Harlequins RL side to face Salford City Reds at The Stoop, kick off 6pm

15 Luke Ambler
12 Chris Bailey
16 Mike Burnett
23 Mark Calderwood
3 Tony Clubb
1 Luke Dorn
9 Andy Ellis
6 Luke Gale
4 David Howell
11 Nick Kouparitsas
5 Chris Melling
33 Lee Mitchell
2 Jamie O'Callaghan
31 Karl Pryce
7 Chad Randall (c)
8 Karl Temata
17 Danny Ward
10 Oliver Wilkes
18 David Williams

Same 19 as against Hull KR, hopefully Bailey is fit and surely Calderwood will get a run out this week, surely

Salford Squad: Patten, Broughton, Jewitt, Nero, Anderson, Ratchford, Holdsworth, Cashmere, Godwin, Boyle, Neal, L. Adamson, Wild, Smith, Sneyd, Gibson, Clay, Paleaaesina, Spencer

Perhaps Big KP can try out his tackling techniques on Paleaaesina? That would show if he his trying hard enough.

I believe Gavin Henson is now available as a world class back who never plays rugby if Calderwood wants to retire

Stevo has picked us as his 'Banker Win of the Weekend' !!!!!

Well that's us humped then!

My thoughts exactly!!

I be more worried if ian millward tips us in the next couple of days. Then that's got be 50+ to Salford if both tip us...






But seriously if we plug the gaps in the middle of our defence in the final 10/15 minutes of the 1st half,that seems to be about the time we switch off. And also stop Salford getting the ball out to their wings (esp Broughton). Some Salford fans i have read claim that we be able to gain yards around the PTB area as they are slow in that area, if this is true then that's where Ellis could maybe make some yards as long as someone backs him up.



My only other concerns are this is the 3rd game with near enough the same 17. And also after the two beating that Salford have had over the Easter period they just might be the mood for some payback (i.e. like they did to the Bulls)

Besides all the above i might just temp fate and say we could win this one...

I still haven't seen Quins win "live" this season. Thought we were going to do it against the Tigers. For a moment I believed against the Dragons. Quins, please make it a Saturday night to remember.

Alanw, your fears have been realised, as Millward has tipped us!

However, Rod Studd in The Racing Post goes with Salford on the handicap (and who can blame him)

Can't say I'm looking forward to this game. Seeing only 9 wins in the last 31 home games does dent your enthusiasm somewhat.



Wonder if Calders will play? He is the bookies third favourite to score the first try (10/1). Maybe they know something we don't.

Maybe mad but 14/1 41 plus points is worth a dabble tonight as Reds are going to be knackered second half this year.
