Heady days at the moment. 4 on the bounce can we make it 5? What changes to the team?

Tag and Ligi fingers crossed back probably at the expense of Gardiner and Staveley, Carlos maybe a doubt but if he's out Scott centre maybe Litten wing if not fit then McIntosh, still think we get caught out the right hand side a lot but we are improving.

Salford seem to be our bogey team. I don't think we've got a great record at the AJ Bell either.

Hopefully we can keep improving and get the win

Yeah we do still look a bit fragile on that edge, but there has been improvement. Salford's cup win against Huddersfield, in a bizarre game that saw 82 points scored , with a winning margin of 2, must give us some hope that we can go there and sneak it. Speaking of Huddersfield, maybe it was a blessing that Ian Watson turned us down; they have nothing but pride to play for this year, unless they miraculously win their remaining games, with the biggest and most expensive squad they have ever assembled, he needs to start winning or his position will be seriously in jeopardy, surely? Our team are playing with confidence and that is a big plus, certainly need to keep Clifford fit and Hoy will be better for having had some game time , so there is no reason why we cannot get a win, but I do think their expansive play will trouble us though, so we'll just sneak home and make it 5 from 5, hopefully.

Watson is getting found out this season.

To be honest the fact that Huddersfield put on so many points against Salford gives me hope that we have more than a chance to repay Salford given that Huddersfield have been struggling to score pts of late.

Think our left edge is now a pretty strong both in defence and going forward, but agree the right edge is still hit and miss and a soft spot. Hopefully Carlos is fit which he alluded it was precautionary he came off against Cas with the game already won as his return has seen a steady improvement on that side.

Taylor back and hopefully Ligi's knee issue isn't serious and he'll be back available which will certainly be a big plus for us.

Salford are no mugs under Rowley so its another big test in terms of our continued improvement and being consistent week in week out with our line speed and intensity.

It'll be a tough test for sure but we'll at least be playing with more confidence than last time.
They've shown they have errors in them when put under pressure.
As long we continue to put in the hard yards and keep getting a little bit better each week then I'll be happy.

Sao and Taylor back in for Staverley and Gardiner.

I'd be tempted to bring in Mcintosh for Scott too.

Scott to centre if Carlos is out.

Tough game, Salford are no push overs, think it will be close though. Looking forward to a trip to the AJ Bell, though the £10 parking really annoys me.

Wonder if Dupree will play

We play them Sunday. But he has a new club before then.

Obviously we owe salford one after last time

And will be a marker for how much we've improved since

Lafai would have another field day against scott and mcintosh

Don't think either are good enough esp mcintosh

He is injured

We have to get some serious pace onto that wing.
If Scott had pace he would have scored a try yesterday when in the clear but was easily cought.
Think Smith should consider moving Tuimavave into the second row at the expense of Lane to give us a bit more attacking threat,and move Scott back to centre.
Dont think Litten is the answer on the wing (would much rather see him at full back) but neither is McIntosh.
Out of the two i would play McIntosh
When we see Swift in action at the moment it just highlights what we are missing on the right
