All I can say is, look how many of the Wigan team ended up trying Union, and some being lost forever in coaching.
Not good for the club if you ask me.

This

worzel will be over the moon , all his new and old buddies under 1 roof

Nope!! Not for me thanks!!

Meaningless game played at a crucial time of the season!!

Just like Ginge, I'll gladly donate to the charities in question but i will not be attending the game!!

I don't think Sale will, it will be a very useful preseason exercise for them to play against fitter, faster and more skilful players. It will benefit them.

nor do I think we'll put a second string out because the Dr won't want to lose.

its just a p*ss poor ideas, whichever way you look at it.

Not enthused by this at all. The only benefit I see is to the respective charities. I suppose it keeps the Red Devils in the National press too. Not sure what these games prove though. They'll win playing Union and we'll win playing League.

It doesn't bring us closer it just highlights the differences. Pointless exercise.

Plus it puts one half of the spectators at a disadvantage because they'll have to watch 40 mins of scrums, lineouts, and aerial ping pong.

Boring as anything.
Saints did this with Sale over 10 years ago and it was dreadful.
Dr K might want Sale to win it but they won't. Sale will have unlimited tackles (phases) and Salford limited to 6 tackles then handover the ball.
Sale 35 mins of ball in Union half, Salford 20 mins of ball in League half.
So Sale will have 55 mins of possession and Salford 25 mins.
Sale know what's going to happen as they've done it previously, People at Salford mustn't have a clue when agreeing to this.
If they want an equal contest then both teams must have unlimited tackles.
I think at Saints, they were nilled in the Union half and Sale were nilled in the League half.
Save your money for a Cup run or the play offs.
This is one to avoid!
Boring beyond belief!

I only see this as being of interest to each club's flakey/muppet type fans. Die hards will have none of it.

You may well be right. Spoke to a home and away Sale fan earlier in the evening. He thinks it's b*llocks, too. Bad idea.

I haven't got a problem with the concept, but I am curious about its timing, so close to the end of the SL season. My son has played both codes though, at the moment, prefers League.

If we play League under Union rules, it is still possible to win the Union half. The main thing is to avoid scrums and line outs as there is no chance of a League side winning either.

Don't write it off. Treat it as a fun day that's benefitting the charities.

Not interested , not going.

A much worthier game would be for MK to keep his promise and play Swinton. Salford would get the benefit of good PR and Swinton hopefully a much needed bob or two and after all a promise is a promise.
