| Fez I'm not so sure that you are in the minority on here as I'm in the half way house camp with CW8, a bit of a rerun of the team selection perhaps with different criteria of who's in/out when we had 8-9 out but played through due to Covid
I'm still looking forward to the game and hope that it's competitive and we can get some positive from it beyond a write off result and a rest well earned though it is for many.
The question it really raises is who do we consider is still in the running for top 4 given as others have said there's no advantage being 1st or 4th

| I reckon we will approach it like the Kangaroos used to on their tours. Have our first choice teams for the weekend games with a "mid-week" team for this Salford game, the Leeds game on the Wednesday before Wembley and Huddersfield game on a Sunday after playing Friday night and before Saints the following Friday.
That way our "weekend" team plays once a week from now to the end of the season.

It's looking like 4 from Wire, Saints, Wigan, Leeds and Catalan. Saints no longer have the cup to contend with so I would expect them to make it easily. We have to play all of the other 4 contenders, so it's very much in our hands.

| Looks like Wigan are adopting the same approach as us judging by their squad.

And we took two points against Catalans (who are a threat to our top 4 aspirations) with a very strong team. The Salford game isn't a four pointer (or what the equivalent phrase is now it's on percentages), hence we have the shadow squad named and we'll revert back to a very strong squad in the semi final. The strength of the squad in my opinion fits the importance of winning that particular fixture.

| It looks like Price is looking beyond the semi final. If we manage to overturn salford (and that is far from a given) then it's Wigan, Leeds then Wigan or Leeds in the final and then Catalan again.
Like people have pointed out, better taking points off Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Catalan if we can. Pundits always point out that it is the game after the Easter weekend fixtures when the fatigue Set's in so in this case that would be equivalent to the Wigan game.

| There will be the equivalent of back to back "Easter weekends" with midweek and weekend games to come
. You cannot play your strongest team game to game in these circumstances, without major fatigue issues setting in.

| I'm looking forward to this match, get to see the kids show what they can do,i'm surprised they are playing Lolohea, Yates, mossop and Ikahihifo, They won't be fresh for the Semi and they are some of their main components so that could play well for us

This suggests Patton will captain the side and Ratchford will not feature, despite being in the 21 man squad. If Ratchford is not playing I'm assuming Davis, Clark and BMM will not play either.
So does this suggest
Ashton
Thewlis
Brand
Roebuck
Oakley
Dean
Patton
Sita
Walker
Latu
Robson
Longstaff
Johnson
Shelford
Wrench
Doro
Kibula
I have a question mark as to whether Ashton will play, but with a fully fit Ratchford, Auston and Widdop, I still don't think he makes Price's first team.

| Obviously the underhand 'tactic' would be for one of the fringe players from our team to subsequently test 'positive' for C-19, and Salford then having to have players "self isolating" on Saturday.....
Stranger things have happened in sport
