Peltier still had some strapping on his hand on Sunday, didn't look thick enough to be a cast though.
Basically it all comes down to props for us. If we have enough, then we will get results like Toulouse & Swinton & Batley.
If we're short of props, then we'll have results like Rochdale & Oldham.
Our back line is fine, matches any in this division.

Agreed. Need to get in 2 or 3 that have been playing at least C1 five years or so, unless of course we can pluck out another few Murray and Oledski's.

Let's be right. Fax ARE a top 4 side - the table says so, I believe.

I think it's fair to say the table doesn't tell the entire truth with our position as, with no deduction, we'd be just below you on scoring difference, so I suppose we've had similar seasons, results wise. We are very reliant on the loanees though, as we have an unbalanced team with too many very young players, and it seems we won't have too many of the loan players over Easter, so we'll have an even younger age profile than normal, though I suspect we won't be alone in that.

I think Fax are favourites for this game, chiefly because we're light in the pack and your lot are always up for this game. If Fax are a bit 'wayward' though, we certainly have the backs to punish the errors. If I were a betting man, which I'm not, then my money would be on a Halifax win.

Well the bookies can't separate us. If i were Fax i would play it simple with 5 drives and a kick and i think they'll get the win. But as Bulliac says if they start making errors we certainly have the backs to hurt them.

We could do with the rain holding off for the Fax game given our forward predicament.

Imho if we come out of the weekend with any points that's a big success...

It's much more fun when you don't expect anything and are pleasantly surprised.

Instead of the last two years when all you got was dissappointment.

Can't say I'm expecting anything from this weekend.

As much as I'd like to see Chisholm back this week I'm really hoping that 19th spot is for Murray. We have enough with pryce and Keyes to get us through Friday without Dane (if and big if he is signing) I'd like to think it was a case of Salford assessing their options. That front row we have in our named squad is very very inexperienced and for me not enough to get on top of fax's front row. Not a slight on the guys in question just as they could grow to be quality front towers just not enough experience for me. No issue whatsoever in the back line

The magic ZERO will come into the equation at some point this weekend.

I just hope its not zero points from two losses; or zero points scored in one of our games.

Murray recalled, that's a big blow he's been immense

Gutted, too light in the forwards is an understatement

Fingers crossed we get him back after Easter

Can get Halifax at 11/10 so there's a bit of value there as I would expect Halifax to win this game slightly more than 48% of the time.

You can get Fax at 6/4 with Bet365 and others. Bulls odds-on between 8/15 - 8/13 for reasons that escape me.

Bookies must think it's 2003.
