Team News For Salford Match

Quote: Dave K. "Not sure about Yeaman, had an awful game last week, but apart from that has started the season Ok, Crooks has been poor in just about every game this year.

Salford have some strong backs in Sau, Gleeson and Meli, not sure Crooks would cope with their strength.'"

I think you should be putting Greg Johnson at the top of that list. Bit of an unknown quantity to our fans when we signed him but I think it's fair to say he's already a big fans favourite. Stature wise he isn't the biggest but he punches way above his weight, has a great turn of pace and takes a hell of a lot of stopping.

I also think Sa'u is still a good 4 weeks from peak fitness and Meli doesn't look 100% fit ATM. Once everyone is fully fit I think we'll have a pretty decent backline. Could go either way tonight and wouldn't expect either team to win by more than 8-10 points.

Out of interest what are the chances of getting our games at the KC played on a Sunday afternoon in future? Granted we don't take the biggest away following but I'm sure that would increase with a Sunday 3pm kick-off. This year we're playing all the Lancs team at home on Fri night and the Yorks teams on a Sun afternoon. Crowds are up massively (although the potential of a competitive team obviously helps).

Anyway, good luck for tonight and we'll hopefully see a good close game.
