Tough decisions for a tough game. Salford will be confident after beating Widnes and will be doing their best to get out of the bottom 4 to prove that the points deduction made no difference. They'll be wanting revenge for the defeat at our place. It's important to us because it's 2 very winnable points towards making sure of a top 8 spot. Must go with our best team - but not easy to pick it! It's a good position to be in.

Salford may get some or all of their deducted points back yet, so that to my mind makes this a doubly important game to win

Anyone got the feeling Bill Tupou will eventually move into the second row ala Vince Mellars?

This a really tricky fixture for us
Although it looks, on paper, like one of our easier fixtures, Salford have only one victory less than Trinity and without their points deduction, they would be in 8th spot.
Of course, having beaten Catalan and Warrington, we are more than capable of beating Salford but, this could be a classic.
Expect a close game 6 points either way ?

(the bookies are giving us 2 points on the handicap)

It's a tough game to predict. See a good slog in the middle plenty of grunt required in my view to pull it off.

I can see what you mean, and I'm sure he'd be good but I quite like him in the backs.
Some teams have real monsters in their back line and we could do with keeping some beef back there too.

Craig Hall (picked up injuries last two weeks)
Reece Lyne (just coming back from injury, no point risking him)
Plus we need to go big against Salford.

That looks a strong and the preferred line up for me.

Looks to me like Johnstone may miss this week, so possibly Reece Lyne to come in for him?

A.Toupou hasn't hit the heights expected in my opinion needs to lift to get us the 2 games we require

He's been pretty good, and considering he's been playing with a mouthful of stitches I'd say he's done us proud.

Cas losing gives us a big opportunity in this game. We could be 3 points clear of 7th and only points difference from 5th.
