For warrington the answer is a four letter word beginning with A. For Salford it seems there is a greater team spirit in the dressing room than there was after the Saints game.

That's what supporters of every team he goes to say - until it's not.

Having Hock play for your team is akin to being in an abusive relationship - he does nice things every now and again to keep you hooked, but he will absolutely positively, definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, hit you again. That's why he's not world class - he is deeply flawed.

Massive game for Salford this week.
Defending their good home form against Leeds.

Last one in to celebrate gets fined type of team spirit

I would fancy our chances if we weren't missing Chase, Hauraki, J.Griffin, Paterson, Lee and the Walne brothers.

I'll see your pre-game excuse and raise you a Ryan Hall, Tom Briscoe, Kylie Leuluai, Joel Moon, Brett Delaney & Josh Walters.

Owen won the Ballon d'Or in 2001.

Bitter much? Would be easier to just come out and say how much you hate Koukash/Salford instead of hiding behind cowardly digs. What's up, is the drum not getting much of an airing these past few weeks?

Thanks, you brightened my day with that peach!

TBF, I don't think he's getting the excuses in early he's just being realistic. Paterson and J Griffin have been outstanding so far this season and Hauraki is starting to come into his own. I think a full-strength, confident Salford would be able to put up a great showing win or lose. I, like many, thought this year would be one too many for Leeds' elder statesmen (yes I know you've got youngsters coming through but you've still got a large core of over 30's) but it seems we're being proved wrong.

We've been blown away too many times by Leeds in the past and I hope Sunday will be a hard-fought, close match. Having picked up 4 from 4 against Hudds and Wigan (which very few expected) I'd settle for a good performance and a close defeat as long as we don't pick up any more injuries and we manage to do a job on Leigh the following week.

Oh and really looking to seeing Peacock in his final visit to Salford. An absolute legend of the game and I hope he gets the send-off he deserves from our fans!

You have made my day by including T. Lee's absence as one of the reasons you may struggle.
There is a fist time for everything

When he was at Wakey, his absence was usually a plus point

It is often the game following the Easter period where you see the effects of the Friday/Monday fixtures with a few funny scorelines. It seems both teams will be missing a few players. I just fear that Salford's missing personnel are in more key positions however hopefully we can still put up a decent showing.

Perfect description
