Don't know about anyone else but after the elation of 2 great away wins on the bounce, I'm bricking it for Friday's feast with Giants.. My head and heart are at odds



Yes, it's a game we should win and for once, we are favourites, but we are Salford and the Giants are reeling and potentially due a massive performance.
For me it's going to be a very close game, but hankering for a 2 point winning margin

Calm down, Calm down - you can get a 4 point start as well with Betfred. Seems a reasonable bet to me as well.

I guess it depends which Salford team turns up. Likewise, the Giants have been blowing hot and cold so far this season.

All bookies (so far) have given us a start on Friday.

Seems like a good bet to me.

Hudds by 20.

Tough one to call, there's very little in it. Both teams are unpredictable so far this season and are waiting for that one big performance to spark their season into life.

I would hope that after 2 weeks with Harris and no major injuries we can push the Giants and sneak a win.

Above all else, I would love to see our defence improve.

Don't think the Giants are playing with much confidence at the moment - in their 30-6 beating v's Hull recently, they were really poor. I really feel we are kicking on now - im going for Salford by 12

Whos has Griffin replaced from last week's squad? Apart from Rapira & Dixon that's pretty much full strength isn't it?

Adam Walne.

Delighted to see Griffin back, really think he offers us plenty of go forward.

What's up with Rapira ?

agreed I think he's a decent prop. Theo back in the squad que w*nkfest!

Doesn't look like Broughton is in the Giants squad, not according to BBC website anyway. Shame that.

His bones are made from Digestives.

He was training away from the main squad this week. Looked to be still working on his fitness, which must be the only issue.

Griffin ex Fartown so will be looking forward to having a chat with Crabtree no doubt.

If Griffins fit (and he must be otherwise why name him in the 19?) then Walne and Theo to miss out.

you usually beat us at easter, unless we have improved massively i can see another defeat, no robbo or broughton for us expecting bailey to play in the halves and young connor to come in for broughton.

hope it's a good game and hope we can see a rare easter win at salford!

Anyone else think we'll struggle to get 5k today? Build up to the season what brilliant, feel good factor and the PR seems to have died off and less of the "walk up fans" seem to be talking about the devils!

Giants are notoriously bad travellers (like ourselves, so don't hate on me Fartown fans) despite being less than half an hour down the M62, would expect 400-500 today.

Bif off thread so I apologise, but think we really need a good challenge cup run, Quarters would be great obviously Semi's even better. People would start talking again then be talking and having a buzz around the city. Defeats to Saints, Widnes, Wire seem to knocked the stuffing out fans, didn't help to of them games being on sky. However I have faith and shall be there later!

No Luke Robinson. No Jodie Broughton. Just who are the South Stand going to target with their puerile abuse? Chris Bailey is the brother of former Reds legend and stalwart Phil, so maybe he fits the bill.

Last game he played (Hull), he was limping pretty badly. I'd guess his knee still isn't quite right.
