Dobson was rumoured to have a shoulder injury too

Yes been quiet on the Dobson injury but i hear it's a dislocated shoulder so we'll be missing Locke, Paterson & Dobson 100%

No Hock, Locke, Paterson, Dobson or Ben Jones-Bishop (I think).

He's had that for years. It came after carrying Rovers for so long.

So there's no Locke or Hock, what about the 2 smoking barrels?



I'm sorry, I'll close the door on my way out.

locke, hock and 2 smokin' farrells

Cant see anything other than an fc win

Didn't know Scott Taylor and Adrian Morley smoked. Sorry, that's even worse.

Big game for us. We need to win one of the next 2 IMO and leeds with 2 more days turnaround than us will be a big ask

To do anything this year, all teams need to win 50% of there games...so were bang on course

We are quite capable of winning our next 2 games. We just need to make sure our defense stays like it has been but a tad bit stronger and our attack to be better and it's an easy 2 wins IMO.

Sounds so easy...better defence and better attack and we win.

It's only as easy as we make it.

Seems like weve focused all our intentions on our D this year, and for me, thats were our strength lies on current form anyways

No idea on injuries but totally guessing that Shaul, Ellis, Sa, Watts given another week:
Rankin
Talanoa
Yeaman
Michaels
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Bowden
Mini
Hadley
Westerman

Thompson
Feka
Whiting
Green

Comfortable win for your lads on Saturday, no danger.

Yeah right, I've heard that one before.

I think people are forgetting the fact that Tim Sheens will be there watching this game in teh start of his 'consultancy' role he'll have with Salford which will probably mean lots of players will lift there games. Its gonna be a tough one imo

You've started well and are looking good, we have a few injuries to contend with as well as our poor start.

I don't think Sheens will make much difference on his first day...there's a few dark clouds hanging over the place and it isn't just the usual rain clouds. Can see you running riot tbh

I'd guess that Whiting will play right centre and I think Cunningham will be used off the bench again.

Looking for a seat for Saturday

Only Ellis and Shaul are doubtful
I think Feka will come in for Bowden
Michaels will have to wait.Not a Yeaman fan but he has done little wrong in the first 2 games.Would like to see Michaels though at left centre as we do lack pace there.

Not sure Micheals has the size to play there, I'd bring in Feka for this game as he offers a bit more in attack compared to our other forwards.

Like others have said, depends on how Salford react to the Saints defeat and things that have gone on this week, but they still have some decent players like Chase, Hansen etc, so will be a threat. We have gone there and faced worst teams and got beat, so not taking this result for granted, but will be disapointted if we lose this one, if we play like we did the first two games and smarten up our attack, I think we will get the 2 points.

Same height as Yeaman and over 14 stone
Can time and pass a ball much better than Yeaman can jump for the high ball which is another of Yeamos negatives and of course has the pace we are looking for.

Don't think its the 13 thats difficult but the bench is, if Radders picks an interchange hooker then I would expect him to go with 2 props and a second row. If he expects Danny to do 80 minutes then I expect 2 props a second row and a utility
