Smith at 7, T Lee/Jules at 9, Davey to miss out.

I prefer Davey to Lee, but it's a shame for either TBH.



Who's your 6?

Its a really tough call tbh, because Hyde, Lee, Rinaldi and Davey will all feel that they deserve a shirt, however, Smith has been training with us for a couple of months now and still hasnt had an opportunity to play. Maybe it would be safer to give him a game in the reserves this weekend, then pick him in the first team next weekend. He could be a key player for us, but with Hyde, Rinaldi and Lee playing exceptionally well, and with Davey playing well V Catalans, it may not be fair to stick him straight in.

Kear said that Hyde picked up a slight hamstring issue from the Catalan game, so depending on how he's training this week Smith may come in for Hyde.



Saying that, if Hyde is fit that i don't think any of 4 half / hookers should be dropped.

Id say Smith will start on the bench - hyde and lee 6 n 7 (however im hoping BJ will come back a committed Wakefield player and not throw the teddy bear out !!) ... I would also like to see Davey involved rotating the hooking role - is time for this kid to be given a chance now !!!

I think its just great that we can have this conversation, given as last week JK was struggling to even get a team together.

What condition is the pitch in? Some Salford fans seem to suggest it's going to be a game played in the forwards dependant upon a good kicking game. If so, that may well influence Kear's decision

Wouldn't be too upset to see smith in there this week, might just have a point to prove against his old team.

looked a bit muddy last night, wet and soggy in the middle but plenty of grass down the edges for george and penny to tear it up

With Hyde and BJ most likely to miss out I'd go for;

6 - Harvey

7 - Smith

9 - Rinaldi / Davey

13 - Lee

JK said on Tuesday night he will have selection problems of a different kind this coming weekend.





Which is nice!

Is that half-back pairing a very subtle 2 fingers to the RFL?
