Squad Lists:

Good luck tomorrow hope you can turn them over

Thanks.

I'd be much happier if we can come to yours and turn you lot over, next week!

Massive game and there is nothing to tell me that we couldnt sneak this one.

We have a good record v Salford. Fev gave Hull too much respect first 20. If we hold our own, we can come good.

We are on a good roll and need to come out of the game with our heads held high. the Challenge cup should not be treated as a distraction. If it was, we should have lost to Batley.

Good luck Leythers and do the Town proud. No injuries and no bans please (because I can see a few coming Featherstones way !)

I’ll be tuning in for this one but I hope our players have watched and learned from the Fev game. We cannot afford to come away from this game with potential bans. We need to compete by being physical yet legal, as error free as possible and by not giving away penalties. We also need to take Salford on when we get the chance.
If we can complete sets and defend at our best we can win this one.
Make em have it lads

No Liam Hood tonight.

Both him and Evans suffering from a bug.

Chance for Mortimer to get some game time then

Good first half. Take away some very dodgy calls from the ref and we could be more in front.
Keep tackling, keep the penalty count down and we have a very good chance of being in the bag. Big knocks from Higham and Hanson. Go old boys


Keep it up boys

Cracking game and very well done!

Excellent result. Very pleased. Salford really had nothing without Lui and, if that's what the 8s could offer, I really hope we get there.

A very well controlled performance tonight. Especially impressed with our second half. Kept the pressure up without giving away silly penalties. Great result for the clubs confidence and keeps the winning mentality. Play that rugby next week and we have nothing to fear.

And what a contrast to the grubfest that last night's game degenerated into. An excellent advert for the Championship.

WOW, what a result






Been in my wedding togs all day in Vegas, and just found out the score. Brilliant .

Love to see them pics Derek, the lads were great tonight.

Fabulous day all round. Got some great pics to show ya Ian. See you soon mate.

I thought that Featherstone looked more threatening in attack against hull than Salford did against us, so are defence will have to be on song next week.

Good to see Morty back he is so verities, and can create gaps as well, the question is who to leave out?And hopefully Rhys Evans and Hoody will be back next week, I think Dezzy is a player of promise as well,Hutchy, HH ,Jordan Thompson and Matutia were great for me.

Don’t think we’ll see Pete next week. Saw him hobbling into The Lock with Hutchy last night wearing a compression boot.

I think Acton deserves a mention too. He got plenty of 'special attention' (not in an illegal way) but kept coming back for more.

You would hope its all precautionary- otherwise why would he stay on the pitch last 20 or so

You sure that wasn't Via Via, he was at game last night hobbling about in a compression boot ??

Apart from a couple of minor bruises, all players came through at the end with a clean bill of health.

Great to hear. I really wanted us to put our best team out, and give it everything, but I was worried that it may come back to bite us with suspensions and even worse injuries. The win is all the sweeter if we have managed to avoid both.
Really enjoyed the game.
Hutchy, Reynolds, HH, Pete and Mickey H were huge for me in the game. With Hutchy, Reynolds and MH I think we have the three hardest tackling 6, 7, 9 in the business. The whole team can be proud though, every one of them stood up to be counted. Dezzie is a star in the making

I was a little concerned about the prospect of victory without the excellent Liam Hood, but it is great we managed to replace him with the equally talented Daniel Mortimer.

I agree VL about Dezaria. I said it early in the season. This young lad from France has a bright future in the game and I hope we can tie him to a long deal.

It is now just us and only 7 other clubs remaining in the cup. I read how some think the cup has lost its magic but not for me. Not after nights like Friday.

And even now, nothing excites me more than my beloved club being just two more challenge cup wins from Wembley.

It may well be two incredibly tough games but its crazy when you think of it like that

Definitely Pete.
