names above and overall considering everything we've been through over the past few months, we don't look in too much of a shabby shape.

It's a really young Hull side too, the average age of the likely 17 this week is only just over 24 and the backs average under 22.

Tom lineham v Broughton will be interesting

Ford, Evalds, Williams and Emmitt in the 19 man squad. Jewitt, Murphy, Gaskell and Ajwang out.

Likely Hull side below - 8 players through the academy, which is really good.

anybody got the address/postcode for eccles rugby club? had it but lost it due to phone crashing, been advised to park there and not in the stadium grounds after the fiasco last season of getting out

Eccles Rugby League Club
(incorporating Salford Juniors)

See that Gleeson should be back this weekend so that off sets the loss of Gaskill and that Evalds & Ford are included so you'd expect one of them to make it at least.

cheers

As long as there is no murphy Im happy, looking forward to this game.

Will be interesting to see the crowd numbers. Think a saturday 3pm should bring a few more for both sides.

No murphy in squad....good.

With some of the changes to the squad makes me think if Noble was behind some of the new recruitment in Emmit and Gaskill as well as having something to say with the selection for tomorrow.

Like others I'd be happy if we've seen the last of Murphy (though without malice as he came at a very difficult time to help the club) and I've hope that Evalds gets his chance as he does look a bit special.

I wonder if the probable announcing of the new coaching set up tomorrow might motivate some of the players who will be playing for their careers at the club.

Football on at the same time so dont expect a big crowd.
When will they realise at Salford that a lot of fans dont just support Salford but also football clubs i.e Bury,Oldham,Bolton to name just three.
I expect about 4300 if we are lucky.
Would love to be proved wrong though.

Junction 11

Was Foran injured or dropped?

Would be surprised if he was dropped as he did look like he had started to boss things more on the pitch.
