5 including Inu. Watkins & Brown injured, possibly Ikahihifo as well. We’ll have Tanginoa, Miller, Lyne & Kay back. Should run up a cricket score.

I’m much happier with ugly away wins, it’s at home we need to entertain and hopefully attract.

Just let's get a win.let's play well. No easy games in S L for us

Same here I think Wigan proved that last week.

Would be nice if Salford do a Cas (v Saints) and forfeit the game 24-0

And westerman back aswell

The Salford game is a must win game, especially given the situation they are currently in. I beleive we can go on to win 6 or 7 more before the season is done and that we might get a sniff at 6th place!

hope not, we've got tickets now so, I'd rather watch us give them a damn good thrashing (in the John Cleese style)

Salford haven't announced their squad for the Wakefield game - it should have been released by noon.

Problems??

It appears they just signed Robson from wire on 2 week loan. That indicates they can’t field a team and haven’t named a squad.

Surely if they’re not in a position to have a squad they should be made to forfeit like Cas were as they also couldn’t name a squad by the deadline?

It’s not the strongest Salford side we’ve faced or beaten in recent years but we shouldn’t underestimate them, they have looked good in patches and with pace coming from a number of avenues and players like Livett and Taylor in the forwards, they are not to be taken lightly.

Still think we have a chance at another 2 points though.

The games yet another opportunity to take the advantage, we have had a number of games like that this season.
It would be extremely disappointing not to come away with a win.

If you're going to the game, You wanna hope the M62 isn't like it was this afternoon, 10 miles of stationary traffic from milnrow right back to Ainley top, a mate of mine was stuck in it 5 hours, got diverted off top of saddleworth and it's still shut west bound now

Totally agree with you. My main defence of CC has revolved around the appalling bad luck he’s suffered. Now as you say we do seem to be getting the odd break. We need to capitalise on these and start to really head upwards again.

This game is not a given and if we give it our best shot but lose I’m ok but if we play to our Hudds level potential I think we will be too much for Salford.

Whatever the mindset was for that game it needs to happen again. Those three in a row games were about survival, this one is about success and I think we all deserve a bit of that.

Up the Trin

It’s stories like that which make me dread the end of lockdown. Over a year now without being stuck on the M62. Every cloud I suppose…

Hopefully it will have cleared by Tomorrow night.
The 5 hours reminds me of our away fixture at Crusaders all those years ago, when the M62 was closed for most of the day due to a "jumper".
The game was eventually played but, we turned back after trying for 5 hours and still barely into Lancashire.
Ironically, the England football team were playing that day but came second to the Germans after having a perfectly good goal chalked off.

Back to the game, it says in the conditions that you must arrive 90 minutes before kick off - in view of the unpredictability of the M62 is this rule actually enforced ?

Apparently, a beer tanker that went up in flame, oh the waste.

Game is off!

They haven't got 7 down with Covid though...so 24-0???

Sounds like they have got the seven according to this.

Well, that was made to look b*llocks pretty quick, bad luck returns.

Kind of makes a mockery of us last season busting a gut fulfilling fixtures with multiple players stepped down through track and trace and injuries when on a few ocassions we could likely have postponed.

As I've always said (from now on), honesty doesn't pay.

Thi. Nk I would prefer vfor the club to go through the season knowing they have done things correctly. Honesty doesn't always work in your favour but at least your own minds at rest.
Cas have a final to play and no one will convince me they have not taken the decision to not play in to account.
SALFORD have almost certainly used the rules to there own advantage.
The outcome of course works against clubs trying to do the right thing

Certainly hasn't for us. It's admirable that MC and CC have played fair in the past but it hasn't done us any favours.
Time we joined the rest in playing the system IMO.
