They've just opened another block of the West (guessing a padded seat area usually not on sale) and another block of the North stand due to demand.

Probably field a reserve team this week

Got to be careful there. The RFL have launched a compliance investigation against Salford for their squad selection last week.

Whoops forget about him

may get a decision by season end

that will send shivers through the whole of S/L

We can go into Friday's game with confidence. I don't expect a win but a decent performance and another strong defensive display and I'll be happy.

Cartwriight and Bourouh are big misses. I wouldn't mind seeing Hutchinson get a run out. Would be a great chance for him.

Yeh the 2035 season end probably

Interesting game coming up - you would think Wigan will respond from the defeat last Thursday but then a few may have eyes on Vegas. In fairness I didn't think we were bad against Leigh and was impressed with the quality for a Round 1 - both sides played a strong attritional game and we just made a few mistakes at key moments. Fingers crossed the ruck is a little quicker on Friday - I don't buy this perception that less whistle is always a good thing. Penalise slow rucks early and the game benefits later on.

Assume Miski will come back in, otherwise probably unchanged for us. I expect more ball movement from Wigan this week if conditions allow.

Like most on here I think we'll probably come up short. And then I think back to last season and the pile of sh*t were serving up and then lo and behold we turned Wigan over. It couldn't happen again - Could it?

Stranger things have happened. We have an OK record against them at home in recent years. Need a good start and the crowd getting behind the team.

Still, it would be nice if Wigan rested a few before their Las Vegas trip.

Wigan need to win this one after their loss last week. They don't want to be 4 points behind the likes of saints and rovers this early in the season. They'll come here all guns blazing
