With Ellis facing a ban our pack looks so weak and small gunna be long 80 mins on Friday

Rangi was back for salford this week...sweet!

Ellis wont be playing unless the RFL collapses under the weight of its own incompetence

I'd go with this assuming Ellis is out and no props returning

difficult one this but i would possibly try the following

slater
morris
jennings
inglis
nightingale
thurston
cronk
fifita
smith
myles
lewis
thaiday
gallen

and before anyone suggests otherwise - its just a little bit of fun



of course i wouldn't pick nightingale

Replace Slater with Eden and that's one hell of a team.

actually was toying with putting cockayne in there to see if anyone would notice

right i'll do it properly now. assuming ellis gets a ban, and one or two players return from injury. also i'm approaching it largely from the point of view that most of the players who were so abject on sunday get one more chance to put it right

Seriously lightweight team, and I can't see Miller doing much to be honest as there'll be no platform for him. I'd be tempted to go with Rankin instead to protect Miller from criticism.

Yeaman to play as a makeshift second rower.

Gonna be a long night.
