Captain Cudjoe is back in the squad!!! Smith in for Dickinson

great to have our captain back!

mcgillvary will benefit too from him, straight in for gaskell you would feel.

surprised smith is back so early... like murphy lastweek... suddenly everyones getting over injuries asap!!

feeling as confident for a win here as could be against a team we dont beat very often

If we can get a win here It will feel like we are beginning to turn the corner, They are no better side than Wakey so why not, failing that a good performance.

The bumper effect!

Big game this they always have a bit of mongrel about them and we normally let Robert Lui play ‘ tuxedo’ rugby.

Needs us to front up big style early doors, whilst their confidence is low and get in their faces a win tomorrow would be a big boost for the cup tie too.

My team would be

Rankin
Jerry Mc
Leroy
Murphy for this game as Lui tends to run into that left channel and Mamo can’t tackle
Mamo or Darnell
Turner
Brough
Seb
OB
Clough
Mellor
Ta’ai
Hinchcliffe

Leeming
Roberts
English
Smith

Cudjoe won’t play

He's not playing !

fair enough, will save him for the cup game then

shame though.

gaskell to partner mcgillvary again

big trouble at salford, money problems..... some of their fans thought it was great when koukash left... should have backed him, may not be a club soon, not in super league anyway.

yes same thing could happen to us too if ken davy left.

really hope we can push on now for top 8 and a semi final at least in the cup to put a smile on his and the fans faces!

think well go:

Rankin
Jerry
Gaskell
Mamo
Darnell
Turner
Brough
Taai
O Brien
Clough
Murphy
Mellor
Hinchliffe

Seb
English
Leeming
Roberts

Leroy and Smith to miss

Going to be interesting for the Catalans game with Wardle and Cudjoe both available for that. Will they both return at the same time? Im sure looking forward to a back line of Rankin Jerry Leroy Warlde Mamo/Dickinson

Sorry this doesn’t make sense if Leroy is fit he should play unless you don’t change a winning team. But then if we were to win Leroy and Jake should have to wait in my opinion as the incumbents will have earned their places

Leroy isn't playing tomorrow. Hell play against Catalans though.

For me, they should come straight back in. Mamo was very suspect last week and the games are going to get tougher over the next couple of weeks.

Are any radio stations broadcasting the match? I heard there was no.one doing it...

You could try BBC Radio Manchester, it's as good a shot as any.

radio leeds covering highlights

Bloomin hell we don’t half make things difficult for ourselves at times. In the first half you’d think that the 17 had just got off the plane from oz not the coach they were so flat and lethargic.
I thought leeming made a difference in the second half- was causing them alsorts of problems round the ruck.
Another win and two more points. - that’s all that matters now!

Great to get the win tonight against our bogey team!
Onwards and upwards now with players coming back from injury and the new coach here, hope we can make it to the semi finals of the cup.... and finish in the top 8!

Did we have any other stand out players jools, or was it pretty much a grind, We do seem to be going in the right direction at last.

thought the first half we were really poor and was thinking here we go again with salford

we struggle in the backs to make any serious yardage apart from mcgillvary, something thats going to need to be addressed for next season, cudjoe may help on that score.

seems brough wants to bomb high balls now everytime on the last tackle, new tactic, some worked most didnt.

second half was much better though, although it could have been game over if rankin didnt make that try saving tackle on evalds.

leeming i thought had his best game for us in a very very long time apart from that pass to evalds!

ikahihifo ran with lots of intent lastnight too.

smith got alot of plaudits for his performance , still only 25 i believe.

salford tried to rough us up but we matched them, great to get back in the winnign habit, 4 on the trot now.. will have to play better to beat catalans.

great to see woolford at the end with the fans, thorman deserves alot of credit for his work too.

Maybe better that than the previous habit of a good 30mins and fading Jools !! As they say come good at the business end where it counts !!

Then again --a full 80 mins WOULD be preferable!
But as you say --2 points is what counts !
Keep it up lads!

And as the Salford players gloated to fans in the B R stand when they beat our weakened squad recently --nice to get one back!!

Rankin very solid at the back- try saver on evalds was brilliant- you could see the intent on his face to track across and make the tackle.
Turner was good and kept things ticking, Smith was very solid, Mellor also looked lively. Seb was poor in the first half - went off with a head injury-then came back on and was like a beast- back to the Seb of last year. Can someone please smack him across the head each week as they leave the dressing room if that is what it does!!!

Just watched highlights. Gaskell for first try in totally wrong position inside Turner instead of on his centre leading to Sau getting a walk in and then for last try gets totally swatted aside like a fly. Please dual reg asap, or sat on the sidelines until he decides if he wants to sit out his bloated contract and never play again afterwards or decides to take a lower contract at a championship side.

Completely disagree. Turner clearly came in when he didn't need to.

Gaskell was defending inside Turner all game, so he can5 llt have been outnof position as that was clearly his defensive position. Gaskell had his man, and Turner came in. Mis read by Turner, it happens.

Final try he got brushed off by a player who has been doing that to players all his career. People miss tackles, it is what it is.
I'm not quite understanding the scapegoating of Gaskell, especially when we have just won 4 games in a row....

Because he's on silly money and on ability/desire is only going to be used as cover. I really don't like the way he has pulled out of at least two games more or less during the warm up without a 'real' injury which leaves the game plan in total disarray.

if he was indeed defending inside Turner then why? Can only really be because he isn't big enough to stop Sau, which means he isn't skilfull enough to play in the halves and isn't big enough to defend in the centre, i.e. a waste of cap money.

gaskell has done ok standing in at centre

cudjoe is back now though so not sure if he will play unless they put him on the other side with mamo/mcintosh but cant see that
