Not going to happen. Both teams already have to arrange games and why should fc be penalised, use your academy players! Plus your banned players who are ruled out on Friday would be free no doubt to play us later

No chance Hull will agree to this in a million years and I don't blame them. They're desperate for 2 points and this one is on a plate for them, even after their poor start.

Our situation is beyond a joke though and for me unprecedented in Super League. I understand after yesterday our injury and suspension list as follows;

Unbelievable. If I was Hull FC I would quite rightly reject, but it’s worth an ask I suppose. I genuinely don’t know what team we could possibly field for Friday but even so.

Injured; Ben Jones Bishop, Junior Sa’u, Josh Griffin, Michael Dobson, Tommy Lee, Adrian Morley, Liam Hood, Wayne Godwin, Adam Walne, Jordan Walne, Luke Menzies, Jay Walton and Kevin Locke.

And

Suspended; Rangi Chase, Weller Hauraki and Cory Paterson.

Think the R.F.L will say no, if you have 13 players you have got a team

I'm just trying to put our 17 together and have come up with the following.

1. Evalds
2. Johnson
3. MCB
4. Gildart
5. ???
6. ???
7. Fages
8. Tasi
9. ???
10. Taylor
11. Hansen
12. G.Griffin
13. Forster

14. Lannon
15. Gee
16. D.Griffin
17. Greenwood

Blood some of your Under 19's like any other club in the competition would have to.

If Hull agree to the request then they're a bunch of idiots!!

If the shoe was on the other foot I'd tell them to stick it! The game's on!!

3 of our players are missing through their own actions!!

can't see hull agreeing due to has we are having to sorting out wakefield away (due to Sheffield v fc in the cup)

Theres no chance of this happening i'm afraid. Looks like you'll have to play the kids. Your Injury list is ridiculous i agree, but i can't see them being soft, because suspensons haven't helped you out and you've only yourselves to blame for that.

On a side note, enjoyed my day out at Salford Yesterday. your team played with a great Siege, against the odds mentality and if you'd have took a point or won there would've been no complaints from me.

Definitely. It's unlikely the game would be abandoned either even if we just took 13 players over and experienced a load of injuries during the gameMatch Day Rule B2 one of the competing teams is reduced to four players due to injuries and/or dismissals.

That's still a distinct possibility.

The injuries aren't unprecedented. We had 12-13 missing a couple of years ago when London beat us at their place.

The suspensions are your own fault.

Embarrassing from Salford to request a postponement.

I think it is by 4 players rather than to four players to be honest. So if you ended up with 8 players on the pitch the game would be called off from there.

Embarrassing from Salford to ask for this. Nothing unprecedented about your injury 'crisis' at all. You should still have 13 first team players available and only need four from the academy system.

bad enough that this has been requested. Worse still that the club have done it so publicly. A private call to the RFL and Pearson at Hull could have made it clear if this was going to happen.

The need for some senior people at Salford to continually go public is tiresome. Supporters deserve better than this twaddle.

Well I wouldn’t be at all embarrassed if it was postponed, I would however be relieved. It’s certainly worth the question and just because others haven’t had the foresight to do so in the past, it’s tough luck.

For what it’s worth I don’t think it will be postponed and if I was Hull FC I would quite rightly decline the request. They’re in dire need of 2 points and this game is just what they need at the moment.
