Johnson was a handful against us, in the Championship. He, along with his Batley fullback, Miles Greenwood, and fellow wing Jonny Campbell, ran the ball back out of defence very hard and fast. I hope he and Jason Walton both make it in SL.

Didn't we used to have Miles in our squad/team, or is my memory playing silly buggers again?

We did he went Fax then Batley etc

No Hock according to League Weekly.

He's worried in case Sam Barlow eats him

Seems Bob Beswick will miss the game and as Penky too is not available I hope Govin is fit to play.

Ryan Brierley may be missing , as he has apparently broke his nose , in the Wigan game .

probably see a quick call up for the young lad we got from saints who played very well for the u20's last week Lewis Foster.

He wants to be in the stands watching the club he supports first game under the Red Devilution

Didn't Ryan go back ont field after his injury though Ian?

When you've got the likes of Steve Maden in the team, I don't think he had much choice!

I remember playing for the Colts against Hunslet and getting my nose broken. Stan Walls stuffed strips of bandage up both nostrels with a pen and put a plaster accross the split bridge. "Right, back on you go son". Two cracking shiners came up that night. Will be in attendance on Friday with our Ol and Craig ( Salford fan ) and the obligatory flask of hot Vimto.

Hope Ryan makes it

Im not sure when it happened Tony , some don't let a broken nose nose bother them Frank has had one for nearly 50 years . .
