Not sure whether its injury or form but Wild and Howarths omission makes sense.
McGoldrick less so.
He's a solid utility player and I think I've seen him play both full back and loose forward,but I'm not sure.
Must be injured but ,even if not, I don't have a problem with Hunte shaking it up a bit.
As I said straight after the London game,he needs to play an extra prop in the second row,maybe McPherson, and that will strengthen the pack.
I'd pick Theo and Foran in the halves.

cant drop sneyd surely?

Yes,I would.
He'd be unlucky but I think the other two will control the game better

Murphy
Jodie
Gibson
Gleeson
Evald
Sneyd( Or SH)
Foran ( Or SO)
Jewitt
Godwin
McPhearson
Ashurst
Dixon
Neal

Mauro
Griffin
Owen
Boyle/James???

but i think sneyd has a good long kicking game and attacks the line well

How would a young lad who has only played 1 SL match control a game better? Won't happen

Does anyone know if Wild is injured or rested?

Evalds full back, Murphy centre and Gibson wing could be an option? Takes a bit off pressure off Murphy who must brick it every time a kick comes towards him with our 'fans' ready to cheer ironically for every one he collects safely. Good to see Owen involved again. Not really done anything wrong yet is always the one to miss out.

Who will be captain? My money is on Godwin because I heard the Doctor likes him. Players have been very quiet on twitter this week.

haha murphy would be worse at centre possibly the hardest place to defend

If McGoldrick isn’t injured I find it strange that he would be overlooked to play the fullback position considering he has experience of playing there. Poor Murphy’s confidence must be shot after recent games. The kid needs sending back to Wigan to regain his confidence in an environment he’s accustomed to.

It could very well be psychological - he,as club captain,has been through a lot and will have respect,I imagine,for the recently sacked head coach.I don't think the best sports psychologist could lift the players for this game but as it's Salford,an unexpected turn of events is more than possible.

Owen being rested,and the reason for it,was explained by Paul Highton at the Forever reds meeting.I won't mention it on here as it may assist the opposition but someone will,I'm sure,pm the poster with the details.

With Fox,the Wakefield international winger,having difficulty dealing with kicks,Sneyd may just be the one to take advantage.

I hope the agent/manager who Phil Veivers thanked publicly in the MEN for helping him through the darkest times,Robinson,goes above and beyond for him at this time.
