It's a tough game to predict. See a good slog in the middle plenty of grunt required in my view to pull it off.

I can see what you mean, and I'm sure he'd be good but I quite like him in the backs.
Some teams have real monsters in their back line and we could do with keeping some beef back there too.

1. Max Jowitt
2. Tom Johnstone
3. Joe Arundel
4. Bill Tupou
5. Ben Jones-Bishop
6. Jacob Miller
7. Liam Finn
8. Nick Scruton
9. Mikey Sio
10. Anthony England
11. Matty Ashurst
12. Danny Kirmond
13 Tinirau Arona

14. Anthony Tupou
15. Scott Anderson
16. Mickael Simon
17. Chris Annakin

Craig Hall (picked up injuries last two weeks)
Reece Lyne (just coming back from injury, no point risking him)
Plus we need to go big against Salford.

That looks a strong and the preferred line up for me.

Looks to me like Johnstone may miss this week, so possibly Reece Lyne to come in for him?

A.Toupou hasn't hit the heights expected in my opinion needs to lift to get us the 2 games we require

He's been pretty good, and considering he's been playing with a mouthful of stitches I'd say he's done us proud.

Cas losing gives us a big opportunity in this game. We could be 3 points clear of 7th and only points difference from 5th.

Really? Thought he was immense against Catalans.

So has Johnstone been dropped for poor defence then? Seems a bit daft, considering Jones-Bish's attacking attributes also out way his defensive deficiencies. Or is TJ carrying an injury? Thanks.

Probably has a knock from last week, so looks like he's being rested so he can tear Hull KR apart next week

Are yoy being serious.

4-0 down players watching while they score from a kick like last week

Johnstone went into last weeks game carrying a slight injury

Cobb has got every decision right so far, atrocious discipline and completion rate so far. Lucky that our goal line defence has been decent and their attack poor otherwise it would be a lot more. Our kicking game has been pretty good though, if we can keep them out till we're back to 13 then cut out the penalties then we've still got a chance.

The 2 sin binnings have cost us 18pts

Very poor

I think Danny Kirmond needs to come off, dropped the ball from a Miller pass with an opportunity ahead of him, sin binned for tripping again and now a silly charge down attempt gifting Salford a back to back set from which they've scored.

Shambles of a performance. Big response needed next week.

Was hoping for more but we've had some hard games with short turnarounds and fatigue is definitely a factor. Playing for pride now

Another short turnaround this week too.

Players need rotating now we need to beat kr and luckily they have less of a turnaround than us

Poor performance but they've earned a off week so, there you've had it!
Back to it next match please

Not good tonight, seems fatigue got the better of us. Just move on to next week now. Surprised Chester didn't freshen it up a little this week with 2 or 3 more changes with another 6 day turnaround to follow though. Howarth & Lyne Spring to mind in particular given the workload Sio has had since Moores ban and how Salford struggled to cope with Lyne earlier in the season.

Well I knew we wouldn't keep the run going for ever but still disappointing to lose. You can't hope to win a game when you play with 12 men for 20 minutes though.

it's up to Chester to get them up for the nest game and make sure the preparations right and all the team know what eaj of them need to do. Even after this game they'll know where it was lost and won't have lost too much confidence and momentum.

Anyway onwards and upwards. Hull KR at home next and a perfect opportunity to get back on it.
