Ah ok, id imagine he'll go with Horne.

Miller & Heremaia

if heremaia doesnt start on the bench and rotate with houghton you can kiss goodbye any chance of winning this game

We'll lose and Miller will be on the naughty step.
And a ready made excuse lined up.
Suspensions and injuries.
I wonder how long before Radford gets a vote of confidence.

I'd go with this, maybe swap Whiting and Hadley as I do prefer Whiting off the bench as he can come straight on to cover an injury

Miller will be on the naughty step with some fans as soon as he makes a mistake of any kind, unfortunately

Seems to me like the vast majority want to see him play.

go with that and a wake up call for some players left out

Interesting quote from Radford in today's HDM.

“I’ve told the players I won’t drop anyone who performs well and performs to their ability. That I can guarantee.”

So ,does this mean Yeaman does not start tonight??

Well at least Salford now know who to run at seeing as Radford has revealed Miller is playing

Yeah, because Horne & Heremaia's defence has been sh*t hot this season. Hang on, one of those words might be superfluous.

Maybe we should have kept it a secret and had him playing in a mask so they didn't know it was Miller. You don't half talk some sh*t.

I think you should be putting Greg Johnson at the top of that list. Bit of an unknown quantity to our fans when we signed him but I think it's fair to say he's already a big fans favourite. Stature wise he isn't the biggest but he punches way above his weight, has a great turn of pace and takes a hell of a lot of stopping.

I also think Sa'u is still a good 4 weeks from peak fitness and Meli doesn't look 100% fit ATM. Once everyone is fully fit I think we'll have a pretty decent backline. Could go either way tonight and wouldn't expect either team to win by more than 8-10 points.

Out of interest what are the chances of getting our games at the KC played on a Sunday afternoon in future? Granted we don't take the biggest away following but I'm sure that would increase with a Sunday 3pm kick-off. This year we're playing all the Lancs team at home on Fri night and the Yorks teams on a Sun afternoon. Crowds are up massively (although the potential of a competitive team obviously helps).

Anyway, good luck for tonight and we'll hopefully see a good close game.

If we lose just blame Miller I know Radford will.

And they'll do that all game of course

Not sure that's the best analogy, given his background.

I am not a big miller fan, but i will support him whilst he plays, as i admire anyone that plays the hardest game in the world. we need to get behind them tonight.

But not so close that we're on their backs....

Very impressed with him so far from what i've seen on TV.

Found yourselves a decent player there.

If it gets a win its worth a go

Rumour I've heard no Arundel or Watts. So
Shaul
Colbon
Crooks
Yeaman
Talanoa
Horne
Miller
Feka
Houghton
Pitts
Whiting
Tuson
Westerman
Subs
Azza
Rankin
Thompson
Hadley

Injuries or dropped?

I'd be very surprised if Watts was dropped, not so much for Arundel, although I'd sooner they both started.

I personally think if either have been dropped it makes a mockery of Radford's comments last week.

Watts injured, Arundel dropped. Rankin was originally out of the 17th but Watts got a niggle
