Riley is at harlequins!! And evans Is injured!

we have more injuries than sts. We just don'e moan about it.

Id go with

1. Chris Bridge (to double up)
2. Rhys Williams
3. Matty Blythe
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Matt King (to double up)
6. Lee Briers
7. Richie Myler (to double up)
8. Aidrian Morley (to double up)
9. Michael Monaghan
10. Paul Wood
11. Simon Grix
12. David Solomona
13. Jon Clarke

14. Mike Cooper
15. Anderson (to double up)
16. Mickey Higham
17. Laithwaite/ (Mitchell/ McCarthy - if back from loan)

Why would you back Moz up but not Carvell? Thats just daft.

I think it's gonna be more or less the first team, only the skipper and Brett to get a breather, Joel & Harrison out through injury. Doubt Tyke or Mitch will be called back for one game, keep them on loan getting them more experience. Not gonna be a better chance to introduce one of the kids, give them a run out. It's only Salford



So ill go for same as 40-20 but Grix to be starting 13, Anderson starting 11, Clarke bench and swap Moz out for Gaz in.

Tony Smith said in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago that players would double up. There's no way he'll put 3-4 debutants in, he wouldn't do it against Swinton, so he certainly won't do it against Salford. I would expect minimal changes, maybe Hodgson and one of Morley/Carvell to be rested.

C.Bridge
M.King
M.Blythe
R.Atkins
R.Williams
L.Briers
R.Myler
G.Carvell
M.Monaghan
P.Wood
S.Grix
L.Anderson
D.Solamona

M.Cooper
M.Higham
J.Clarke
A.Morley (don't use unless nessesary)

think this be nearer the team that plays..

Funny how we all do not list Benny W (me included), even though he is the human duracel bunny.

I suppose that may be the problem - the fact that he seems to use up every bit of energy he has in every game must surely mean he is knackered for a few days after a match?

I remember speaking to Benny the day after we beat Wigan in the Semis in 2009. He said it takes him two days to get over a game and hes good to go again. I suppose this would depend on any injuries hes carrying and other niggles that he gets during the game. What a work horse.

He will probably flog himself half to death playing for England...... I think we all know how much effort he puts into every game.... I certainly wouldn't expect a player of his type to backup for us 2 days later.... Infact I wouldn't want him to.... The more rest he gets between now and the playoffs the better in my opinion.... He is probably our best player.
