Team for Salford

Quote: Mick Amos 9 WTW "Big week for Rich. Picking a team from a not ideal pre season. Game called off and imports arriving the week before the first game. He will no doubt be looking at a few things with the imports. A What shape they are in. B Can they adapt to the patterns of play/moves in offence in this first week. C Is it worth sticking them into a fierce first game if not fully fit for injuries etc.

For me we certainly need another pivot playing so hopefully Godinet is ready. Think this is the most important. We need big strong props so secondly I'd like Anderson to play but we do have cover. Matt Ryan is the position we least need to rush, that is if he does play second row. Although I'm looking forward to seeing Matt rip it up we do have Kirmond, Ali, Annakin, Tauti who can fill that position.

I'm sure Rich will be watching whose putting it in, in training as well as matches. Something we don't see. As its a big opening game with the spotlight certainly on Koukash merry men, does Rich go for experience who have handled big games or give others who haven't played first team as much like some of the youngsters.

I couldn't pick a team because I have only watched Fev game as I was away for Hunslet. However from last season and Fev I would like Annakin to force a regular spot. Would also like to see Wildie back himself from dummy half a lot more, making yards like Roby/burrow etc when the markers aren't in position. He's nippy and quite strong for his size. A great kid.

Whatever team we put out, good luck boys....'"

Sadly Mick, you won't be seeing Annakin do that for a few games at least as he is out injured.
