On paper another very winnable fixture, hopefully we'll keep the momentum going towards Good Friday.

Flower and Partington will be banned so I’d go-

Manfredi Hardaker Hankinson Marshall
Smith Hastings

Isa Farrell Smithies

Subs
G Burgess Clark Havard Leuluai.

Doubt it will be that but I’d like to see that side named.

Yes, just seen the Partington news, could be sat down for a while with a "D" charge.

I’m with you but Bibby will play (he needs to start showing something imo) and TL will start. Also, will Clubb be fit? If so, he’s a shoo in. Sadly.

Is a grade D 3-5,if it is you would expect him to get the lower end as i can't remember him being in trouble previously

With it being referred and not dealt with today you can only assume it's at the upper end of the scale, can't see him being available until sometime in April, let's hope it teaches him a valuable lesson.

This for me.

Bibby had a shocker and hasn’t show much, give Hank a go.

Team goes better with Smith in the halves.

Shame for Oli P but that’s a massive set of front rowers we have, Burgess, Bullock Bryne Havard all 6ft 4 and Clark is hardly small.

Went to match must have missed that what did he do.

Cannonball tackle

Bullock and Clark have to replace Flower and Partington which I think will help people front row with some size and punch in attack. I’d start Bryne and Bullock with Clark Burgess and Havard off the bench. I’d swap Smith with Tommy as well and have Tommy on the bench if Powell needs a rest

Agree, also Hanks replacing Bibby.

Yeah I’d forgot about Hankinson but he definitely needs up come back in. Bibby has looked very average so far this season and I feel he’s only getting a spot due to his connection to Jacko. Hankinson never had a bad game for Wigan so far and looked very good against Huddersfield

I thought Bibby had done ok up until yesterday but he had an absolute nightmare defensively and maybe I’m wrong but his work rate with the ball seemed pretty average as well. It’s one hell of a step up for the lad. He’s signed for his hometown club, who he supported as a kid and it must be daunting. He’s obviously had a tough week or two personally as well and he may be better served just building some form in the reserves.

It’s easy to forget we’ve probably signed him on a nominal wage because at the time he was playing as a back up winger for Salford. He like the rest of the Salford team were flying at the back end of last season but he wouldn’t be on his own out of that group of players in now struggling a bit.

The problem i have with these types of tackles isn't the actual tackles themselves(although i don't like them),its opposition coaches like Smith coming out and commenting on flower's tackle before the disciplinary has even convened
