So with Josh out with a lengthy spell and Tomkins also missing. What will be the line-up? There's not been much noise regarding injuries, so I've no idea who's crooked apart from Griff. Vidot was pencilled in last weeks squad, only to be withdrawn at last minute. Does that mean he's ready a week later?
O'Brien
Carney,
Sa'u,
Jones,
Evalds./Vidot
Lui.
Dobson.
Kopzcak.
Lee.
Griffin.
Masila.
Hauraki.
Flanagan
Subs.
Wilkinson
Lannon.
Walne.
Walne.

Heard Vidot has been on the contact pads this week so by all accounts he's ready to go.

Well if that's the case seeing as though we're down to one hooker, might we see GOB being spelled at Fullback and Hooker with Niall filling in at Fullback when Lee needs a breather?

I don't really think they want to disrupt 1, 6 and 7 combination which has been superb this year. If Vidot does play then we'll probably spell Evalds on the bench with Lee. If not i'd hope to see Wilkinson get a go

I'd go with that, think it maybe too big a game to blood Wilkinson?

I know we have to do it sometime, but maybe nearer the end of the season if it's looking like were not going to make the top 8.

Vidots a gamble not played a competitive game yet, but surely worth the gamble?

TBH Twist, it shouldn't disrupt the pivot combinations at all. The play when spreading the ball wide linking the three pivots just requires a small tweak at the PTB which they'll of already of practised many times in training unopposed. It's not that difficult tweaking PTB's and pivots.

And if the young kid Wilkinson is ready I'm sure Sheens will blood him if he thinks he's good and ready. We'll soon see.

5 coaches sold so we're taking a few with us. Just hope they don't contain the sort of nobs that were at Hudds.

We couldnt play Castleford at a better time. looking online they have alot of injuries.
Robson Shenton Holmes Roberts Mariano webster lynch. But yet again this is Salford were talking about. Looking forward to this game and hope we get a similar result as from the last time we played them.

So does nobody think Joseph might be playing at hooker then?

Pretty sure he's played there in the past before moving to prop.

Start with him with Wilkinson on the bench.

Good shout that. A bit of bulk up front too. Think he could do a good spell.

Cas have lost dorn, gale and moores also today

Millington also doubtful.

Millington at stand off, Mcshane at scrum half. 2 backs in the subs. Dobbo will have a field day.

Michael Dobson is having a mare. Far too expensive

Who talks nonsense?
