Salford have a few players out as well. No excuses we should be winning this.

It worked well last season under Last. Johnstone started did a ok job and Houghton came of the bench and looked more effective.

Sad to say it but your spot on!

If we need the win there is little point playing either Johnstone or McNamara.
Connor will have to revert to 6 with Wynne at full back
Its a pity Shaul is not available as i think Wynne at full back with Shaul taking the middle role again would have added some badly needed pace

little point having them on the bench for a one minute cameo

Totally agree I'm fed up of having these lads on the bench & coming on for 5 minutes totally pointless do other teams do this? If there not good enough dont pick them its just forcing other players to play longer minutes if there they play simple.

if he was available which he isn't. Am not saying it's a great idea but it's just a different way. Johnson if he did earlier in the year which wasn't bad. Then put Houghton on LTR. We need a change of tactics. Move things round a bit. We just need a win. Any win. Still a good enough team to get the 2 points.

Absolutely we need to get the win. Can we remember who were are playing. Its the team that was beaten by Leigh. You know Leigh, the team who had lost 17 on the bounce. If we can't beat Salford then its time to call it a day.

"Interestingly, or not we’re probably missing the whole of our first choice pack..the big boys

Mossop Ackers Ika
Greenwood Pauli
Taylor"

Time for the big earners to step up
Sneyd, Houghton, Taylor, Fonua all senior players who are meant to be amongst our best, let's see it in your performances, last chance saloon in my eyes......

Can't keep leaving it to Connor, Carlos, Satae and Sao to perform, they need help.

Wynne centre Today, Tag out Bowden Bench.

Here we go again, I quite enjoy a trip to the AJ Bell, might be the last time if the Reds are moving to a new ground. Even with the loss of Carlos, Grub, Cator, should have enough, but I've said that before this season and been made to eat my words. Need a strong start and senior players stepping up. Think we might get snake at 6 and Wynne at FB. CYOH

My first trip to the AJ Bell today.

All about the win today. Hopefully we’ll be ok, despite our injuries, Salford are not on a good run and have their own injuries.

Let’s get the win, hope for a few other results go in our favour today and then hopefully we’ll be stronger for Leeds at Magic.

is this game on sky anybody?

No. They are showing Casv Wigan and Warrington v Saints later.
