Quote: Cruncher "I've heard a rumour this morning that McCrae has been given leave of absence due to ill health, and that Malcolm Alker and Steve Simms will be in charge of the Salford team for Friday night.
Not sure whether that's good or bad from our perspective. If McCrae was getting things wrong, it might have a galvanising effect on his team now that he's not there.
We need to be on our guard against complacency. Salford could be really fired up for this one.'"
