Quote: ccs "Supposing Ellis had tweeted he was fit and well, would that have been ok?
If all the Salford squad announced on Twitter their fitness levels, I'm sure Harris would simply say "Thanks for that, it saves me naming the team. I'm sure Hull won't be in the least bit interested."'"
You're comparing apples with oranges. If Ellis was/is fit, he plays no question, so it shows your hand. Salford have just made a big song and dance about all their injuries, if the players started to contradict that it would make them look foolish in the extreme.
Naughton, a relative fringe player, has been left out of the squad and people have asked if he injured (partly because according to some it was said on radio that he was). He's confirmed that he is not. That's all. Just 'I'm not injured' and a thumbs up. Not a dummy spit, no further elaboration about why he's not playing or that he doesn't understand or anything, just 'I'm not injured
