No wonder his horse is pale

It’s Leeds v Saints this Thursday so I think we are safe.

Anyone know why Chris Satae wasn’t playing on Sunday ?

He may not have received his international clearance yet.

Yes the clearance was received in time but according to Poster CCS he was feeling dizzy after training due to all the travelling so Radford left him out.
We should be a different team going forward with him in the side.
Downside is we may be without both Kelly and Connor and Shaul will be doubtful if he has a calf injury.
Wonder if he will recall Liam Harris?
Buchanan to full back

Is Wynne injured/banned?

Banned for 5 matches after being sent off for fighting in a reserves game against fev.

He was disciplined by the club before his case was heard by the RFL, so they can't have been too impressed with what he did.

H's been a naughty boy and serving a 5 match ban for fighting.

Ha ha, that made me laugh.

What’s up with Connor?

Maybe the wellbeing of the player if he wasn't fit to play.

It's a distinct possibility but son of Denton appears to know better.

bbc weather now saying dry all day Saturday.they haven't a clue.

Or perhaps they are simply adjusting the forecast based on new data?

probably and they also haven't a clue

My bbc forecast at 11:00 was dry all day, at 13:00 it changed to rain for the next 3 hours. If they don't know what's happening in 2 hours time, then I suspect their forecast for 2 weeks time is useless.

if Kelly and connor where to be missing sat, who would play stand off? put tuime there and buchanan to centre or just put washy in? can harris play there?

Harris (and Bienek) haven't played a game this season, I reckon that's because we're close to the cap limit and simply can't play them.

I think you are probably right on that. If Connor and Kelly are not available I would go with Carlos but wouldn't be surprised to see Westerman or Washy.

I've always rated Lui and thought Salford would struggle when he left, but Lolohea has a point to prove, and it will certainly be more difficult if Kelly and Connor are missing. (Although I still don't think Connor is a standoff.)

Westerman or Washy is the Radford way so not surprised

think he's serving a 3 match ban

I think it will be very difficult game on Saturday.
I've been so impressed with Salford and particularly Watson, he can really get his teams to play no matter what cards he's dealt. And as a selling kind of club it must be frustrating but he keeps them "on it" and they can really play good running rugby when they're in the mood, no matter who they're up against.

They've been kind of hit and miss up to a few weeks ago, but in the last 3 or 4 weeks they've had really convincing wins.
Now that they know they can play, and put back to back wins together, they will be dangerous opposition who command respect.
I think Watson will have them believing they can be a winning club despite all the difficulties they face.

We really have to meet them head on and stop any momentum shifting their way, because they will be a difficult to stop should they get a head start.

Honestly think our 'A' game is needed Saturday, will be difficult with Kelly and possibly Connor out, but we have to find a way. If we can we will win the game.
It's a great opportunity to show we have the mentality and squad strength to face up strong all over the park, win more individual battles than they do and overcome this adversity.

I'd rather have to deal with this, than Watsons perennial hand of knowing he'll continue to lose most of his players who shine.
