I see a couple of posters who called the Tommy Lee at loose forward were correct in their predictions. Looks like Harris is looking to address our offense game by having another playmaker on the pitch? Lee could be a good foil for Smith and Chase in the same mould as O'Loughlin at Wigan.

Makes sense. Lee’s strongest asset is his defence and he’ll get through a shed load of work at loose whilst offering another source of attacking threat. I imagine he’ll operate similar to Jon Wilkin at Saints.

I’m looking forward to a team which includes Mullaney, Chase, Smith, Tomkins, Lee and Fages.

Spot on Early bath! Nearly full strength just Rapira & Griffin missing!

Lee is far more suited to 13 and it's good to see that Theo will reprise his role as interchange hooker. Pack looks strong. Just hope that our defense out wide has been addressed this week.

On paper we look like favourites tonight. The bookies have given Bratfurt an 8 point start too. Lets hope we can push on from a really good win in the Cup last week. Come on Salford!

This will be the strongest team Bradford have been able to field all season tonight. They've got four recognised props available and both their half-backs.

It will be tougher than it would have been a week or two ago, but we should be beating teams like Bradford if we want to be in the mix come the end of the season. Must win.

What's happening with Dominic Manfredi ? Not heard anything about hs injury.

He went back to Wigan after learning his injury would keep him out for the duration of his 4 week loan spell.

rlNo place for Fages in the 17rl

Sorry but that's a disgrace, Theo has been one of the few players who have achieved on a regular basis this season.

Harris is notorious for selecting his favorites and freezing others out. Expect Theo to get very little game time if his face doesn't fit with Iestyn.

Fages is a halfback, and he will I'm sure play many times for us in the future as a halfback or as I like to call the position, outside halfback (better than stand-off).

If Harris thinks that dropping/ leaving out Theo Fages is the way to endear himself to the majority of Salford fans,then he had better take a deep breath.
Theo has been a top performer over the last year,he has the heart of a lion,and has been loyal to the cause.
Theo deserves better and the new coach should have this pointed out to him.
Allez Theo!!

22-6 at half time to Salford
