Thursday night.

Our home form vs Wire's away form

Danger man: Austin, ran us ragged in this fixture last season.

No Ma'u for us this week, hopefully Andre can get himself back out there. Would be nice to get Ratu back, too.

sort out the defence and we can win, scoring tries is not the problem, its our second half collapses

Surely even we cant lose at ho,e to wire?

if we go into the match with that attitude we will, wires will come good, on paper they have a cracking team, saying that I fancy a narrow win for us

With our home form and their away form something has to give.

As has been said, Naulago and Savelio have been missed and their returns would be a big boost. Hull have been very cagey recently about players injuries so we'll notreally know until they run out on Thursday night.

Warrington are still 3rd favourites for the LLS, we have drifted to joint 6th with Catalans.

And what has that got exactly to do with the game?

Or you just down playing our chances again if we get beat?

2 evenly matched teams on paper both with coaches under pressure from certain sections of fans.

Hoping for a cracking game and hopefully a win for us.
Ability isn't the issue but mindset is for us.

If we go 1 from 4 at home then surely Pearson will pull the trigger

Well, I couldn't see the odds for this game specifically so thought this was one available measure by whichto see how we were perceived by independent parties relative to this particular Big 4 club. There's no need to overanalyse this relevant context.

You really think that'll happen?
I don't but suppose it could all depend on the manner of the defeat.
A close but hard fought loss, probably not but another thumping at home then maybe.

3 losses in our first 4 home games would heap pressure on everyone at the club particularly after all the pre season hype. I think well win anyway so it's unlikely to be an issue

Could really do with Savelio back given that Ma'u is ruled out. Anyone know what the issue is?

Injured his mother knee

A real shame. Seems like, what, 5 injuries since he signed?

It does make you wonder (well, me) if that isn't why he left the NRL.

I really hope this has just been an unlucky run. Been very impressive when he has taken the field.

Lane will replace Mau and the rest of the squad will stay the same.Looking like Ratu and Savelio are more long term?

Don't get me wrong, the guy is a great player, we haven't even seen his best yet, as you say, hopefully just a run of bad luck.

The news (or kack of it) about fitness is strange, never heard a coach say they will only know when the physio says the player is available, no point speculating, I am sure there are reasons details are not forthcoming.

Warrington are currently on a 8 game losing streak away from home. They haven't won away since 6th July, and that was against London. They also lost the one before that against Rovers.

I'm sure Radford will be able to mastermind us doing what no side has managed in 8 months. Lose at home to Warrington. It will sit proudly alongside the club record home defeat we managed the last time this fixture came around.

Just read that Sao has been handed a 1 match ban for a 'Grade A strike in the 42nd minute'.
Anyone at the game remember the incident?

Ma'u failed his head test during the wakefield game

Sao out one game ban

Savelios knee tweak is more of a mystery than the loch ness monster

As is Ratu's injury

Hopefully Savelios back for this as a straight swap for Ma'u.

Ellis and Cator at loose forward.

Leaves us a prop short, for me id give Jack Brown a chance.

Taylor/Brown to start
Satae/Bowden off the bench.

Ratu injured his hamstring.This type of injury to a sprinter is 4/6 weeks.
Will be the same for Swift
Savelio unfortunately is just injury prone nothing to do with bad luck.
I agree give Brown a run or pull Bienek back from Leigh for the game as we are entitled to do under the agreement

What adam pearson says about the disciplinary is spot on. Cullen and his merry men seek to gain for the other end of the M62.For us yesterday grant should have sent partington and flower off,not even a sin bin,and all we get out of it is 2 long term injuries,and salford benefit when they get suspended.It stinks as do the commitee led by cullen.

The way Savellio was limping after the Derby win, I wouldn’t expect him back any time soon
