Seems like forever since we were at home but I’m looking forward to Friday. Assuming everyone is fit, how would you line up if you were picking the 17? I’d go as follows.
Hardaker
Marshall
Hankinson (kicking duty)
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Leuluai
Clubb
Powell
Navarette
Farrell
Greenwood
O’Loughlin
Bullock
Smithies
Sammut
Partington
Hard to change a side that’s finally on a run of winning games. I’ve said all along that we just need some consistency in the squad and we’ve got that now. Good to have some choices for a change but Isa has played every game so I’d give him a week off. Sarginson still rated 50/50 so no point taking any chances. A good win on Friday and up to 4th. Our season is not dead yet, have faith folks, have faith!

Hard to see him leaving Isa out. If Greenwood starts I can't see him doing 80 mins. Isa on the bench for me instead of Smithies. Morgan's 18 perhaps time he had a week off?
Agree with the rest.

I'd probably be more inclined to rest him next week, seeing as we have Saints the week after. Him in for either Smithies if Greenwood is fully fit, or give Greenwood another week to recover otherwise.
Other than that, same team as yours |

Same as last week I'd expect, wouldn't mind Sammut getting a bit longer on the pitch to see if we can improve our kicking game.

Same again for me as well. It’s an ideal opportunity to make players fight their way back in.

Well with HKR and London stubbornly refusing to collapse it's another must win game.
Here's hoping they're up for it.

Salford should line up something like this:
1. Evalds
2. Johnson
3. Welham
4. Inu
5. Sio
6. Lolohea
7. Hastings
8. Nakubuwai
9. Lussick
10. Dudson
11. Jones
12. Bibby
13. Flanagan
14. Tomkins
15. Burke
16. Lannon
17. McCarthy
We (Salford) are really short in the forwards. Mossop, Wood, Griffin and Walker are all missing and despite the loan deal being initially extended, Pauli Pauli has gone back to Wakefield.
Bibby has played a few times at second row this year so I wouldn't be surprised if he's there again tonight.
Losing Lui is also a massive blow.

Brace of tries (sadly balanced by a brace of errors) by Marshall.
Two (or was it three?) assists from Hankinson..
Forwards played with power (Clubb rolling back the years) forcing Salford errors.
Sammut grasping his extended minutes well.
Powell progressing with his improvement.
All in all very encouraging.

Solid stuff for 50 minutes and just had a bit more cutting edge than Salford in that time. Sloppy last 30 but another good win.
Is that O'Loughlin's career over with an achilles injury?

Big picture is 7 wins in the last 9 games. 6 out of the next 9 at home. We’re in a good position and still haven’t hit anything like a full performance. I suspect it’s coming though.

A good win especially losing Lockers after two minutes. Summats break and kick inside was great. His kicking generally was good and better than TL's (but then that has never been a strength of his game).
Thought the young forwards did well.

Sammut to start from now on, we look much more of a threat with him on the pitch.
Leaves us with the Leuluai/Powell conundrum though, I thought they both had pretty solid games today.

Thought Leuluai looked very sprightly in the first half but his decision making was poor. Squandered a three man overlap with a nothing kick early in the tackle count neat the line in the first half. Put in a few nothing attacking kicks throughout. Just another reason to play Summat.
Powell ran from dummy half more then once. Something he never seemed to do under Wane. I wonder if he's been told by Lam to give it go? We are also scoring tries down the right.
This is all good but I think there is way to go yet for us to look anything like as cohesive as a team as Saints. |

| It could look even stranger by 16 Aug if we beat Hull and Warrington are more than 6 points clear of 3rd place and in the CC Final when we face their reserves  on 16 August.
3rd place is a distinct possibility now. |

What a difference 5wks makes eh?
I thought Powell and Clubb were brilliant tonight, can’t find fault with their performances recently and making some of our, mine included, comments on here look a little silly. Long may it continue.
Williams was outstanding as was Marshall who repeatedly proves he is a born try scorer at any level.
Notwithstanding the fantastic set up for Hardaker’s try I didn’t see what Sammut had to offer last night.
We’ve gone from unlikely relegation contenders to unlikely Super League winners in 5weeks. It really is quite remarkable considering we were debating whether finishing 6th/7th would be called a “good season” when you balance it up against a poor start.
I still feel the real test of how far we’ve come and improved will be v Saints on 12th July. I can’t say I expect a win but equally I wouldn’t have said 5wks ago that we’d be sitting in 4th before the end of June.
As for Lam, I’m still not 100% convinced but he’s certainly doing no harm to his credentials at the moment.
We go again!

A good win last night. I thought that we did well to weather an early storm when Salford were making easy meters and we were scrambling from the off. we took a while to start going forward and that was largely through the backs. Hankinson had some sound relieving carries and the backs seemed a bit more coherent. Perhaps it was the warm temperature but both teams looked a bit lethargic. Our forwards are still not making much in the form of post contact meters and on the edge we were looking for a man to give an option whilst the ball carrier ran down some blind alleys. When Sammut came on we tightened up and started to look more cohesive.
The funniest moment of the game was the interception. Was that really the player who went 80 meters for Leeds just a few weeks ago, or am I mistaken?

Catalans at home aside, that was probably the best performance of the season so far. Defensively very solid for the most part and more variation in attack. The right side has, over the last 2 games, started to look like it has points in it (although this seems to have taken away from the left so there's a conundrum that needs sorting!) and team spirit has improved massively from earlier in the season.
Given we were still missing Flower, Farrel, O'loughlin from the 2nd minute and the long term injuries/gone and were playing a lot of high squad numbers I thought we looked sharp and focused. Tired towards the end but that was to be expected really.
Not quite the 80 minute performance we are all looking for but certainly a satisfying one and a positive move in the right direction. Not unreasonable to say there still seems a lot of improvement in this team too. Good signs.

It was Inu that made the break he is descriptively slow looking at him and Lolohea they are in poor shape for professional players. i cant believe that he went in for that try for Leeds |

I thought Powell was our best player and Partington looks a little better but I don't agree with several posters re Clubb who probably made one run where he seemed determined to break the line his remaining runs were again for me slow and lacklustre.
I cannot see Lam starting with Sammut as he wont drop TL or Powell to allow Sammutt to start.
I thought Salford were appalling with the number of mistakes they made and if I'm totally honest although we are playing better to think that we are 4th in the league sums up the poor general quality of the competition.
Am I correct in thinking that ZH took one of the conversions last night? If so why did he do so?

Some negative people on here. Cheer up!
Look at it this way we are 4 and have not hit any form. We didn’t play that well last year until towards the end of the season.
Hardaker took the kick as Hankinson took a knock and was having treatment.
Go have a drink enjoy the sun and enjoy being 4th |

I was wondering whether the plan is now to have Zak kick on the left side of the field and Hankinson on the right. |

NO, as said above Hanky was gettting treatment at the time of said kick, He still kicked 4 from 5 iirc |
