Having calmed down (a bit) over the last few performances and looking at the various threads sounds like there could be several changes against Salford .

Think ashurst batchelor huby Johnson arundel arona jowit definitely injured

Pauli is back , tupo could be back , kirmond ? Mcb ?

So assuming the above is correct - Pauli kirmo in for ash and batch , if fit tupo and mcb in for sau and Croft , if not then Croft /kershaw

But given the poor confidence do we need to make other changes ? Personally would give annikin a run in stead of England /hirst

Looks like another boggy wet windy day

Annakin is on loan, not sure if he can be recalled. Could look something like

Rocky
MCB/Kershaw
Tupou/Croft
Lyne
BJB
Milky
Brough
Fifita
Randell
England
Kirmo
Kelepi
Crowther

Wood
Hirst
Pauli
King

Doesn't look too bad a team. Would look a fair bit weaker if Big Dave/Bill aren't fit.

I think Kershaw's style will lend itself well to heavy ground.
I'm happy with Croft but either MCB or Tupou would be a good addition to the team. Both are game breakers.

We have the potential to have 3 strike players back for Salford in Fifita, Tupou and Pauli. Strike is definitley somerhing we have lacked over the past few weeks! Add Kelepi to that 3 and i think we look a lot more dangerous in attack. Fingers crossed they all play because im starting to look at the teams below us rather than above us at the moment....

Our form + Salford’s form + our record at the AJ =

Going by this i'm not sure tupou will be back this week.

It's a 4 pointer this weekend with Salford being right below us.

I feel a real hammering coming this week and I mean by a good 40 points. Hastings and Lui if fit will have a field day...

Hampshire
Kershaw
Mcb
Lynne
Bishop
Miller
Brough
England
Randell
Hirst
Ashurst (Kirmond if not)
Kalepi
Crowther

King
Fifita
Wood
Pauli

God help us if thats our team

So who exactly are you saying isn't up to scratch in that team?
And who are you replacing them with?

IMO based on current form Hampshire, England, Randell, Hirst, Kirmond, Crowther and Pauli aren't up to scratch.

What do you mean replace? From other clubs or do you mean our own players.

For the Salford game.....

If none of the players that you mention aren't up to scratch, should we concede now ?

No doubt this will be a tough game.
We are in a hole, no doubt about it and with Fifita still likely to be missing our pack will be under pressure.
Let's hope that Pauli comes back leaner, fitter and wanting to lead the pack as we are seriously lacking some grunt in the forwards.
Hopefully he will have spotted some weaknesses in the Salford defence as well



Cant see us winning this one, especially over there 28 - 16 to Salford but hope i'm wrong

I'm presuming you mean from any club then?

Hampshire - I'd swap forNSW Fullback James Tadesco

England - Luke Thompson from Sains

Randell - Nathan Peats from the Titans

Hirst - Sitaleki Akauola from Warrington

Kirmond - Ben Murdoch Masila from Warrington

Crowther - Boyd Cordner from the Roosters

Pauli - Jake Trbojevic from Manly

Obviously not, we should still try and please note I also wrote "on current form", Form can change day to day, we could see the NRL Pauli back as of the weekend. You never know!

Lol. I think it was quite obvious what PT meant.

If we were to not play players based on a drop in form then we would probably be able to field around 4/5 players.

I thought he meant from our squad but wasn't too sure so went with my gut instinct.

You knew what he meant.

Silly initial post just getting sillier.

Hampshire - Max Jowitt
Hirst- Yusuf Aydin
Randell - Ben Reynolds
Crowther -Titus Gwaze

Due to injuries I'd be left with no option other than to leave the next three in

England
Kirmond
Pauli

Hampshire not up to scratch! you remind me of trinity18 what used to post on here, he used to say controversial things as well

Trinity18 is me lad, not that I say things to be controversial. It's purely my opinion.

Well I'd never have guessed that lad



Nothing else to say really if in your opinion Hampshire's not up to it.

Max has a fractured hand.
