| Moving away from the off field stuff, I don't buy that Salford will rest up Thursday now they've guaranteed a playoff spot, surely they will hope to secure a home qualifier in fourth position (rather than rely on Leigh beating Saints).
Will need to be as good as we were against Leeds but for longer periods if they pick a strong lineup.

Who’s said Salford will rest up? That would be madness.

| Salford will be well up for the game in the hope of getting a home play off tie. They might not be quite as desperate as they would've been had they needed a win to secure a spot in the play offs at all but they'll be far from pushovers.
I'm glad in a way that we need the win for the shield. It should lead to a far better atmosphere in the ground (although granted probably not as good as Friday would've been).

Saw quite a few posts on Twitter for them to win last night and rest up ready for the playoffs.

| HKR will have already named their squad by Thursday, so there wont be that much scope for them to play their reserves if we win.

Even if we beat Salford Hull KR will likely still need to win on Friday to keep hold of 2nd place.

I think we (salford) will be resting players, I really doubt sneyd will play for a start as this new rule came in this year a player has to play amount of minutes, says in this article
https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/salford- ... les-93764/
With us not having a massive squad and very little time to rest this week I think rowley will rest half the squad. I be very suprise if you see lafai, Mcdonald, sneyd singleton & wright in the 13 on Thursday

That rule was not introduced, Sneyd is free to play. The question is would you rather play at home or away in the playoffs? A win at Wigan guarantees a home tie whereas you are relying on Leigh beating Saints to guarantee home advantage if you lose at Wigan. It is an interesting conundrum.

They’ve opted to go for more viewers.

Rowley has spoken about that rule a couple of times in the press so I imagined it would be. If that's the cases great. I just think with the short turn around this week and play off in mind he will rest a few.

| Presumably the option has been there to play games on a Thursday night all through the summer and yet Sky viewers have had to choose between multiple games at the same time. Ridiculous.

I heard him discussing it once on the Bench podcast and talking about how players could be forced to miss Grand Finals, Semi Finals etc, which seemed to highlight that he hasn't paid much attention to it. It doesn't come in to play until next season and the clubs have already been informed that players won't be forced to sit out big games. If Salford made a grand final and it would take a player over their minutes, they'd be allowed to play and would then have their minutes allowance reduced the following season. I presume if clubs just willingly continued to ignore it, there would be some form of punishment but it isn't an issue currently.
As for Thursday, I just can't see Salford resting players. Surely they want a home play off tie and not to have to travel away to St Helens or Leigh, As bad as Saints have been recently, I can't see anyone beating them in a play off game at their place but it could be a different story if they have to travel away.
