Carter was interviewed earlier in the season and said we were probably circa £1.6m.

Kelly's hamstring is still troublesome, so add him to our list of no shows for Sunday's game too. We have misfired badly in attack all season, so you should p**s it at ours, even without Lui.

Gee Whiz no Kelly, Campese Cockayne, and Lunt.Thats your full spine near enough. Still a potential banana skin is your place though. I wouldn't get too confident, we must keep our feet firmly on the ground and keep concentrating on getting two points, Never take things for granted as Saints found out in round 2.

I think we've gone into every game so far this season as the "underdog", barring perhaps Widnes (I cant remember the handicap) it will be interesting to see how the players go about their business on Sunday when we go into it as the favourites.

Sorry Chico is that Carter quoting Salfords figures or is it Carter quoting Wakefields figures of £1.6m. ?

Cockayne took an early guilty plea so he should play on Sunday.

Some of us hoped for an upgrade ala boudebza.

He mentioned that figure, said he had spoke to Marwan around that time, and from that found Salford would be spending around the same figure, if not a smidge more. It was said somewhat informally in a pre-season interview. I can’t recall whether it was before or after Josh Jones arrived.

Ian Watson has named his 19 man squad to face Hull Kingston Rovers away on Sunday, 3pm.

Justin Carney Michael Dobson Niall Evalds Mark Flanagan Carl Forster George Griffin Josh Griffin Greg Johnson Josh Jones Phil Joseph Craig Kopczak Ryan Lannon Tommy Lee (C) Ben Murdoch Gareth O’Brien Matt Sarsfield Junior Sau Logan Tomkins Adam Walne.

The HULL KR 19-man squad in full is:

10 Mitch Allgood 11 Maurice Blair 19 John Boudebza 13 Chris Clarkson 18 Ben Cockayne 5 Kieran Dixon 16 James Green 20 James Greenwood 12 Graeme Horne 24 George Lawler 2 Josh Mantellato 22 Matty Marsh 28 Kieran Moran 26 Robbie Mulhern 23 Ryan Shaw 1 Ken Sio 4 Iain Thornley 17 Dane Tilse 8 Adam Walker

Going off the above squad it looks like EVALDS will be at No 1.

FB. Evalds
RW Carney
RC. Griffin
LC. Sa'u
LW. Johnson
SO O'Brien
SH. Dobson
OP. Kopczak
HK. Lee
BP. Griffin

SUBS

That's what I'd go with, apart from Joseph wouldn't even be in the 19.
