What would everyones first choice 17 be for Salford on Saturday?

1. Owen
2. Dixon
3. Arundel
4. Grehan (might be a bit early but he can't be worse than Griffin)
5. Youngquest (if he's fit)
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Emmitt
9. Milner
10. Jackson
11. Ferres
12. Mitchell

14. Clark
15. Walker
16. Thompson
17. Nash (Millington if he's fit)

youngquest jackson & millington wont be fit, be surprised if walker gets put in too

Worse than Griffin? Have you been to any of the friendlies or do you just walk around with your eyes closed?

1. Owen
2. Dixon
3. Grehan
4. Griffin
5. Clare
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Emmitt
9. Hudson
10. Massey
11. Ferres
12. Mitchell
13. Jones

14. Clark
15. McGoldrick
16. Walker
17. Jackson/Holmes/Nash

Jackson cant be far away from coming back he nearly played last week so shudnt be out for too long. What injury has Youngquest got?

Achilles. Will be out for a few weeks yet.

Walker played today so a spell from the bench shouldn't be too bad for him next week.

Millington hoping to be back for Round 3/4.

Huby out until late March/April.

Jackson may be back next week.

McGoldrick is banned isn't he?

Also, no Arundel?

I don't rate Arundel. I don't think he's big enough and I think he's weak defensively.

Why would McGoldrick be banned?

How very dare you use fact to prove Fully wrong.

Also arundel played in his first full SL season last year and got a knights place
But what do they know about rugby?

How very dare you use facts to prove Fully wrong.

McGoldrick can use a friendly against his suspension.

Ergo, Hull KR and today's friendly count - suspension over.

He played his first full SL season but that doesn't necessarily counter his size. Granted he got a Knight's place but tackling defensively he was shocking. I will use the Catalans away game as a prime example. Maybe I'm just comparing him to Shenton who was the opposite: excellent defensively but not a good attacking player.

you mention Arundel being shocking in defence yet want McGoldrick to play

This is a team of what we have / what I think Millward will go with. He seems to have taken the king of Cas under his wing so I cant see him not making the 17.

1) Owen
2) Dixon
3) Arundel
4) McGoldrick
5) Griffin
6) Chase
7) Orr
Emmitt
9) Milner
10) Massey
11) Mitchell
12) Ferres
13) Hudson


14) Clark
15) Jones
16) Holmes
17) Nash

I cant see Jackson, Walker, Grehan being "ready" for next saturday.
