Very tough game. Will do well to win it.

Perhaps we should cut out the half time team talk for Salford

If Albert, Peteru and Ava Longname are all in the side it would be our first decent prop rotation all season, at least in terms of size. We could even start to see our front row move from a weakness to a relative strength.

Myler could be doubtful too. He looked to be really struggling after the game. Said he thought he was ok but he was in agony trying to make it up the steps to the Long Bar with a knee injury.

Myler`s been struggling for 2 years.

We (Salford) don't win at home.

You'll be reet.

If Watkins, Dwyer, Walker, Myler and Mclelland aren't fit enough for Friday. I'd go for

Golding
T.Briscoe
A.Sutcliffe
Newman
Handley
Sutcliffe
Lolohea
Peteru
Parcell
Singleton
Smith
Trout
Merrin

Subs

Cuthbertson
Oldezki
Albert
Seamanufagai ( if he's not here Donaldson in)

Donaldson deserves to keep his place imo. I thought he was great in defence at times in the second half when HKR were coming at us. He was leading the line and tackles above his weight.

Seconded, he tackles well above his weight and makes good ground going forward, he has actually been a shrewd signing for a squad filler.

Also anyone though Parcell had his best game for a couple of seasons, MOM for me.

Harvey Spence maybe gets a game, not hyped like Mclelland but looks as good if not better in games I have seen, Mclelland still not a standout so far, appart from reputation I have not seen him do enough to justify everyone wanting him to be thrown into first team yet.

Shows how much damage union can do to a league players game.

Ava apparently on his way so will probably be thrown straight in on the bench I would guess. Wouldn't expect too much considering his lack of game time and the fact he'll have only been in the country been in the country for 3 days prior to the game.

Briscoe
Watkins
Hurrell
Handley
Lolohea
Myler
Singleton
Parcell
Cuthbertson
Merrin
Sutcliffe
Peteru
Oledzki
Jones-Buchanan
Smith
Donaldson
Newman
Trout
Albert

Like like we will go with:

Tui
Briscoe
Watkins
Hurrell / Newman
Handley
Sutcliffe
Myler
Peteru
Parcell
Oledzki
Smith
Donaldson
Merrin

Cuthbertson
Singleton / Albert
JJB
Trout

Hopefully Hurrell is fit but if he's not 100% ready to come back we shouldn't risk him at all. Think we'll go for

Lolohea
Briscoe
Newman
Hurrell
Handley
Sutcliffe
Myler
Peteru
Parcell
Oldezki
Smith
Donaldson
Merrin

Subs

Watkins
Cuthbertson
Trout
Albert

Watkins picked up a knock last week and hasn't looked right since coming back from last weeks injury so if Hurrell is fit then Watkins should be used in second row imo to for a 20-30 minute spell to allow him to ease back into things. If Hurrell isn't fit he'll have to keep getting used at centre and Singleton comes in on the bench.
