1. Kearney
2. Purtell - Never a centre in a million years, think the ball was glued to his hands yesterday.
3. Karl Pryce - if fit
4. Lulia - if fit
5. Kear
6. Sammut - He looked dangerous everytime he got ball and defended pretty well too
7. Gale
8. Kopczak
9. Diskin
10. Scruton - Did sweet FA against Catalans, but i'd like to give him a run in the team as he may take sometime getting back into the swing of things before last seasons injuries. Before last seaosn he was on of our best props.
11. Whitehead
12. Walker
13. Donaldson

14. L'estrange
15. Burgess - Needs to get fitter
16. Joseph

Think a few first teamers need a reality check and need to realise they need to earn a spot in the team.
I hope to god Potter gives a run of games for Sammut & Gale to gel. Hopefully they could become a decent partnership. Unlike last year when he chopped and change our half backs everyweek.

Eh? He was one of our stand out players, defended really well, and put his winger in for a try. His offload in the centre of the field is also what led to Langley's try. What more do you want ffs?

From what I have read and seen of the tries you conceded, you're going to have to improve the defence at marker quite considerabely. With Milner and Clark playing at hooker this year, we have speed, sharpness and brains at the play-the-ball that give us momentum going forwards, allowing Chase the room to do his stuff and get the backs (particularly Owen from deep) into the line whilst the defence is still trying to get organised. It seems that Millward is also playing both Milner and Clark together during the last 20, when defences are tired, for that forward momentum near the end.
Stop Milner and Clark from dummy-half and you restrict the space that Chase has to work with, nullifying most our our attacking threat. Simple (on paper).

If the Cas forwards get on top, then that is exactly what will happen. However, I think even you can agree that your pack isn't anywhere near as big and aggressive as Catalans. It will still be a tough test, but I would consider the game against Cas to be a more evenly matched affair than last week was.

I don't think many packs are as big and aggressive as Catalans.
However what Millward has obviously worked on is the speed of the player getting up and playing the ball, thus giving Clark and Milner the opportunity to run at the markers who are still trying to get square.
The unusual thing is that it's not the size and aggressiveness of our props that are providing our go-forward, it's the speed of our hookers. Our forwards seem to have been told to accept the tackle quickly to get this momentum, and it's a clever tactic in my opinion.

This is exactly what he coached at St Helens and it causes absolute havoc. If you're not chasing shadows, you're giving away penalties. It's one of the reasons why grapple tackles and wrestling have entered the game. Could well be a penalty-fest on Sunday.

It's ok though, we are 30% fitter, so will be back well in time to stop any quick ptb.

That could be worth the entrance fee alone.

Some interestings stats in relation to this game. Cas made the most metres of all teams at the weekend whereas we made the least. However, Cas' 2 wingers and fullback made over 600 of their 1500 metres which would suggest Salford kicked it down their throat all night.

Milner/Clark made 133m whereas Diskin/L'Estrange made 135m.

Cas were playing Salford. - bottom 4 side.

We were playing Catalans - possible Grand Final contenders. And top 4 in league.

Massive difference. Plus Diskin/Stranger made more metres against a top 4 team than Milner/Clark did against bottom 4.

i would go with bk, ainy,purtell, lulia if fit walker if not, kear, sammut,gale, koppy, disco, joseph, whitehead, donno,langley, on bench would be scruton,heath, burgess and walker/pryce dependant on availability.

Is Whitehead definitely available?
