your lads line up for mondays match

19 man squad will probably be posted tomorrow.

Salford squad: Broughton, Gibson, Gleeson, Gaskell, Foran, Ashurst, Dixon, Wild, Godwin, Mauro, James, D Williams, Fages, Sneyd, McGoldrick, McPherson, Griffin, A Walne, Emmitt.

Be interesting to see who misses out. Glad to have Shannon back, he is easily our best forward, just a shame he is so prone to injury. Anyone know when Jewitt is back? Griffin, McPherson, Jewitt then one of Walne, Emmitt or Mauro should see us competitive if anything. Bit disappointed we have not seen more of Evalds this season, if this is a right off of a campaign it would of done not harm getting the prospect battle hardened on the pitch.

Fearful about tomorrows attendance, could easily be our lowest in the SL era if not the lowest ever in SL, I believe PSG hold that honour although I may be wrong.

I think will line up something like this

1 mcgoldrick
2 broughton
3 Gibson
4 Gleeson
5 Williams
6 Gaskell
7 fages
8 Walne
9 foran
10 griffin
11 Dixon
12 ashurst
13 wild

Bench

Emmit
Godwin
James
McPherson

Sneyd will be in the 17 and play in his usual position.
Danny Williams will probably miss out,rather than Gibson

I reckon

1 gaskell
2 broughton
3 Gibson
4 Gleeson
5 Williams
6 mcgoldrick
7 sneyd
8 mcpherson
9 godwin
10 griffin
11 Dixon
12 ashurst
13 wild

Bench

emmit
foran
James
mauro

I doubt Gaskell will be full back.

I reckon tonight will be end to end tries galore, we need Fages, Snyed, Gaskell and McGoldrick all playing to create as much as possible.

Personally this is a game I'd have brought Evalds in for his broken field running.

I'd imagine it will be

Sneyd
JB
Gaskell
Gleeson
Gibson
McGoldrick
Fages
Walne
Foran
Griffin
Dixon
Ashurst
Wild

McPherson
Wagga
James
Emmit

Although I'd like to see Gibson at centre, Williams back on wing with Gaskell at 6 & Fages at 7. I'd leave McGoldrick out or on bench personally.

I'd agree with you there, Ledge. Think McGoldrick should be dropped. Doubt he will be though as I think Nobby sees him as the only one through the middle of the park with sufficient experience.

Gaskell is full back mate sneyd been dropped

Pretty disappointed if Sneyd has been dropped rather than rested.

If he isn't playing then again that would have been an even greater chance for Evalds to be given a crack, know I said it before but his pace and broken play running would have been ideal tonight.

Was told recently that McGoldrick is the clubs highest earner (maybe hints at the desperate straights we were in at the start of the season) so maybe Nobby I'd aware of this and sees him as a more vocal infield leader while Wild remains as Captain in all but name.

Hope that Shannon isn't being rushed back when all were playing for is pride, and I sometimes think when I see Walne running is we couldn't use ala Andy Coley in his prime running slightly wider as he has a bit more pace than your average 2nd rower.

Howcome Sneyd has been dropped? I'm quite disappointed about that. Wakefield have got Aiton and Smith back in the squad so it'll be a real test for us tonight.
With regards to McGoldrick being our highest earner - that's bonkers!

Sneyd is playing, Fages isnt !

Is that because he's been dropped or because he has gone to France because he has made the French World Cup squad? No issues at all with Theo being rested but I'd have done so against a team we have less likelyhood of beating. He is a very precocious talent that I'm sure will benefit from not being targeted each week as our playmaker and should he start a few WC games for France we'll see at the start of next season Theo mature into one if the best young scrum halves in SL.
