Guess we will have the same squad with king replacing cain southernwood, not sure that I would make many changes after last week

although personally would put murphy to full back, with morton and blanch on wings - not that blaymire has done much wrong but murphy was playing well enough to keep him out.

5 props then?

if blanch is fit Jk will probably try to swap him for Morton like he tried to do against KR. Id have king in the 18 man squad but dont see how he can replace Gledhill after his great debut!

Does anyone know if Brough will play if his move isn't completed?

Dunno, it's a really tough one that - play him and risk that he might not care whether we win or lose, and hence put in a shocking performance.

Or, miss him out and play Southernwood with Obst at halves, and Davey and Latu rotating at hooker.

Very tough - there might be a bit too much youth in those pivotal positions if we go for the 2nd option. But I guess at some point we have to put trust in them, so now might be that time.

I fully expect Brough to play if he has not signed for the midgets, or unless the two clubs have come to an arrangement where he does not play for whatever reason. Brough does not strike me as a person that doesnt care, he wants to be a winner all the time, and not only that he will want to show the Wakey fans what they will be missing imo.

other option if he isn't selected due to an arrangement is give him a stool at the bar

nar he can put the shudds money in that

Or another issue is risk of injury. Let's say, for example, we were due to get a decent player and a wedge of cash on Monday. Broughy picks up a long term injury on Sunday and the deal is gone. We still lose Brough but also a wedge of cash and another player.

I wouldn't play him. Too much of a gamble, and without any disrespect to Salford, if you are going to learn to play without him, what better fixture than Salford at home?

i concur

Unless he picked up a knock he'll be playing

look out for cook when the squad is announced - straight swap for jeffries

that will be cooke then
