Salford win being offered at 1/3 up to 1/5 across various bookies. Handicap around 10 start for Wakefield.

That looks about right.

It will be a significant test for us.
Although, IF we could beat them on their own turf, with a few players missing, we could really start to think about competing for the top 4, which is just bonkers !

Come on Trin !

I remember that our winning run last season came to an abrupt end at the AJ Bell. Historically it is not a ground where we tend to come away with the points. Going to be a tough game but I look forward to it.

Watson is a big fan of always playing his strongest side, so I think we'll line-up something like this...

O'Brien
Evalds
Sa'u
Welham
Johnson
Lui
Dobson
Kopczak
Tomkins
Tasi
BMM
Hauraki
Krasniqi

Lannon
Brinning
T Carney
Hasson

Which is a pretty strong side from us. We are missing a couple of key players but we've been lucky enough to have decent rotation with our young lads. Still think it will be a tough game but your crop of current injuries to key players should work in our favour. But you never know with RL!

Just for fun...

1) Scott Grix

2) Tom Johnstone
3) Bill Tupou
4) Dean Hadley
5) Judah Mazive

6) Jacob Miller
7) Christian Ackroyd

Adam Walker
9) Brad Moules
10) Mitch Allgood
11) Jon Molloy
12) Danny Kirmond
13) Tinirau Arona

A 13 made up of players who won't be playing...a couple of youngsters in, but not a bad side...Bill might be in but he may not be...and the 17 who take the field on Sunday will give it a good go too!

Nineteen for Salford:
Chris Annakin
Joe Arundel
Matty Ashurst
James Batchelor
Mason Caton-Brown
Jordan Crowther
Anthony England
David Fifita
Liam Finn
Ashley Gibson
Keegan Hirst
Craig Huby
Ben Jones-Bishop
Max Jowitt
Reece Lyne
Mikey Sio
Bill Tupou
Sam Williams
Kyle Wood

The opposition are having to think hell of a lot more now with the forwards laying a platform down the middle and pace and excellent finishing on the edges. Makes a change knowing that we have a chance in every game

looks like Grix and Kirmond are rested, no problem with that.
Also think Matty Ashurst may need a 'breather' soon.

I think Gibson did well and deserves his spot, in front of Arundel who I thought had a crap game against Huddersfield

I hear jacob jones has been put forward to 18th man tomorrow, massively proud of him.

17 year old prop forward,
6'2" & around 104kg
Does the hard unglamorous stuff, great engine and as tough as they come. When the circumstances allow it, he has a good right arm offload.

Another who wasn't picked up by Scholarships until Richard Kelly spotted him playing for Oulton and signed him. He's been an ever present in the Under 19s all season which is a tough gig for a 17 year old prop.

I was his coach at oulton,he came to see us at East Leeds and was impresed specifically with his work rate. Ive not come accross a more coachable player in all my time, a huge credit to jacob and his character to achieve all he has so far. I hope Clayton Lynch gets an opportunity in the 19s too as hes a phenominal athlete.

6 - 0 up - doing a lot of defending though. Jowitt is taking his chance based on performance so far.
