Sita starting on the wing tonight.

I wish they had names on the front of their shirts.

It was so much easier a few seasons ago when all our players were called Benson (I’ll get my bed).

All four teams due to play in the semi finals have made wholesale changes for tonight's games. Salford, having probably the smallest pool of players available, have been slightly limited in this respect. Wigan will lose to Saints (which would probably have happened anyway). Leeds will probably lose to Catalan although they could really do with winning. Either way, the fact that they are playing each other is good for us.

Right decision by Price and, should we pull off a win, it will be a fantastic bonus.

Have salford named their squad yet? i cant seem to find any info on their team.

Go back a couple of pages and there’s a link to the SL website match preview where the squads are listed. I asked the same and was pointed that way.

What a crying shame we weren't sponsored by Barbour.

Do we know why they initially announced a squad of 17 ?

cos thats all they've got.

tonights mission for our team, is probably just take as much out the tank as possible.

we saw how shagged out cas and hull were the other week.

That was Saints sponsored by Barba “for when you’re missing home”.
Widdop a doubt that will come back to haunt me!

I'll be happy if we stay within 16 of them. By rights our players tonight should be absolutely raring to go and rabid once they get out there. Fitness will probably see Salford win out but we need to make them shattered for in a few days.

Roebuck
Brand

How many more props are there who have played wing? Harvey Howard did it and I think Tony Clubb may have started in the backs. Any more?

Barrie McDermott.

Don’t forget Benny. Was out best winger 2003-2005. Became a world class prop. Not sure he ever tried the wing again though, but Sims popped up there a few times and even scored once IIRC?

Sita was 5/1 to score anytime this morning, and is now 6/4.

Silesi Finau played prop one game, then wing in the next back in the Wilderspool days.

Better than alright, longstaff, Dean and thewlis have been fantastic, brand is playing well too and I wish Robson was staying. Patton, Dean and walker have run the show. Again the players attitude and desire is absolutely spot on. I hope these boys can pick up the win they deserve. If kibula can play to his weight he could be a really, really good player. There's a future in the game for every one of our young players. Brilliant first half.

Still think Salford will come out and save their embarassment but I am pleasantly proven wrong by our lads. We've been electric in attack at times and could be a score or two even further in front without forward pass calls, to think we could've had 30 on them by half time is amazing. Defence has generally been brilliant too. Had a bit of a shake when Doro and Kibula subbed on but held on. Only mistake there at the end was neither centre or winger really getting off the floor and directly challenging the ball. We wanted to wait till they caught it and wrap them up but just got it wrong.

How slow are Kibula and Latu when they take the ball up ? Patton has had a good game and is creating good chances. I think the big problem for the young wolves will be to stop the big experienced Salford forwards from rolling forward in the second half.

doro looks superior to kibula, he's just too bloody big

Kennan brand is an awful centre, lost us this game with terrible play.

Barstewerds. Salford ought to be kind of embrassed at that tbh. Got out of jail with a penalty kick lol.
