I like many are concerned about the backs but let’s hope our forwards really step up.
Farrell and Bateman is one of the best second row partnerships in the world.
Havard, Partington and Smithies should be improved after another preseaon
Hoping Bullock can take his game to another level.
Can’t wait.
Expecting a scrappy win

| Quote Salford red all over="Salford red all over"I know your only joking but it was moneybags Koukash that shelved the academy which by the way is being reintroduced at this skint club with Paul Rowley appointed to the first position of "Head of Rugby Development, Talent and Pathways".
Anyhow whilst there wern't many that came through the ranks we didn't do mediocre regarding local boys like Mozza Betts Watkins Mcavoy etc etc, but what was the point anyway when the likes of you and Leeds nicked them all.
 '"
It’s great to see that Salford are doing that and the club looks to be being built up and the squad looks excellent to me. It was a joke that it was shelved in the first place and I’m glad people have come to their senses. I’m glad they’ve also looked to do it at a time when the investment in the first team squad seems pretty extensive and not chosen one or the other.
It all adds to the fact that the first time I have hear the word ‘shoestring’ on Sky this year I will fall off my chair laughing. |

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"One thing I wouldn’t under play from that Friendly is that Salford have a very good side this year again and Leigh are certainly not in that class. Poor old skint Salford keep signing players and adding more and more depth to their squad (all whilst being poor and skint) and will have a very good season for my money. It’s very plausible we could get beat on Friday but I’d give Salford plenty of credit for that win and I actually think they may well turn Saints over in the first game.'"
I agree I think Salford are underrated. They will be very difficult to beat again this season if they can keep the majority of their troops fit and healthy. However, I don't share your optimism about them beating Saints but I hope that you are right. |

I think 99% of Salford fans will agree with you.  Saints are the one team we just can't beat away (Leeds & Wigan were the same until recently) no matter how well we play. Our record in the SL era against them is probably the worst of any team against any other SL team in that period! We've also been screwed a couple of times in the past few years by refs at the TWS and Saints look stronger than ever this season. Ok, so the game is at Headingley so not technically away but we're notoriously slow starters so a decent showing and making a game of it is all we're looking for. A win would be a massive bonus!
I know Wigan have players out but I'd be very surprised if Leigh beat you. On paper they'll struggle (not overly impressed with their signings but they couldn't exactly do much else tbh) so despite your injuries you should have too much for them. |

Apologies if this has already been covered/discussed but does anyone know why Wigan have allowed French and Hastings to remain in Aus for so long? Hastings landing only last week and French only jetting off today.
I thought they’d want all players to have a proper pre season.

Concerning French you are out of order as his mum was seriously ill,Concerning Hastings it might be down to his grandfather being ill but we know that he wants to leave so I'm not bothered about him |
