Don't think we should worry too much about Godinet, I think he will do OK. Our forwards should also be fine. Its 1 to 5 that worries me and that's where I think they will find plenty of holes in our defence.

Changed my mind, think this could pull off a surprise (to some) victory

Communication will be key on Sunday going to need a lot of shuffling but if the conditions are as it has been for the past few days I can't see the ball getting thrown out wide all the time it'll be a forwards battle for the majority of it. I hope that Godinet can calm down our 'panic rugby' performances and instead of trying to score every set trying to complete every set if unable to score. With McShane adding kicking from dummy half I think we'll go fine.

Pressure is on Salford not us, which IMHO can only help us.

I don't think any NRL players at half back would struggle to gel so much, don't forget that playing super league is a step down for them in reality.

The worry for Godinet is that he may end up being a sole half back (like Chase was for us) and that's a role he would struggle just getting into after 3/4 days training.

The onus will be on Sykes, and I think Chase and Smith will be completely dominant in the halves.

Just a case of getting the forwards outting you in the right places I guess

Three of us going. Think it's going to be a tough season but still looking forward to it

Let's be having you!

Wasn't sure I'd make it, but fortunately I'll be there with another three supporting the lads. Will be paying on the day and having a few drinks early on in Manchester

I'm still to be convinced that they will make a good partnership. They may well do but having seen Smith have his best games alongside a steady individual in Sykes, I remain sceptical for now.

6 here going

Er! just me on coach,i do have friends honestly

Really looking forward to it,weather forcast is good.

Pre coach beer in Gate

3 of us going, but 4 in the car, wife is off shopping in Trafford centre, so maybe a cheeky beer or 2 for me and maybe an extra 3 or 4 if we get a good result, then the wife can drive home and I'll have a well earned power snooze

Car of 4 going here - picked tickets up today.

I can't get my head around Salford - they've signed well, but they've got a right motley collection of headcases and a few crocks, so it's difficult to call.

I'd love to pee all over Dr Evil's chips, but I refuse to get too excited.

3 to 5 of us going. Thinking we'll take a few over. 800-1200?

Car of 4 here maybe more

660 tickets gone so far..
