Danny Wilson

Thanks Mike. Danny Wilson....rumoured to bea bit of a lad (Not like his son of course!)

That sounds like 27th November 1988 (League match) so that would obviously be from the 88/89 season. Leeds won 24 - 6 with Carl Gibson bagging a brace. I'll check it out tomorrow (later today) to see if one of those came via an intercept.

The Weaste?

Awesome pub. Full of Scouse Manure supporters in Salford, who'd have thunk it?

iv been following salford since early 90's and having to only beat you once since then it hasnt been good but i think the best game iv seen at the willows was in 2006 you won by a drop goal in the last minute, think it was 36-37 the final score but it was possible the best rugby game thriller for a long time there

I think I might be mixing up my game then. How many times did we play Salford in the preceding season?

I only ask because, as I mentioned, Salford was my first away game, but I also remember shouting abuse at Maurice Bamford as he left the dugout and getting told to F*** off for my troubles. That definitely wasn't my first visit, so I'm thinking there might have been a cup game in 1987-88.

We're 7th in the league & run the risk of not qualifying for the playoffs. I think the Salford game shouldn't be used to "rest" anyone and should be used as a game in which we try our damnedest to secure 2 league points.

I would have to agree, It's not 2009 and no one has really deserved a rest this year.

Are they rested? or do they actually have injuries / niggles that need rest?

that was my last visit too

The players omitted probably are genuinely injured/need a week off, my post was more in response to those suggesting we should use the game as an opportunity to try untested & (more than likely) unready academy lads or to experiment with players in unfamiliar positions.

Now is not the time for that, we desperately need the 2 points.

True dat.

It's only Salford.
